Called "the best science show on television," hosts Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara aim to uncover the truth behind popular myths and legends by utilizing thri own signature style of experimentation that mixes scientific method with gleeful curiosity and plain old-fashioned ingenuity.

In the second season the crew enters summer, enduring scorching heat while battling new challenges ranging from increasing pressure to cut and haul more timber, to dividing the team to log multiple tracts. As they face extreme weather, personnel issues, mechanical breakdowns and the constant push to grow the business during a time of economic uncertainty, the crew of Goodson's All-Terrain Logging works together to maintain their reputation of being the best swamp loggers around.

STORM CHASERS - Returning Wednesdays at 10 PM Beginning October 13th

Television's most electrifying hour returns with bigger storms and higher stakes.

This season, viewers witness how the courageous STORM CHASERS used science to save lives last spring, which was one of the most violent storm seasons on record. Extreme meteorologist Reed Timmer reunites with chasing partner Joel Taylor in their armored chase vehicle "The Dominator" for the exciting fourth season, premiering Wednesday, October 13th at 10 PM.

This season the brothers head to Gettysburg, the site of Brad's first paranormal experience that sparked his and his brother's interest in investigating these phenomena. They also travel to New England where they call in a prosecutor to help uncover who may have really killed Lizzie Borden's parents.
