Thanks User:Drat for all the help on this page. I see it's part of the MythBusters template now.

We need to add to it. I arbitrarily created the template: Cast Name: Title - Information or episodes. Bold, colon, italics, dash, regular text.

Don't know who put that tracer ammo is banned - it's not (at least in the US). Hard to find? Yes. Banned? No.--Davidwiz 16:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Tracers are illegal in california. http://www.gunlaw.com/10commontraps.htm --Charles —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.224.175.192 (talk) 10:51, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

Is that blog post for Scottie Chapman really relevant for her mythbusters job, or is it talking about somewhere she worked subsequently? She doesn't mention which in the post, and the timing seems to be off since I thought she left mythbusters earlier than 2006. 207.215.10.108 21:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

The blog post was clearly referring to a later job, so I'm gonna lose that line. Pjbflynn 05:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I thought she was still there, just not on the show anymore. Can't remember where I heard that, though. EVula 21:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Anyone think the medics should be included? I know one named Sanjay was in several episodes and did speak on camera, so he and others might qualify BT14 08:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Voice Over man

In earlier episodes of the show, there was an Australian who did the voice overs. These were not dubbed over, they were the original.

Though the DVD versions have been re-dubbed with the current voice.

[edit] Alan Normandy

With all the times he's helped the Mythbusters with their gun myths, shouldn't he be on here too?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.168.205 (talk • contribs)

He is.--Drat (Talk) 07:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ted Removal?

Ted is no longer on Mythbusters, he appeared in one Myth and is "dead" now. Shouldn't we remove his paragraph?

[edit] Guests?

I know the guest section looks for expansion, but it seems like the kind of section that should be wiped, not expanded. Many of the listed people are not in any way notable. I highly doubt anyone in the world will look up wikipedia to find out more about the guy who sold the mythbusters vacuum parts, or the guy who they consulted on elevator safety in one episode. I would like to hear arguments as to why these kinds of entries should remain. Until then, I am being bold and deleting them. They can be reverted if there is actual support for them TheHYPO (talk) 09:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the article is to note recurring guests and honorary mythbusters, not to provide credits for every appearance on MythBusters Silent52 (talk) 09:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the pigeon wrangler in Birds in a Truck be included here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.227.18.184 (talk) 16:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Medic?

How about a mention of Sanjay the medic? He was in the Goldfinger retest and the Chinese Water Torture. I think he's been in at least one other episode so that warrants mention right? BT14 (talk) 07:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Earl"

Can anyone confirm how often the car was featured? Obviously in the exploding gas tank myth, and in the nose-drop to kill it; but was it used in any other myths in between? Two appearances shouldn't qualify for this article. TheHYPO (talk) 05:53, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

How about the Exploding truck tire myth, where they turned "Earl" into a Dynomometer —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.227.18.184 (talk) 16:43, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Exploding Truck Tire happened after Earl's nose dive, so that isn't valid. I do remember Earl was used for "Boom-Lift Catapult" briefly (second test, where the boom lift was attached to the car engine still in the car), and I believe that it was actually the car used in "Biscuit Aerosol Bazooka" for the Myths Revisited episode (though I cannot confirm that). That makes three, possibly four episodes it appeared in. Incidentally, the gas tank explosion myth was only one of a long series of myths tested with the car in that particular episode; the entire series of myths was called "Car Capers". There may be more appearances I missed (I do not know whether or not it was the car used in "Beat the Radar Detector", for example), but those are the ones I remember. —MarsJenkar (talk | contribs) 18:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I feel it is going to be difficult to know for certain. I dispute Mars statement, in that exploding truck tire was _shown_ after the nose dive, but were they _filmed_ in the same order? When watching many shows back-to-back, I see Kari/Tori/Grant in the same shirts across different shows, showing they taped the discussion for one myth on the same day as another, then added more discussion later. Either way, I don't see Earl as noteworthy anyway, but are you applying the same criteria for everything else? What's the magic number of appearances and what's justification for that number? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MJ56003 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Buster conflict?

I've noticed that in the Buster section, in the second paragraph it refers to the remodeled Buster as "Buster 2.0", but in the last paragraph it claims that there was a second Buster, called "Buster 2.0 - not to be confused with the remodeled Buster 1.0". Can someone confirm? --09SentraSpecV (talk) 17:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Confirmed; both the remodeled Buster 1.0 and the all-new Buster were referred to as "Buster 2.0" in their respective first appearances. It *is* confusing, but them's the facts. —MarsJenkar (talk | contribs) 18:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
