I think I may do some love / hate type entries in here, regarding books, movies, TV and music. Generally I do not read, watch or listen to things I hate, so despite being a serial cynic, this may be full of Love.

My first TV Love entry will be for Mythusters.

Here are two reasons:

The Content

I appreciate the way science is integrated into a show that is both interesting and family accessible. I give major props to things that, in the modern era, maintain their maximum amusement value without any reliance on vulgarity or profanity.

(For ex, I love Mitch Hedberg, probs my favorite comedian. However, mad respect to my almost favorite comedian Jim Gaffigan. His PG-rated humor is hysterical and doesn't feel empty despite being appropriate for kids.)

The Cast

Kari is hot. And Tori is hot. And Grant is adorable. The three of them seem to love their job, and it makes me love them. There are geniunely human moments on the show, particularly between them, that make it all the more engaging to me; for ex., Tori is visibly upset when Kari undergoes the Chinese Water Torture test, so much so even my brother was emotionally impacted. And touching moments aside, that rapport is too good to be fake-- and if I could be 35, look like her and have two brilliant guy friends I blew stuff up with all the time, I'd be in heaven. Fantasy much?

Adam is fantastic with the most contagious laugh to grace modern TV and a fabulous sense of humor. While Jamie is often grumpy, his wit, when present, is viscous fun. It upsets the little brother (he and I always watch Mythbusters together) and I when Jamie is short with Adam, and honestly I don't know how Jamie can be so easily bothered when he has an incredible job with incredible coworkers.
