In Australia there's two versions. One on (government funded) SBS which as far as I'm aware is untouched from the American version. The DJ sounding guy. That's the one I watch since it was the first and has the most recent episodes.

On fully commercial 7 they run parts of a show as a segment of another show (can't remember the name) and the replace the voice over/narrator guy with an Australian.

Mythbusters is by Beyond Productions which is an Australian company anyway smile

Yeah the 7 version is tied up with another Beyond production.

They have a few Aussies in the crew I know. For an Aussie the accent stands out on the few occasions they say something. I guess making it a fully Australian show wouldn't quite have worked.
