RIP Mythbusters

One more season.

'Mythbusters' to end with final season | EW.com

 

I assumed it had already been cancelled.

 

My DVR weeps with relief.

 

They are fun guys who make science interesting for my boys; on that I'll be forever indebted to them.

 

It was the beginning of the end when they canned Grant, Tory and Kari. I like Adam and Jamie and I think they're great as the lead cast members, but the other group just gave the show a little extra energy.

 

I was bummed when they dropped the B team.

 

I was bummed when they dropped Kari. Redhead nerd goddess of my dreams.

 

Don't all shows end with their final season?

 

I don't know when the last time I watched anything on Discovery. Used to be a staple with Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters, but then they cut half of the MBs, the captain died and DJ ended.

 

Whatever you want to say about Discovery, at least it hasn't strayed as far from its original idea as "The Learning Channel." What started out as a very educational channel started by the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare became the home of "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo" and other assorted trash. They're about "learning" now about as much as MTV is about "Music."

 

A & E - Which shows neither art nor entertainment
History - Where history is history
MTV - The M doesn't stand for music.

 

Mythbusters' scientific/technical batting average was somewhere around .500.
