Too bad. I guess it had to go off the air eventually, but I always liked it, even when it was propagandizing (Throws Like A Girl) or just wrong (Airplane on a Conveyor Belt).
quote:

Discovery’s long-running show “Mythbusters” will end after the next season, Variety has confirmed.

The series was created by Peter Rees and stars Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. Using elements of the scientific method, it has tested theories and pop culture phenomenons as varied as whether a person could be sucked down by quicksand to the likelihood of Walter White’s “Breaking Bad” stunts actually working.

It's not the same without the sidekicks.

The thing about their show is once you proclaim that line SnapBack is a myth...your credibility is shot just having to "test" it is absurd

I have an experiment, let's have them go stand around mooring lines, and have another boat drag across the taught lines in the water...

I always wanted to believe that off screen Adam and Jamie were close friends and that their friendship would keep the show alive for a while longer.. When I found out years ago that they aren't I was surprised for some reason. While their relationship is good, it didn't go outside of the show.. I don't know why this bothered me but it made me realize the show could go away at anytime with their differing personalities.. With the recent format change, I was worried but they've had some of the better episodes in recent years.

I loved the show, but I thought it was much better before they added the sidekicks. Maybe they just had better myths to test, but the best parts were always with Adam and Jamie.

Figured this was coming after firing the sidekicks to "return to their roots" and lower budget overhead.
