Yes, but I don't NEED to have it sent to my cell phone to see what the latest blurb is about and I really don't care what all the celebrities posting on twitter and the like are doing right now.

I used to regularly watch Mythbusters but it became more of a 'controlled' explosions show. The original show formula of cool experiments and the science behind was replaced with let's blow this thing up and see what happen. Al least Discovery Science channel still have relevant programming. But I got to say , that rocket thing was awesome!

It's getting a bit better. I think a lot of it is driven by their producers. When Peter, Adam, my wife, and I saw them live, they said that some of their favorites are ones that don't include explosions.
Anyone else notice that Discovery is just taking elements from their good shows (Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters in particular) and making whole shows out of them? I mean, come on. A slow motion show. A blowing stuff up show. Please.

Obviously you are not remembering the old Canadian SCTV classic from the 80's, "Celebrity Blow Up."
Some more memorable guests whom were "blowed up real good!" include, Dustin Hoffman, David Steinberg, Bernadette Peters, Meryl Streep, and Neil Sedaka.

Oh, I was talking about my location.  Nope, not seen much Canadian television (ignoring made in CA stuff broadcast in the US), apart from the Red Green show, which I'm sorry to say, struck me as pretty dumb. <runs away and hides>

Well if you thought Red Green was dumb, well lets just say SCTV made Red Green look like a serious documentary. It was the dumbest of dumb, dumbness. Although I do have a soft spot for the Bob and Doug Mackenzie characters.
