"Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity with ABC's John Stossel" is an attempt to find the truth behind some very common beliefs.

The one-hour special "Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity with ABC's John Stossel" will answer those questions and more. "Back to School - The ABC News/Court TV Safety Challenge 2004," hosted by ABC News Senior Legal Correspondent Cynthia McFadden, looks at the back-to-school season and how to make it safe.
