Mythbusters bump. My favorite tv show. I like all the realistic forensic crime shows too e.g. Cold Case Files. I even like CSI Las Vegas. But Mythbusters is the best. Or as my spanish Discovery Channel calls them: Los Cazadores Del Mitos.
I like forensic crime shows too. CSI and CSI NY but not Miami. The red head guy drives me crazy, he's such a terrible actor!
Try City Confidential and the First 48 (I think they are on TLC or A&E or one of those). They are real crimes and follow the investigation with the detectives. Not as heavy on the forensics but really good shows if you like true crime.
Also on our Tivo: Lost (for hubby, I never got into it); Criminal Minds; and that trashy, guilty pleasure Desperate Housewives (my new Knot's Landing). And of course we are anxiously awaiting the new season of 24.
