This upcoming Wednesday maybe?  The episode title is "Wheel of Mythfortune"...

It is this very Wednesday (11/23).  The episode title refers to the mechanism they are using to select the viewer-submitted myths for the episode.

Mythbusters is one of my favorite shows out there right now (I catch all the reruns on Netflix on-demand).  Too bad there is not a celebrity-driven game show out there right now that they can be seen in.  I could see Jamie and/or Adam being good players who'd want to play the game.

8PM next Wednesday as well.  I think they slipped in a Cullen TPIR clip at one point too...

I thought that the "myth" was handled quite well.  

As shocked as I was that all 20 people refused to switch, I still thought 20 was still too small of a sample size to make any declarations.

The game that Adam and Jamie played could have easily been explained with that bit of probability at the end.

Bump for the east that it's on in a half-hour.
