At The A.V. Club, we watch a lot of TV—but not every show is fit for the full, episode-by-episode TV Club treatment. But since we know you’d like the chance to chat about shows we don’t cover, we offer these open threads as a place to discuss shows that aren’t in the regular TV Club rotation or are otherwise off our radar. Use this space for all your usual commenting shenanigans, and we’ll drop in if we have something to say.

“Drain Disaster”: Our hilarious new nickname for Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage’s facial hair, in addition to an episode where the MythBusters show they ain’t afraid of no myths (That’s them, right? Bustin’ make them feel good?) by testing whether a methane explosion in a sewer would lead to flying manholes.
