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

 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 saw it was ending the other day and apparently Jamie and Adam pretty much hate each other 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.

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 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

Truth be told, it's hard to imagine they dislike each other that much. That's why I started digging around when it got brought up somewhere else. There are a lot of little quotes here and there that give a pretty good picture of their feelings towards each other. Though I guess it's easy to look like you work well together when you can edit out and reshoot stuff before anyone can see it. If we were just watching them on stage every week, it'd probably be a lot easier to see.

I forgot to reply to the 2nd half of your post. Kari...  Man, she is beautiful. Not in the typical "bombshell" sense, but definitely seems like the kind of woman to be proud to have as your partner. I think she did some racy photo shoot at one point. Brb,gotta Google some things.

She did, but I didn't like it much. They really didn't do her any justice. Actually her hottest pictures are when she's not even trying to be hot. Messy hair, minimal make up, maybe a little dirty from whatever it is they're doing.. She's gorgeous.


11/10. Would not hesitate for a second to bang.

good working duo. they're two opposites that pushed eachother and collectively that probably made the show better...more focused on getting the details absolutely right. it shows they care that they can respect and get along great on camera, and still not be friends in the slightest and can even admit to eachother irritating one another.
shows their committed to a great show. it shall be missed.

Hyneman and my dad would very likely enjoy working together, both have that pragmatic oldfashioned engineer mentality and they'd give each other space.
He thinks Adam Savage is a too.

thank fuck they went full retard after the second season. I mean when the show started and i was like 12 it was cool n i was excited they would test all cool myths n shit. but nooo they had to test the dmbest most obvious thing ever to prove a 3rd grade science priciple i mean fuck they dont even fucking use the scientific method half the time. Oh yeh because we tried it once and the thing didnt float in our shitty tank prop MYTH BUSTED. I always had a huge boner for kari but then i realized shes prop fugly not all dolled up off camera and shes really fucking dumb and annoying sooo would not bang. Get em off the air and use im sure whatever fucking millions of dollars these fucks make to develope a new actually entertaining show which im sure you fucking wont fucking stupid ass discovery channel retardify america cuz it makes more money bullshit.

Part of it going downhill is the added mythbusters and them giving in to popular demand. They watered down the formula to appeal to a wider audience.
In my view Grant Imahara was the only added mythbuster who had more than a sidekick role.

yeh i mean they al added interesting dynamics but im sure non of those people did anything at all. 98% of the show was the interns which is why its so genious. Adam would show up after having jus eaten a fufu san francisco breakfast maybe wearing a scarf and a fedora complain about stuff to the interns that have been there since 3am moldin a dead pig into ballistics gel. he only has to see jaime for ten miuntes while they shoot on scene and then back to the trailer to collect the checks. unbelivible.

I didnt like when they decided to "mythbust" Jaws. What kind of joyless asshole watches a movie like that and decides to categorically breakdown the scenes for feasibility? That's not what movies are made for. After watching part of that episode was the first time I hoped those two guys would kill themselves.

I'm sure it wasn't the idea of Adam and Jamie, but rather the higher ups, but yeah, I could see how that'd annoy ya.
A lot of times with shit like that, they just test minor details that take place in the film.

I never got into mythbusters, but this is also the last season of Prospectors on the weather channel. I only watch the gold rush, Yukon gold, survivor, and prospectors shows. At least my dog has a good shot at popping up in the show. They're making a bad decision because next year I'm gonna find the nicest pocket ever found! It's ridiculous though how many people go up to the mountain. Some days we'd come down the mountain covered in mud and there'd be fans of the show with cameras and their proudly owned t-shirts giving us thumbs up, taking pics, and generally looking very envious of what we do and we aren't even on the show!

They should myth bust Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino is a self loathing movie nerd who would probably be very annoyed by that. Also, I'd like to see them force one of their interns to take a shot of adrenaline to the heart.
I keep meaning to watch that show about "seng" but never do. I tried duck dynasty but it sucked.

And here I thought being a joyless asshole is a person who wishes others would kill themselves because they don't like an episode of a TV show they did.

The Jaws episode (along with a ton of others in later seasons) came about due to their "fan site" asking them to tackle the 'myths' from the movie. At least, that's what they say when they're opening the show.
I've never actually sought out that site to see what goes on there, but I tend to believe it exists. So, perhaps Adam and Jamie aren't to blame 100% on that.
Plus, it's gotta be difficult coming up with new shit to do with that format.
