MythBusters, Season 4

The MythBusters, Jamie and Adam, two special effects experts with more than 30 years of experience, set out to methodically bust three urban legends in each episode. They test myths to prove or disprove what is real and what is truly urban legend. The season kicks off with a deeper look at The American Civil War — fought with polished bayonets, unreliable muskets, and bulky cannons. But was that all? Not according to the Mythbusters: Adam, Jamie, and the build team join forces to find out if the Confederate Army had a secret deadly weapon. The team also tests facts of flatulence all the way to investigating exploding pants and the famous diet cola and mentos question.
