Adam Savage On Why Mythbusters Ended
so much for the feud rumors
Anyone have a link to the full talk?
It ended because of ratings and because they felt it was time. Which isn’t something that a lot of TV shows get the chance to do or say.
It shocks me that people didn’t simply get sick of all the filler.
I used to download the show for the five minutes of content, but even that became unbearable.

In a way it’s refreshing that Adam does all the videos with Tested now, because there’s essentially no time limits compared to being on cable. They can put out a 30 minute or hour long video on just one build and actually show all the detail.
What he didn’t say was that they ran out of ideas which is why ratings dropped.
So he wanted more money?
RFID
Who would.try blame Adam for removing Cary, Grant and Torrey? Obviously Discovery wanted to reduce costs and refocus the show on Adam and Jamie.
It was a myth that they could keep busting myths endlessly
I think the ratings dropped because the target audience were predominantly cord cutters, and the next generation of fans were already used to watching the condensed versions on youtube without all the fat.
I still want to know what happened with that cannonball. Seems like they proved a myth true.
Money.
But Discovery didn’t let the Mythbusters end. They did a whole series about finding the new Mythbusters called…. MythBusters: The Search. Which is kind of funny because they ended up picking Asian Adam and Bearded Jamie to replace them. Which they’re season is coming this fall.
Which I doubt that they will do well. Since, It seems they’re more focused on building stuff and explosions than actual myth busting. Then again, the later seasons of Mythbusters were like that too. Yet, which is what caused the decline in views. I think Discovery is gonna beat the living shit out of the show until it’s dead. I wish they could’ve just let the show die peacefully.
For anyone that hasn’t seen it before, Kari, Grant and Tory started their own Netflix series called the White Rabbit Project. Worth a watch.
since when does he have a lisp? I was watching a video of him the other day and he sounded completely normal
damn he is long winded.
Nothing gold can stay
The person responsible for getting rid of Tory, Grant, and Kari should have been sacked.
It ended because he wouldn’t accept less money. He probably was getting paid millions an episode…
Dude pretended to enjoy his job l guess
Was this recorded at a Brain Candy show?
Awwww that hits me right in the feels.
Douche wanted more money … Can’t blame him I guess but damn he’s not hard living
Why is this so upvoted? This isn’t an emotional or even interesting reason, it’s literally money and dropping ratings.
The show lost viewers because people were fed up with monotonous shitty filler broken only by advertisements. Also their pattern of introducing every experiment then showing the result at the very end got boring fast.
I wish Adam would do a series about making replica props from movies and tv shows.
In my opinion, Mythbusters went on for too long. They stopped doing myths after 2 or 3 seasons and switched to “Betcha this will blow up good!”.
I thought the cannonball incident was what made the executives pull the plug… How close to the last episode was that incident? Does anyone know?
