List of MythBusters episodes

MythBusters is a science entertainment TV program created and produced by Australia's Beyond Television Productions for the Discovery Channel.

There is no consistent system for organizing MythBusters episodes into seasons. The show did not follow a consistent calendar of on- and off-air periods for its first-aired episodes. The official MythBusters website at one point sorted episodes by calendar year, but as of 2024, sorts them into 19 seasons (with the first being the three pilots). When the series was released on DVD, some seasons followed calendar years while others did not. This list follows the calendar year as formerly posted on the Discovery website, and the only objective basis for breaking up "seasons".

Including Specials and the revival series, a total of 296 episodes of MythBusters have aired so far.
