Here's your guide to MythBusters episodes past and present.

Ah, but when will the shows air, you ask? Watch the MythBusters on Wednesday, 9 p.m. E/P.
Also, check out the schedule to see which myths they'll be busting next and for re-airings.

Need your MythBusters fix NOW? Watch funny outtakes, behind-the-scenes moments and clips from the show.

Demolition Derby (Apr. 8)
Is Keanu Reeve's iconic motoring movie Speed just fake film physics? Will a car dropped from 4,000 feet fall faster than a speeding car? Is the compact conundrum of a two-truck head-on collision a myth?

Alaska Special (Apr. 15)
Is Pykrete really tougher than concrete? Is it durable enough to make a boat out of? Can a V-shaped snowplow really split a car in two?

Banana Slip/Double-Dip (Apr. 22)
Can a banana peel really cause one to slip? Does double dipping cause germ warfare? And can the build team really make a homemade diamond?

YouTube Special (Apr. 29)
Do match heads alone have the explosive punch to fire a homemade cannon? Can a 7-foot ball of Lego blocks become a rolling weapon of mass destruction?

Swimming in Syrup (May 6)
Is it really possible to swim just as fast in syrup as in water? Could MacGyver truly have blown a steel door in a cargo ship by packing the lock with gun powder and setting off the blast with a gun handle?

Exploding Bumper (May 13)
Car bumpers are meant for protection, but could they become deadly and explode? Is it true that Hungarian archers got twice the penetration shooting a bow from a galloping horse?
Seesaw Saga (May 20)
Could a sky diver whose parachute failed to open hit a playground seesaw and send a small girl flying seven stories high? All FIVE MythBusters test this myth together.

Thermite vs. Ice (May 27)
See what happens when you combine thermite, a chemical that burns at almost 2,000 degrees, with ice. It's not what you would expect! Could a huge stereo system set off a rifle with its vibrations?

Prison Escape (June 3)
Is it possible to cling to the roof of a speeding and swerving car like in the action movies? Can jailbirds use dental floss to cut through solid steel bars? Buster gets put to the test in a cannonball escape.

Curving Bullets (June 10)
Can a sonic shock wave shatter glass? Is it possible for bullets to bend around obstacles with a side arm flick of the wrist?

Car vs. Rain (June 17)
If you're out for a spin in your convertible and it starts raining, can you stay dry by simply driving faster? Could popcorn be cooked by a laser or an explosion?
