Mythbusters Axes the Build Team - Kari, Tory and Grant are off the show - Logan Darklighter - 08-22-2014
"Star Trek is an amazing show, but next season, we've shaved off Scotty, Uhuru and Bones from the cast. It'll be all Kirk and Spock, all the time!"
Some decisions are pure fail.
Then there are THOSE decisions which are heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Fail.
I present, Your Failishess.

This seems to have been in the planning for a while, as a few queries about the (M7) build team were raised in the session of 'Behind the scenes' I was at and they were redirected to info that the main team has been slowly increasing the level of experienced in-house helpers. They also said that the next season of Mythbusters is going to be more cinematic in style.
That doesn't mean that they'll be left in the cold, Discovery's bound to have them host some other shows. Something bigger than Pumpkin chunkin' and special like: megashark. Return of Robotwars, perhaps?

The producers of the show have learned nothing from shows of the past: when you hit on a magical formula of cast, writing, and shooting style that proves extremely popular, DON'T SCREW WITH IT.
But then - this is Discovery after all. Dumbed down to the lowest possible common denominator on every single other show in their stable. Mythbusters was the only thing on that channel worth watching anymore. The suits there are genetically incapable of NOT screwing over good shows.
Ah well. It had a good long run of 11 seasons. Probably about time for them to wrap things up anyway. Just wish they'd be allowed to go out with dignity rather than the "Death of a Thousand Cuts" that Discovery is pulling on them.

Well, more cinematic probably means that they're using high end digital movie camera's and a pool of cinematographers to record and frame everything bar the stuff that'd better be done with one of the GoPro's from the 40 foot container load they have.

20 Minutes of Actor Reconstructions demonstrating the myths happening to poor unfortunates
10 minutes of showing why it was impossible.
Especially is things start following the standard American Educational Programming format of spending the first five minutes after each ad break recapping what's happened before, adding two minutes of new stuff, then spending the next five minutes before the next adbreak talking about what's going to happen after the next ad break.
So there's maybe 5-10 minutes worth of stuff in an hour long program.

Well, geeze, that sucks. And now I'm wondering just how much of a hit in the ratings this will cause...
And is it just me or does Kari look just fantastic in that one photo in the article?
