Mythbusters Incorrect Episode?

[generaltso]

The guide info for last night's Mythbusters was "Viral Hour", but it looks like it was just a rerun of one of the Pirate specials.

Did everyone else have this problem?

[SeanC]

Yes, same thing happened to me.

[generaltso]

I guess I'll have to add manual recordings of all the upcoming showings of "Viral Hour" in hopes that one of them really is the correct episode.

It appears that they pulled this and next week's episodes at the last second. http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9401967776/m/1241997979

Bummer, now I need to setup recordings for Viral Hour. I was all excited to watch it too.

[mearlus]

Yep, ours recorded the Pirates episode as well. No Viral Hour episode is in the upcoming schedule so far. *sigh*

the Viral episode doesn't seem to be listed....
as the next episode, on the Tivo, is the NASA moon landing -

shades of Capricorn One :)

Viral episode was moved to last episode of the season (Oct 1st).

"Viral Hour" showed up on my TiVo for Wednesday 9/3.

Interesting... I wonder what happened. I'll have to ask Adam.

The 'flying jet car' was suggested by me.
:cool:

For the episode on "Internet Viral Videos", I had suggested to Adam the water jets lifting a car...

A friend mentioned to me that some firefighters had lifted a car using only 10 firehose water jets.

I dug around till I found this...

It seems like a 'myth' that would go over well visually with your viewers.

Do you know Adam personally?

From what it seems Adam and Jamie are some of the most down to earth celebrities. I saw them at the University of Florida right before I moved away from Gainesville and their personalities are just as they appear on TV.

That's awesome. :up:

Yes. I called him and took my team over to get a tour of M5. That was how we met.

Can I go next time? I've always been tempted to drive past M5 just to see it in person. :D

Looks like "Viral Hour" is now 9/3 and is not showing up as new so you will need to manually record.

wow, thank's for the update. I almost missed that one. Not cool.......

[generaltso]

Yup, Viral Hour was on last night and I got it with a manual recording. I guess everything is now right with the world.
