Favorite Educational Show

[hoosier1104]

Being that I am in the engineering field or will be eventually, I quite enjoy Mythbusters. I find it educational and awesome at the same time.

bill nye was the best by far.

Pawn Stars

Bill Nye and Magic School Bus

I liked Mythbusters in the begining, but now I can't stand to watch when they just talk because they make it way too obvious that it is scripted.

1. Modern Marvels (History Channel)
2. How it's made (Discovery, Science Channel)
3. Mythbusters.

And if I remember to watch- How the earth was made on History.

Good subject!

The Planet Earth series is pretty awesome too

I really miss the old "Junkyard Wars". THAT was educational, enteraining, reality TV at it's best.

 

[ZMan]

Pawn Stars

That show really is better than you would think.

Reading Rainbow with Jordi LeForge.

 

[Captain Ledd]

I recently caught a show on PBS that was insanely awesome called "The Woodwright's Shop With Roy Underhill". Traditional woodworking.

the red green show on pbs, its pretty educational and funny. also dirty jobs, and modern marvels.

Bull$h!t. (Yes, you can find it on Showtime, IIRC)

Actually I haven't really watched TV in years so I can't comment much....

I like mythbusters for the most part but sometimes the dialog is pretty fake and sometimes it seems like they don't have the engineering background the show claims to have.

I'm really bad about picking apart technical TV/movies though.


My fave would definitely be Top Gear. If they made mythbusters with the Top Gear cast, that would win the academy award for best show ever.
