Great for everyone over the age of 8.
It is my favorite sceince show and 2 favorite show of all time. I love how iteresting it is. Also it is the only show I know of that is not afraid to admit they are wrong and that they will test something over again and try not to be embarrassed. They to use the occasional "hell" but it is in context. Sometimes they do test myths where they have to get drunk in order to test it but they allways say how much they hate doing it because they know its bad for them. I was suprised and a little scared when I was younger when they were testing how powerful dropping a toaster (or any other electricle apliance) they showed a clip from one of the child's play movies. It was very violent and I was only 9 years old at the time and I was in the bassment with all of the lights turned off. But I guess I was just being the scaredy cat that I am. I actually saw the episode the other day and well I realized that it really wasn't that bad. So in the end it will recomend Mythbusters is okay for any child 8 years or older. Just make sure they know what will happen in the electricution episode!

Mythbusters Rockkkk!
I think this is good for everyone because it teaches how to think of science in a way that can be intresting rather than using a long science class to explain things and people falling asleep on you

Best Show..... EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG this is the best show on TV. The best mythbuster is Carrie. The only thing is that they say stuff like mild swears. Otherwise, this is the best show on TV. MY mom, dad, sister, and friends all LOVE it!!!!!

I LOVE this show it is so fun and cool but they don't show it on discovery channel much which is sad, or maybe they are just needing to come out with a new season. I love explosions, other than a few words here and there it is a great informational show!

Great family friendly show.
This is a good show. There is some drinking and references to smoking, but it is almost always viewed in a negative light. I hardly think the show is violent, considering no one (usually) gets hurt. Swearing is very infrequent and most often bleeped out. Anything that does get past is very mild and never directed at another person. Adam, Jamie, Kari, Tory, and Grant are all good role models. They take every precaution to make sure the experiments are safe and and are nice people toward each other.

Really Smart and Awesome!!!
This is the best science show I've seen in a long time. The experiments are always given the scientific approach. Some myths have drinking involved, and language is occasional, but it still rocks. And don't get me started on the explosions!

This show is really cool for all ages. There is some language which is bleeped out, and some violence during the experiments. All in, great for all ages, education, and overall: AWESOME!

Excellent Show
This is show is hilarious and educational. I've never loved science until this show. Yes, I WILL say that there is explosives and minor language, but it has entertaining educational value. Plus, for a girl my age, every episode has me cracking up.

Fine for most
I think it is fine for 7 and up if they have a parent or relative with them watching the show, but 9 and up to be alone watching the show but be sure to remember to remind them to not say some of the things on the show and that NEVER to do the exparaments without an adult or the proper saftey gear. The show is really for everyone but mainly 7 and up. Please realize some of the language is bad and some of the jokes are a bit to sexually mature for some younger viewers. But overall, the show is great for everyone!
