After 14 years, not really that surprising, but sad none the less.
Sounds like they have something really big planned.
Tweet from Adam Savage about an hour ago:
"It’s true. This incredible adventure is coming to an end. Filming now. More later."

I was just checking in on TV.com to see if some of the shows I'm following had aired yet and I caught a glimpse of an article saying "Discovery cancels MythBusters after 14 seasons" and I was like, "PHWHAT?!?!?! That can't possibly be true!!!" But sure enough... I followed the link to the same article rmc has linked to and there it was, interviews with Adam and Jamie, dates for the final run and all...
It's gonna be really sad to watch that final season, but I'm glad Disco at least gave them the chance to do a proper farewell. As Adam says in the interview, that's actually quite rare, so a lot of respect for the execs at Disco for doing that and not just announcing that the show won't be coming back next season and that's all she wrote.
Can't help but wonder where that'll leave this board, though... I love coming here and discussing all sorts of stuff with you guys, so I'm hoping it won't die with the show.

I just read the cnet article: www.cnet.com/news/mythbusters-ending-in-2016/It feels like we're losing family. Hopefully, we as a group will stay together even after the last show has aired. Mythbusters brought us together, our spirits and our kinship keep us together... |

Here's hoping that someone competent can step up to fill the void.

well, I guess we won't be worrying about grooming ideas for the show...
and to be honest, thay have been digging deeper and deeper for show ideas - best to quit before hitting the bottom of the barrel.

It probably won't happen but it would be cool to have Tory, Kari and Grant for one last episode.
EDIT: I'm glad Discovery is giving them one last year and in a way I'm glad because I wasn't all that excited about the episodes this season and part of last.

I will truly miss the show a lot. I have a feeling that I will actually cry when the final episode airs. This show is truly my favorite. As for this board, I'm planning on sticking around. |

I hope that we all stick around.
But it is a real shame that the the show is coming to an end?

i think all of us "regulars" will stick around anyway.
Sadly it seems that is about the last show on discovery that wasn't reruns worth watching.
Placing my bets on that it will be replaced with cheap and silly "reality" crap, good stuff with actual science doesn't "sell"

I have no doubt that the board will will last, although it may take on a different tone knowing that 'myths' we post will never really be tested anymore. It's a sad day for sure, but I look forward to the upcoming season.

A note on how this board can effect us:
I was visiting a new Liquor "Superstore" in my area yesterday. As I was browsing the three aisles (x 50 yards each) of whiskey whisky, there was one bottle that immediately caught my eye: Sheep Dip. Thanks SD!

it was mentioned in the interviews cited in the first article posted, although at the time of the interviews they were not ready to give any details, yet. |
