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.

    "Not renewed for another season" is the same thing as "canceled". There are plenty of shows that don't get renewed for a new season despite ending on cliffhangers and having many unresolved plot threads - Stargate Universe, the original run of Heroes, off the top of my head - they were very much canceled because they didn't get a proper ending and were expecting another year to tie up plot threads.
