Mythbusters is coming to an end
    #22425362 - 10/23/15 11:49 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

:feelsbadman:
Just read that this upcoming season will be their last.

It's probably one of my favorite shows to ever be on TV. Good mix of science, fun, and fucking shit up.

I remember watching it when it first came on and thinking how cool of a show it is, but there's no way it could possibly last more than a few years because there are only so many 'myths'. This was when they were doing mainly actual myths (Pop Rocks and soda, etc), but they figured out how to keep it alive by slightly altering the things they tested.

I see they do a live show and it's coming to Madison at the end of November. I'd really really love to go, but don't think I'd be able to afford it.

Anyhow, just wanted to share the news.

They were told prior to beginning filming of the season that this would be it, so they're gonna be able to send the show off how they want.. Instead of it just abruptly ending like most shows with no real finale.

Nah.. They found things to do still by changing some formats and testing TV shows and so forth and shit like that.

As a final myth they should tackle the myths surrounding the near death experience and take turns flatlining each other with defibrillator paddles.

I read a Q and A yesterday with both of them and apparently they're not "friends"..
That's not to say they don't get along, but they've never had a meal with just the two of them, etc..
I found that surprising.

I like the older guy, Hyneman. He THINKS before he acts, he may be grumpy but hes the reason they made it alive all those seasons.

I saw it was ending the other day and apparently Jamie and Adam pretty much hate each other :lol: I really had no idea. They basically said they just tolerate each other.

I haven't watched it in forever though. It's not interesting enough to me to be worth downloading and we don't have cable anymore. Last few seasons I watched of it, I really only did for Kari. She's a hot chick who loves shooting guns and making huge explosions. :yesnod:

I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

You may be interested in reading this then.
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/21/mythbusters-ending-interview

It's the article I've been referring to.

It gives some insight in to Jamie and how he conducts himself on the set....
It's relevant to your comment.

The link I posted above is probably what you read, too..

I don't think it ever said anything like that.. Just that they're not friends off the set.

He's grumpy like I said, but not an airhead like Adam Savage. Adam would drive me nuts too.

He just likes the building and science of it.. Adam likes to be on camera.
Jamie gets frustrated that he can't just do what he needs go do, but instead has to work around the filming aspect of the show.

Nope was different places, I don't remember the actual one I read, but it did not paint a pretty picture of their relationship. They constantly get annoyed with each other when debating how to go about testing something, they say one usually gives in because he realizes it's the better plan. It's a bit rockier than just not being friends or associating outside of the show. They basically just tolerate each other for the good of the show. There was some other bits from various quotes over the years in the article I read that I cannot recall at this time. Here's some though:

http://www.ibtimes.com/mythbusters-star-adam-savage-reveals-if-he-jamie-hyneman-are-friends-do-discovery-1763637

Quote:

Hyneman addressed this very question during an interview with Access Hollywood in March. He explained that they find themselves stepping on each other's toes more often than not. “We get on each other’s nerves and everything all the time, but whenever that happens, we say so and we deal with it and move on,” he explained. “There are times that we really dislike dealing with each other, but we make it work.”




Quote:

After Hyneman’s statement, fans shifted their attention to Savage, who recently responded to the rumor without hesitation. “It’s not something I mind talking about because I actually think there’s very useful information there. It is true that we’re not friends. We know as much or more about each other than even close friends do because we’ve been at the center of this show for the last 12 years,” Savage admitted during his interview with Entertainment Weekly. “That, again, is informed by a deep amount of respect.”

Savage continued to explain that he and Hyneman face difficulties, opportunities, challenges and conflicts daily. “We disagree about the small details every single day — on almost on every, single detail. But we don’t really disagree about the big stuff,” he revealed.




http://www.omgfacts.com/hollywood/12287/The-Mythbusters-don-t-like-each-other

Quote:

The biggest myth in the mythbusters series is that stars Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are actually friends. In fact, they both admit that there is a fair bit of tension between them. In their 20 year relationship, they have not so much as had dinner together.

“We seriously irritate each other and do not want to spend time together,” Hyneman says. “And yet we have a profound respect for the partnership. We’re like a couple of dogs with a rag. That conflict is an effective tool in teasing apart that problem we’re trying to solve. We can wrestle with a problem until something breaks free.”




EDIT: Oh! I remembered one of the things. One of them said flat out they aren't afraid to say they're annoyed by the other because they aren't worried about the other person's feelings on the matter. I don't remember which one said that.

Kind of mind blowing to find out they arnt even friends. I stopped paying attention to it a few years ago when I cut out the cable bill completely but they always seemed to get along well enough on set to be called friends.

No matter where you work or you work with, there will always be friction. What I never picked up on is just how deep it went. They do a good job of tolerating each other, it's hard to spot without being told what you're looking for in the first place. Adam's constant walrus jokes seem to make more sense now :lol:
