"MythBusters" Season 10 on Discovery Channel uses science to uncover the truth behind popular myths and legends.

Fresh off its third consecutive Emmy nomination, "MythBusters" is back for more explosive science-y goodness, as hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, and Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara, return in fall 2011. The series, which first launched on Discovery Channel in 2003, is inspiring a generation to inquire, interact and get involved with science ... by using experimentation to prove or disprove popular myths, misconceptions or legends.

So. You're minding your own business, filling up your gas tank, when your cell phone rings. Hmmm. Should you answer it? Because you've heard you shouldn't use cell phones near gas stations since they can produce small sparks that can ignite big fires. But wait. Could that actually be true? Sounds like a job for "MythBusters"!



Called the best science show on television, "MythBusters" has aired on Discovery Channel since October 2003. To date, "MythBusters" has tested over 760 myths with more than 2,300 experiments that included more than 700 explosions and the destruction of 128 vehicles!

Fall 2011 myths will include:

• Is it impossible for humans (without a point of reference) to walk in a straight line?

• Are motorcycles better for the environment than cars?

• If a pigeon lands on the roof of a car, which is hanging precariously over a cliff's edge, could it provide enough force to send the car plunging over the side?

• In a standoff between a hero with a revolver and a villain with a rocket propelled grenade (as seen in the movie "Red"), could the bullet trigger the warhead? And would the villain be taken out by the blast?

"MythBusters" is produced for Discovery Channel by Beyond Productions. Dan Tapster is executive producer for Beyond Productions; Tracy Rudolph is supervising producer for Discovery Channel.
