Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman on 'Mythbusters'Back in the late '80s and early '90s, budding science geeks everywhere plopped down in front of "MacGyver" on ABC, to watch resourceful secret agent Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) escape from bad guys, foil evil plots and basically save the world with a Swiss Army knife, duct tape and whatever happened to be lying around.

On Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, cable television's reigning science geeks, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of Discovery Channel's "Mythbusters," decide to put some of MacGyver's more creative escapes to the test, in the show's landmark 100th episode.

"It's a natural for us," says Savage. "It took a while for us to work out the various details with the original 'MacGyver' producers, but 'Mythbusters' and 'MacGyver' have always been two peas in a pod, at least philosophically."

"In a way," says Hyneman, "we're the real deal, where a lot of the stuff that 'MacGyver' did -- and that's what the myth is about -- maybe is not necessarily realistic."
