Does your wife despise Mythbusters yet...

[thresher]

Loooove Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe? I have spoken to a few male friends re: this topic and there seems to be a general consensus. Is Mike Rowe that darned appealing (ladies?) or is it that mythbusters is just the show you love to hate? And, the reason some guys seem to dig Mythbusters more and more.... http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/meet/gallery/kari_bio.jpg ;) Mods, could ya do me a favor and move this to, oh, say, entertainment? I missed my mark. Thanks.

i enjoy both shows, but if i had to pick one over the other it would be Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe is funny and boyishly adventurous. he has a certain charm that the guys on Mythbusters do not.
plus, it's really cool seeing those dirty jobs that "somebody's gotta do."

[yippiekiyeh]

Definitely the myth buster boys aren't charming, but they are geeky and that is aways appreciated!

I can't stand him!

I love both shows! :D

I think he used to be a navy SEAL, so that might not be a very good idea.

Probably got kicked out after they implemented the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy

Edit:

Hyneman has a degree in Russian language and literature. He has had a variety of careers, including scuba diver, wilderness survival expert, boat captain, linguist, pet shop owner, animal wrangler, machinist, concrete inspector, and chef. It was joked in several episodes that he had spent time in the special forces.

Looks like he wasn't.

Hope that means you don't hate me for quoting from the same show. :)

Best watch your back! :boxing: :woo:

I like Mythbusters, But I haven't seen it in a while. Watched a marathon of it when I first started dating my ex. Maybe that's why she is my ex? OH wait.. no.. I broke up with her.

[cheapie]

I love both shows! :D


it would probably be easier to mention the shows that you don't watch. it's kind of a given that if it's on tv, jenny's got it on a tivo somewhere. ;)

[BigJon]

I like watching both...mythbusters a little more than dirty jobs though. But yes...Kari is not too bad looking either. :D

Oh yeah...and the wife loves mythbusters too. :D

[baggio248]

My wife loves Mythbusters, she makes me watch the reruns.

[MrGreg]

Looks like he wasn't.

I stand corrected. I did just discover, however, that Kari appeared in a four-page spread in the June 2006 edition of FHM.

I have yet to find these pictures online, but once I get home it will be first priority.

[DarkFury]

Though I like both shows... I still give MythBusters the edge in "useful content"... especially when they bust myths that some people SWEAR is true. :D


On a side note, when there is absolutely nothing to watch on TV, thank god for Discovery/TLC/History channels for giving us SOMETHING to piss away our time on and not be totally bored (of course the internet does a good job of that as well. :D )

They can come through at times. However, a week of crabbing ships of the coast of Alaska...?

Deadliest Catch is an awesome show!

Actually, I kinda enjoy watching "Deadliest Catch"...

Pretty much, most of the world (that I will NEVER see in person) has been brought to me in live living color by the Discovery Channel. :D

ROFLMAO After 4 years, you know me so well. :D haha

I think that's part of what makes Dirty Jobs interesting, too. It gives you a "behind the scenes" look at workplaces that you would never otherwise see.

[DarkFury]

lol Not many. ;) I can probably name 3 maybe 4. :)

[nickel]

Deadliest Catch is an awesome show!
but there is no new material with Deadliest Catch. it's like same crabs... different day.

[cadetevon]

I'm a fan of both and I used to LOVE Junk Yard Wars, man that was a cool show.

whatever happened to junkyard wars? we loved that show too (except the british one was more fun)

[Jane83]

i like mythbusters, they do a good show

[Houdini]

:stupid:

I loved the objectives in the British ones. Like when they sank two old Minis and gave the two teams two days to figure out how to build something to raise them to the surface. That stuff was cool, and required imagination, etc.

That was a great show. The british ones were really good.

[chrissy]

I like Mythbusters way more than dirty jobs. However, I have been watching Brainiac and kinda like that more

[Yossarian]

Gimmie Junkyard Wars over either....that said, i'll do mythbusters over dirty jobs. dirty jobs is good, but i can see them running out of dirty jobs before myths

[Jenny]

haha This is perfect for this thread:
