Sad news from Variety today, the next season of Mythbusters will be the last.
"'Mythbusters' is — and will always be — an incredibly important part of Discovery's history," said Rich Ross, group president of Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Science Channel. "Adam and Jamie are enormous talents who have brought learning and science to the forefront of this network, and their legacy will continue to live on over at Science Channel. The 'Mythbusters' library will be moving over to Discovery's sister network in 2016, where I know audiences new and old alike will be able to experience and learn with Adam and Jamie and the rest of the 'Mythbusters' family."
I guess we'll just have to try it at home now.
[Ed: Headline updated, show was not "canceled".]

Wasn't that the whole point of the show? Showing the average person that "no, this cant happen and here's why" or "Maybe it can happen in ideal/controlled environment" or "yep, check it out, we just did that" in a fun way they can understand. Otherwise the average person would keep believing movies/TV and misinformation/pseudoscience posts on Facebook.
Myth Busters wasn't aimed at people with a knowledge of science. It was there to help educate the non-science oriented person. Me? I liked it. Though, some episodes left more to be desired and some were goofy. But you cant win em all.
