Interestingly enough, that’s also why I liked the older seasons of Mythbusters. You’d see much more of the planning/preparation for their tests, including all the safety considerations.
ie, they’d do the usual “don’t try this at home”, but then you’d actually see just how much planning/etc it takes to do such things properly and safely.
Hm, yeah, I hadn’t noticed that. They do still show the engineering and problem-solving process (where they laboriously set up an experiment, run it, and its results turn out to be completely useless), but not really the safety stuff that goes along with it anymore.
Maybe it’s because they are running more myths per show now that the build team pretty much does their own separate thing?
