Mythbusters...wait, WHAT!?

[legion]

Apparently this was the last season for Kari, Grant, and Tory. A Google search turned up exactly no articles about why.

Probably budget cuts. Its not exactly cheap to film in San Francisco. Looks like Kari is getting her own show as well.

For those looking for a source, check the Mythbusters twitter or Adam Savage's twitter. Both have goodbye and thank you messages posted 15 minutes ago. No other color.

obligatory pic of Kari looking adorable.

Post on Kari's twitter - show is taking a "new direction."

I've missed that show since I cut the cable... Netflix only has up to 2011.

All the myths are busted?

[onlycafe]

i hope it is not going to become another elimination style contest... or worse.

The show being cancelled will be the next myth they bust.

I lost interest in the show some time ago... seemed like the myths were getting more and more far fetched.

And every myth seemed to end with them packing explosives into whatever they were testing and blowing it up... not that there is anything wrong with that.

This.

They did have many good myths that they approached using the scientific method which was at least thought provoking...

However, their segment on a plane being able to take off when on a covenyor belt made a believer out of me!

Me thinks the "problem" may be ego related.

I think Grant, Tori and Kari, mostly Kari, had become more popular than Adam and Jamie.

Adam is at least fun and energetic, Jamie is just getting "old". No charisma or personality.

Kind of the way Pawn Stars will go, apparently Chumlee makes more money from being involved with the show than the rest of them do.

I think Grant, Tori and Kari, were all filler in the meatloaf.

Anyone remember The Secret Life of Machines.

I loved that show.

All the episodes are now online.

Adam and Jamie must have made stacks of money over the years.
............... I'm hoping they passed some of that along to the others.

That always changes things so maybe they're all looking for something new. Whatever ... Good luck to all of them.

I enjoyed most of the shows but the revisit ones could get tedious and pedantic.

[Schumi]

I loved the show the first two or three years, but lost interest after that. Part of the reason, actually, was all the other people other than Jamie or Adam. It got too hokey, the myths were too odd and the testing they did just downright idiotic sometimes. It got less and less scientific and more and more 'how can we just do some cool stuff'


I hear the new season is going back more towards the shows origins- Jamie and Adam doing smaller, more specific things.

Really, I could just watch a show where those two guys build things and talk about stuff they've done the entire episode.
