Myth busters calling it quits.

[Bigtanker]

Just read that this will be the last season of Mythbusters. Sad to see it go. I was a great show.

It's time.

When they ran off "the kids" if figured they were doomed.

Agreed, they jumped the Shark when they fired the redhead chick....

This last season didn't do much more me. Since they got rid of Grant, Kari and Tory the show hasn't been as entertaining. I'll miss it. Especially the blowing up!!

I thought it went off the air when they got rid of that redhead.

 

[HoughMade]

Every show has a life cycle. It was a good show.

 

[eldirector]

Been a great ride. It has been getting a little "thin" on the myths. I recall Savage and Hyneman commenting that they didn't think it would last more than a season or two.

I do miss Kari

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

There is only so much they can put to the test... They have had a good run, while I enjoyed it I'm not all that concerned about it. When I start thinking of shows I was sad to see go I think of Top Gear. I was very sad to see that go!

It will be back in March, on Amazon Prime.

Personally, I miss BattleBots. And Junk Yard Wars.

And since no one else has done so, I present: Kari Byron...

I'll be sad to see it all end, but I agree that they had a great run. Longer than I ever expected.

It was a classy move by Discovery to give them a final season to go out on. Most shows just get cancelled and poof... they disappear.

I hadn't watched that in years. It was a good show, and yeah, I had a Kari crush too. That format where they'd star on one story, midway jump to another, then something else, then back absolutely drove me to distraction. Pretty decent show compared to a lot of the crap that's on now.

My 8 year old son will be very disappointed.

it might have been a financial move, too. when a popular show has enough episodes for rerun syndication, it pays to add a few more episodes.

I don't remember which show, but I read that one show had its last few episodes fully funded by the producers, just so they could reach a magic syndication number.
(might be 100 episodes?)

There is only one post that I remember seeing in this thread.

This one's my favorite, by far.

They blew by 100 episodes years ago.
