Dear newsletter subscribers,

Greetings and good evening! After a July that brought us more than 100 premieres of new seasons or new reality shows, never mind the ongoing summer Olympics, August arrives with more than 70 shows scheduled so far, and plenty more to be added to our summer reality TV premiere list.

One of the Mythbusters is back with a new series: Tory Belleci joins mechanic Faye Hadley and race car driver Bisi Ezerioha as they test car-related myths on Motor Mythbusters (MotorTrend, Wednesdays).

By the way, if you haven't already looked at what's up for bid in the first-ever Mythbusters prop auction, there are some great pieces of TV history—and it all benefits a great cause.
