Seriously. This is STILL advertised on the TV Listings on Discovery.com. After watching for so long, I really feel like the victim of a bait and switch. The episode was mediocre, the treadmill should have been the grand finale.

Bah.

We have a 200 page thread in our forums about the PoaT mythbuster episode.

There were probably 1500-5000 people watching the episode tonight waiting to see the results, from our forum alone.

We had all types of bets going on whether or not the plane would take off.

We watched, watched some more, and watched as the closing credits rolled...

TV Guide said this episode would feature the PoaT.

We want PoaT. Please give us PoaT.

What happened tonight was a travesty. I've been waiting a week to see the *promised* airplane on a treadmill myth. Tonight rolls around and, nothing not even a blurb about it. I am very dissapointed in the mythbusters for misleading us all this time. Mad

btw, -OT-

This is absolute bull. I called EVERYONE I knew and told them that this was going to go down tonight and that we would have an answer to this after years of debate. Well guess what? We got screwed over. Good job Discovery, you just lost a LOT of frequent watchers by screwing us over like this. I hope it was worth it.

Ok, to all of you that are complaining and calling for the MB's heads, HEAR THIS!

This is not the first time it has happened. Think back to the grenade episode. DISCO PULLED IT, because they found fault with it. You can bet that the MB are not the ones that pulled the segment. So if you are going to complain, direct it to the ones responsible. But before doing so remember one thing. They still ended up showing the grenade episode at a later date. So shut up and quit your complaining.

The MB do not owe you anything. NOTHING AT ALL. So fricking deal with it, or shut the hell up!

If you are just one of the fans that are curious as to what happened, and are not being idiots then this post is not directed at you.

MM I am sorry, that the idiots are making life tough for you tonight. Maybe someday they will grow up a little bit.

Adam? Jamie? Dan?

Someone step up and tell us what happened tonight.

If it was left on the cutting room floor, can we get an answer as to why it was edited out?

If it was never going to be tested, can we get an answer as to why it was on the TV schedule?

Give us something.

I know there were massive threads all over the Internet waiting for this episode, and then they give us this crap?

Not only did they fail to deliver PoaT, they showed a mediocre episode.

For what? You have to pay for something to get a refund. Let me explain something to you, Disco makes its money from advertising, the MB sell the tapes to Disco, So in short, you do not rate anything other than a swift kick in the rear.
