the Mythbusters episodes are officially available on Youtube (free streaming)

These seem to be longer cuts of about 49 minutes each. A lot of other versions, including the ones I'm familiar with, are about 42-43 minutes. What extras do these longer versions have?

It’s also available as a channel on PlutoTV, if that’s your thing.

Here's a more useful link which conveniently has playlists divided by seasons.

Weird. In any case, the channel has playlists

Anyone know what episode is the voices to break wine glasses myth?

I can't find it with a search 😢

It honestly still blows my mind we never got a full box set of the show.

BlakCake@reddit

Wait! I could swear I saw a dvd of a season in a store, was it a bootleg?

[-]

There are some releases of individual seasons and episodes (someone here’s got a spreadsheet of them I think) but there’s no like… “Mythbusters: The Explosive Collection” box set of the entire series in one go. You can find it on home media but you’ve gotta do a lot of piecemeal hunting for long out of print seasonal collections.

they're also free online by other methods... and the good news is that they're 1080p 60fps

steven4297@reddit

60fps? Uhhhhh

[-]

Chicken-Nuggiesss@reddit

yeah older episodes of mythbusters are 60fps

[-]

garden-3750@reddit (OP)

older episodes of Mythbusters are 60fps

The season one DVD is interlaced video whereas the Youtube playlist doesn't show interlacing — the native frame rate likely isn't 60.

Wow, why is it suddenly available? Looks like content has been uploaded for over a year to the channel

They've been available here in Sweden and other countries for a couple years now. Maybe US streaming deals expired/changed allowing Banijay (content owners) to lift the geoblocks.

Side note, there are a number of mistakes and episodes being given the wrong Season and Episode Number

Example, Fish in a Barrel/Elephants Afraid of Mice is uploaded twice as S4: Episode 22 and 23, It is the exact same Video on both Uploads (because they are the same episode)

Season 4 Episode 23 should have been 'Killer Cable Snaps'

On the Youtube Channel, 'How to beat the lie detector test' is labeled as Season 4 Episode 25 which should actually be named and labeled 'Confederate Steam Gun' Season 5 Episode 24. Both the Lie Detector Test and Confederate Steam Gun are part of Season 5 Episode 24

The Real Season 4 Episode 25 was Air Cylinder Rocket, where they tested if a Compressed Air Tank could really shoot through a wall if you knocked the valve off of it

This is just a small example of the number of mistakes on the Youtube channel.

I don't know how whoever is in charge of the Youtube channel managed to make these mistakes in the first place when you can still find the Official Episode list on Discovery's Website:

I'm tempted to say there was something similar on Amazon as well. I'm sure the numbers didn't add up when I saw them on there a few years ago

Oh, good. You figured out how to keep it from going to a 404 page. That was weird.

Oh, good. You figured out how to keep it from going to a 404 page.

I originally submitted the youtube.com/@Mythbusterstvshow URL, may not redirect correctly. The /r/television post has the same issue.

[-]

TheVoicesOfBrian@reddit

I tried it myself with just copying and pasting the same URL into the browser and it went to 404. It's not a Reddit issue, it's YouTube.

[-]

garden-3750@reddit (OP)

Yes, Youtube has some complications with the "phonetic" channel URLs.

ExcaliburZSH@reddit

That is cool

Outside_Struggles698@reddit

Good. I've been watching on discovery+, unfortunately I can't put it on my phone. I love rewatxbing my childhood and remembering why I loved it as a kid. Hopefully my kids fall in love with it too. Heart breaking seeing Grant, but sharing his memory with the younger generation. Wonder if they're ever do a true reboot - I know Jamie is a college professor now.. Adam is on YouTube and does Mythbusters Jr.. the white Rabbit Project was a thing for awhile. Can't get into either one.

You may be able to get a /r/smyths -like experience by using Sponsorblock (consider submitting segments to the database, the series' intro appears to have varying length).
