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".]

because only "scientists" can do science and think critically? no, as somebody else already said, them not being certified scientists is very much in their favor because it promotes the idea that anybody and everybody can think critically and do experiments to verify things for yourself. people are put off of science by Bill Nye the science guy because he's a geeky science nerd, non-scientists doing science is more likely to get the masses thinking and experimenting.

And not dismissing science as elitist.
