In my opinion, Mythbusters is one of the best shows on TV, and most definitely the best science show available.  The show blends humor and science artfully, making it a very nerdy comedy (or a very funny nerd show, depending on your opinion).

The show is primarily hosted by Jamie Hyneman (the owner of M5 Industries, a special effects workshop) and Adam Savage (an artist/movie maker/designer/magician).  The show has Tony Belleci, Kari Byron, and Grant Imahara  hosting the secondary plot of the show.  The show is filmed in M5 Industries’ workshop/warehouse in San Fransisco.

They have a general habit of just blowing stuff up, as most myths involve death or destruction.  My two favorites were the flaming pilot’s hair myth and the explosive concrete removal myth.  In the pilot myth, a Canadian fighter pilot was flying his jet…

There is one constant cable channel I watch on TV, especially when boredom hits me: Travel Channel. It’s always entertaining and never boring. And I love the fact that I get to see all these different places from the comfort of my own home. Funnily enough, a lot of the shows I love involve food one way or another.

Man v Food

Adam Richman is passionate about food, which makes him the perfect host for Man v Food. He travels from city to city all over the US to take on food challenges everywhere. He’s battled the hottest curry in New York, the hottest ramen in Los Angeles, the 11-lb. Carnivore Pizza Challenge in Atlanta, the Big Badass 6-lb burrito challenge in Las Vegas, the Acme Oyster House 180 oyster challenge and the Firebrand Chili Challenge in Springfield,…

Are you watching The Office? If you’ve ever worked in a cubicle farm, you should be.  The antics of Michael Scott and the gang at Dunder Mifflin Scranton are head and shoulders above the rest of the sitcoms on TV today.  The bread and butter of the show is in its ability to make the most of an awkward situation.

Almost every week there is a moment in the show that brings the viewer an almost guilty, voyeuristic feeling, as if you are watching something that you just aren’t meant to see but you don’t know how to back out of it gracefully.  The sublimely inept Michael, played by Steve Carell, repeatedly finds himself embroiled in bad situations of his own making that are at once bizarre and somehow familiar.

The entire staff of the Dunder Mifflin…

TV executives are preparing for the summer and fall TV seasons and signing new TV shows. Here’s a list of upcoming shows to watch for.

From the same creator of Friends comes a comedy about sisters. Scoundrels, from Shana Goldberg-Meehan, is about two sisters in different kinds of romantic relationships.

The Winter Olympics begin today in Vancouver.  NBC begins broadcasting at 7:30 pm EDT and will air the opening ceremonies.  If you are planning on watching tonight’s events, here is some information worth noting:

1.  The opening ceremonies begin at 6:00 pm PT.  So, if you live on the east coast and want to watch the whole ceremony, you should plan on being awake past 10 pm.  Of course, it is Friday, so most likely you can sleep in on Saturday, if you’re not a late night person.

2.  During the opening ceremonies, “We Are the World 25 for Haiti” will premier.  Although the staff at Couch Tuber has searched diligently, there is no exact time for this event.

3.  In addition to the opening ceremonies, the first event occurs today- ski jumping.

4.  For more information regarding events and…
