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".]

actually, i think they proved more than a few movie stunts at least 'plausible' if not 'confirmed'...
the one in particular i recall, is that of our hero jumping off of a multi-story building and -relatively- safely landing on ground after whomping through 3-4 cloth awnings...
from their testing, appeared doable...
after googling: deemed 'plausible' even though buster busted up, because shock sensors didn't go to fatal levels... from indiana jones movie (well, and before that)
