No more Build Team on Mythbusters.

Today was (apparently) the last episode of the 2014 season for MB, and at the end Adam announced that Tory, Grant and Kari will not be returning next year. This is not good news for the show, and I'm really thinking Discovery is planning on canceling Mythbusters next season.

Bye guys, it was fun while it lasted.

Is that show even good anymore? I feel like Mythbusters hasn't been worth watching since the mid-2000s.

Aw what? Shit, that's not good. Now who's going to do all the side myths?

I kind of feel like it's run it's course.

Still terribly sad, though... I grew up watching Mythbusters religiously.

Boo :( I thought Adam and Jamie would retire and the build team would run the show permanently

It's like Top Gear losing its presenters. No point anymore. :(

Yeah I am wondering what is going on as well... Hopefully they will be back but yeah I am not sure.

Plot twist: Kari, Grant, and Tori are taking over as the Top Gear presenters.

The reactions to this have really thrown me. I don't dislike the Kari-Grant-Tory team, but I've never loved them like I do Jamie and Adam. They're the original Mythbusters team, the true Mythbusters if you will. Maybe it's just that I'm one of the few who was watching in the early days. All this time, I thought that everyone else had the same opinion.

Yeah, they got kind of annoying with the "OH LOOK AT THIS GURL WHO CAN DO THINGS". Made it uncomfortable to watch.

Kinja'd!!!

Top gear USA will be all about blowing stuff up, crazy indeed.

That would actually have been a smart move if this happened early on, since the three have a well-established chemistry. That's what the US presenters were missing in the beginning, and it was way too forced to be any good.

I see what you did there

I've been watching since the beginning too, and I do like Jamie and Adam, but the Build Team just have better chemistry together.

Instead of dropping a piano on a Morris Marina, every TGUS episode will end with a Chevy Aveo getting blown up in a new and spectacular fashion, because 'Murica!

I strongly disagree with that statement.

they should do that as a running joke, like TGUK does with caravan trailers.

If the show has run its course and it's ending, that's an inevitability. It's better to leave while it's still good (if in decline) than to drag it out in a painful exercise of self-parody and pathetic stunts.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was always a Scottie Chapman fan. I missed her presence on the show more than I'll miss the departure of the Build Team.

I prefer watchign them over the two main guys to be honest. Wonder if this means they are getting a spinoff

user314 > MonkeePuzzle

Both Kari and Grant's tweets both mention a "new adventure", so some people are speculating, but I don't think they're being literal.

MonkeePuzzle > user314

they'll be on TV me thinks, their fame isn't for some dumb sex tape or for having gangster parents, so I think we'll see them around.

I would have absolutely no problem with that.

Sadly, I can't remember the last time i tuned into the Discovery Channel. Not much discovery anymore...

I can't believe people want to see them on their own show. I fast forward through every bit of the build team talking.

To me the real star of the show is the voiceover guy. He's the only irreplaceable one.
