I've really been enjoying the new 'MythBusters Jr', Adam Savage's new science exploration show featuring… kids. Really smart awesome talented kids.
Adam Savage will be Tweeting live during tonight's two premiere episodes, and they start airing an hour early (at 8 pm ET) for parents with wee ones.
Watch it on Science Channel through your cable/satellite provider, or SCIGO, their online streaming service.
I'll be Tweeting LIVE tonight — including some BTS photos — during our TWO premieres of #MythBustersJr on @ScienceChannel! Tune in this evening at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET! pic.twitter.com/hJBHBJQPgO

One of the episodes tonight is 'Demolition Dominoes.'
BELOW: Here's an app for the episode, and a video clip preview:
Can a single domino start a chain reaction that can crush a CAR? And is it possible to remove the solitary bottom block from a late-game Jenga tower without toppling it? Find out on #MythBustersJr: Demolition Dominos, premiering Wednesday at 8p on @ScienceChannel. pic.twitter.com/BueR1BreEv

Here's another show scene, with Adam helping his co-host Elijah test his concept of using bungee to remove the last Jenga piece.
Can you remove the the solitary bottom block from a late-game Jenga tower without toppling it? As his co-hosts build different devices to test this myth, @donttrythis checks in on @NotABombBunkE. #MythBustersJr: Demolition Dominoes premieres Wednesday at 8p on @ScienceChannel. pic.twitter.com/IuncMph2gI

The other premiere episode tonight is 'Gravity Defying Carl,' which looks excellent.
Can a car defy gravity? And can a standard pencil draw a line that's 35 miles long before wearing down to a stub? Find out on #MythBustersJr this Wednesday at 8p on @ScienceChannel. pic.twitter.com/jNCBTUQnv0

Here's a scale test with bowling balls.
Before scaling up to a full-size car, @jesse_lawlesss, @RobotMakerGirl and Cannan see whether they can make a bowling ball hover before gravity takes over. Don't miss the BIG test on #MythBustersJr, premiering TOMORROW (Wednesday, Jan. 23) on @ScienceChannel. pic.twitter.com/dryZ8lJbhH

Also, for the experiment of how far a pencil can draw, this app below lets you guess how many pencils it would take to draw a line between two famous landmarks.
If you miss the 8 pm ET showing tonight, it re-airs at 11 pm ET/8 pm PT, as well as Saturday at 11 am on Discovery Channel.
