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".]

Maybe that is supposed to be the spirit of it, but from that standpoint it was horribly executed, particularly in the later shows. They would design some sort of "experiment" and the "results" would be marginal one way or another. This was particularly true when they split the show and gave the other three their own "myth" to investigate. The spirit of building something and trying it out is there, but the process of drawing conclusions or data analysis was pretty shoddy.
