Episode 1: Ice Bullet, Exploding Toilet, Who Gets Wetter?
Jamie and Adam set out to methodically bust three urban legends in the premiere episode of Mythbusters. Smoking in the bathroom — a bad habit made worse when shards of flaming toilet start flying. But is it really possible to explode a commode by spraying a flammable substance down the bowl then lighting a match? Jamie and Adam find out if this myth holds water. Speaking of soggy, do you get wetter running or walking in the rain? And can assassins use bullets made of ice in order to not leave evidence in their victims? Our guys put these fables to the test.

Episode 2: Cell Phone Destruction, Silicone Breasts, CD-ROM Shattering
In this episode, Jamie and Adam test several explosive theories. Can chatting on a cell phone while pumping gas cause the pump to blow up? Our mythbusters put themselves at risk so you don't have to.

Episode 4: Penny Drop, Deadly Microwaves, Radio Tooth Fillings
Can pennies from heaven kill? Or, more specifically, can a penny dropped from a skyscraper kill a pedestrian on the sidewalk below? Jamie and Adam take the challenge, hopefully without deadly results. Speaking of fatal fallacies, is it possible to literally bake yourself on a tanning bed from the inside out? The guys also investigate the claim that Lucille Ball exposed a Japanese spy ring by listening to radio signals transmitted by her tooth fillings. Hmmm ...
