Some of the sixth-season myths that Mythbusters will attempt to either prove or disprove will include whether keeping cell phones away from gas pumps is as prudent a decision as those little stickers at petrol stations across the country make it seem, and if man's best friend would actually explode if it ever found its way inside a microwave.
In addition, Mythbusters' 100th episode will air during the show's upcoming sixth season later in January.
Prior to its sixth-season premiere, Discovery Channel will air a Mythbusters marathon on Wednesday, December 26 from 9AM to 3AM ET/PT. In addition, the network will air another Mythbusters marathon on Monday, December 31 from 9AM to 3AM ET/PT.
Following its January 16 debut, Mythbusters will serve as a lead in for Smash Lab, a new reality series that will follow a team of engineers as they find revolutionary ways to apply everyday technology.
Discovery Channel will offer a "sneak peak" episode broadcast of Smash Lab on Wednesday, December 26 at 10PM ET/PT during the Mythbusters marathon.
