They've also had some good ones like the traffic experiment where they showed you get a more or less permanent wave of slowed cars from a one person hitting the brakes a single time. But yeah, hard to keep finding good ideas.

Oh, it hasn't been all bad. I was genuinely invested in one of the last myths the Build Team did, when they were testing whether it would be faster to drive to Los Angeles or fly there.

And the one where they tested whether you arrive faster by aggressive lane changes in traffic. Answer: doesn't gain you much while adding a lot of stress and risk.

The Grinder is a fun deconstruction of a genre. I liked the couple episodes I watched.

If you like mythbusters, you should check out "Going Deep With David Rees." All the episodes from season 1 are on youtube.

The new Aziz Ansari Netflix show looks good. NSFW-language:

Anyone here going to watch the new Supergirl on CBS?

I am not afraid to admit I am hooked on The Flash and Arrow, so of course I am going to watch this.

Also, any other Blindspot watchers here?

That opening scene was stunning, and it's been just OK so far. I'm a sucker for any procedural with a strong background story arc so I'll keep watching, but it's not Blacklist by any means.
