We all know how wildly popular the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters is. It’s been around entirely too long to not know. So it’s definitely great to fill you guys in on Mythbusters Collection 7, a copy of which the folks at Discovery (via press agent Gaiam) sent out for us to review. And if you want to get your hands on this one, well, you’ll have to wait–this doesn’t even hit stores until Tuesday.

Mythbusters Collection 7 brings us fully ten episodes of our favorite experience that takes modern myths, be they from the theater or the movies or simply old wives’ tales, and evaluates them using a combination of scientific method (investigation, hypothesis and so on), extensive testing, and an extra step that often involves explosions, potential for great bodily harm, or fire for a note of crowd pleasing.

Granted, the myths that are gone after generally don’t involve simple things, like, say, the fuzzy quality of a caterpillar predicting the severity of winter, but rather, can a human being survive a fall off a several story building into a dumpster, or whether a human being will be compressed into the helmet of a diving suit following a sudden loss of compression. But then, it’s those very same myths that make Mythbusters significantly more watchable. This is a dose of action rock star science right here, science at its craziest and most crowd-pleasing since the invention of fireworks.

And you will learn things, guaranteed. You’ll learn about gas expansion, water displacement, visual acuity, and a wide, wide variety of scientific topics. It’s this variety that has been more than a little of what’s behind Mythbusters’ massive success and extreme popularity. And watching it is actually pretty thrilling. If you’ve never seen an episode of Mythbusters before, this is a great place to start. There are lots of little episodes here; the Mythbusters collections are really more a best-of than a complete series sort of setup, so you’ll get lots of the better stuff. And every episode will generally involve two myths, one with Adam and Jamie, and one with the dynamic trio of Grant, Tory, and Kari (who will be briefly replaced for stretches of this collection by Jessi Combs as Kari’s gone off to have a baby), so you’ll get double the mythbusting fun in each episode, and on the off chance you didn’t like one, you’ll have another waiting for added value.

And so, the Screenhead Ten Scale gives Mythbusters Collection 7 a seven out of ten. You’ll need at least a basic appreciation of science to get along with this, but if you do, then chances are you’re going to be all over this.
