    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Katherine Nelson: 310-975-5975 March 24, 2010 [email protected] CASH, TRASH, PAIN AND SODA…WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? NEW PREMIERE EPISODES OF MYTHBUSTERS BEGIN MARCH 24 (Silver Spring, Md.) – MYTHBUSTERS returns Wednesday, March 24 with jaw dropping world premieres hosted by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, and co-hosts Tory Belleci, Grant Imahara and Kari Byron. In all, eleven new episodes will air Wednesdays at 9PM (ET/PT) through June 2010. New premieres begin March 24 with a killer episode testing whether a soda cup thrown from a moving car can be a deadly weapon – and on the March 31 episode, Kari Byron returns to MYTHBUSTERS from maternity leave! The Emmy®-nominated MYTHBUSTERS, which initially launched in 2003, continues to inspire and engage its audience of young and old, geeks and hipsters, science lovers and lovers of explosions. By tackling advanced science concepts in an innovative way that promotes the spirit of curiosity and experimentation, MYTHBUSTERS aims to uncover the truth behind popular myths and legends by mixing scientific method with gleeful inquisitiveness and plain old-fashioned ingenuity to create a signature style of experimentation. The March 24 premiere episode takes on Hollywood and real-life. Adam and Jamie talk trash and crash when they test whether a Styrofoam cup full of soda can be a lethal projectile when thrown from a car at high speeds. Does the cup penetrate the windshield of an oncoming car and seriously injure the driver? Jamie and Adam build a number of soda shooting cannons to see how deadly this myth really is, including a never-before-seen shoulder mounted cannon courtesy of Jamie.
