Discovery Channel has a lot more to offer than just documentaries these days as the daily viewers might now, but which show do you consider to be your favorite? Myself I like mythbusters, braniacs and Ray Mear's a lot. If I'd have to pick my favorite I'd probably say mythbusters, Jamie and Adam just are so cool with how they go about putting the most weird myths to the test :).

Mythbusters is the only show I watch on Discovery these days. It used to be one of my favorite channels, but I went off them a bit when they started putting on a lot of pseudo-scientific shows on topics like the "Fake" moon landing, alien abductions and crop circles. I guess these shows bring in the viewers, but it's frustrating to see an educational channel perpetuating urban legends rather than disproving them. It's good to know there are some other good shows on it. I might check them out.

Definitely Mythbusters. They're very scientific and funny all the way.

I think my favorite show is Beyond 2000 coz I'm so interested in gadgets and new technology. Sadly, I haven't been able to catch that show and I don't even know if it's still being aired. I also like the one where they solve crimes...I forgot the title but I like that show because it reminds me of CSI and I'm just a big fan of CSI.

Mythbusters is my eldest son's favorite. He is 10, and never ever misses an episode. I do like it too. I also like Dirty Jobs and the others you mentioned. My favorite though would have to be Deadliest Catch. I am very happy we have this channel as my kids are watching these learning programs instead of cartoons vegging out their brains. My youngest likes Animal Planet and the Top Ten show.

Hm, I don't watch alot on Discovery channel, but my hubby likes mythbusters, and I actually think it's ok too so i'd go with that. My kids like to watch discovery kids, they like trading spaces boys vs girls, lol so that would be their favorite.

My fav is Extreme Engineering as I am a mechanical engineer with lots of interest about the biggest engineering works of our times. It's like watching a show about the pyramids while they were being built.

I like how it's made, I love to see how they actually make every day stuff. Another of my favorite shows is Orange County Choppers, I can always enjoy when Paul senior and junior are having another argument
