MythBusters: Science Entertainment TV Show on The Discovery Channel

MythBusters is a science entertainment TV program created and produced by Beyond Television Productions for the Discovery Channel. The series is screened by numerous international broadcasters, including 7 mate, Discovery Channel Australia, Discovery Channel Latin America, Discovery Channel Canada, Quest and the Discovery Channel in the UK. The show's hosts, special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, use elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos and news stories.
Filming is based in San Francisco, California, though some elements of production are done in Artarmon, Australia. Planning and some experimentation takes place at Hyneman's workshops; experiments requiring more space or special accommodations are filmed on location, typically around the San Francisco Bay Area and other Northern California places. During the second season, members of Savage and Hyneman's team ("The Build Team") were organized into a second team and now generally test myths separately from the main duo.
MythBusters Season 9 Episode 12 (Paper Armor) airs: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 9:00pm EDT on The Discovery Channel. Synopsis of the episode: How to avoid injuries from shock waves in the water; does armor made of paper compare to steel armor?
