Talk:MythBusters (season 7)

Don't Drive Angry Location
Where was the abandoned city they filmed Don't Drive Angry in? PolarisSLBM (talk) 23:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The only answer that I have is that the location of the Don't Drive Angry myth is somewhere in California, USA. Gibsonj338 (talk) 04:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Tory said it was Cypress Knolls in Marina. --BrianIgmac (talk) 05:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Statement vs. Myth Statement
I'd rather these headers be "statement" rather than "myth statement" because some of the statements are not myths. Bubba73 (talk), 00:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the Mythbusters use the main meaning of the word "myth", which is a "traditional or legendary story with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation", which does not imply automatic falsehood. There are some items which don't fall under that category, but they usually have renamed tables (look at the season 6 MacGyver Challenge for example). Spejic (talk) 03:02, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, it depends on the definition. Let it stand.  Bubba73 (talk), 03:25, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OTOH, when one of the guys uses the word "myth" in the Moon Landing show, it always seems to be in the sense of something that isn't true. Bubba73 (talk), 03:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * If they are myth-busters, then how can they bust a myth that is true? Bubba73 (talk), 05:57, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Meaning of "Myth Busted" : The traditional or legendary story is proven to be false. By contrast "Myth Confirmed" The tradional or lengendary story is proven to be true. Jon (talk) 17:56, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * But they confimed Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment and Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation, and those aren't traditional or legendary stories. That isn't a myth. Even hoax believers accept that as a fact, they just don't interpret it the way most people do.  Bubba73 (talk), 19:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That's because the article still needs editing, which should be expected only a few days after the episode. The unspoken myth that the Mythbusters were busting is "There is no current physical evidence that the Apollo astronauts every landed on the moon".  Spejic (talk) 21:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * To be nit-picky (sorry, I'm on a stimulant today and my brain isn't working normally), the article says "Myth statement: The Apollo astronauts left behind special equipment on the Moon like reflectors that scientists can bounce lasers off of." Seems to me that the myth would be that they did not leave stuff on the Moon.  However, they "confirmed" the statement that it is there.  But I've already made a significant number of edits to that section of the article, so I'm about through.  Bubba73 (talk), 21:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

(unindent) How about calling them "Claims" instead of "Myth Statements"? I think that would eliminate the problems. Bubba73 (talk), 21:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Season subdivision, reference
Why aren't there any source references to the season subdivisions? Where do you get the information on when each season begins? There seem to bee different information on different websites. And the official MythBusters site doesn't list seasons at all. Wouldn't it be better to just arrange the episodes under year and skip the season subdivisions if there are no secure sources?! / Dreamingtree (talk) 15:44, 2 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the main list of season articles would be the best place for discussion on the season boundaries rather than the indivudal season pages. Jon (talk) 18:03, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:MythBusters (2003 season) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 05:02, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
