Discovery announced "Mythbusters Cancelled!"

[A/V1]

2016 will be the last season...


One more channel to delete from the line-up. What the hell are they thinking??? Everyone's so busy changing their programming to mind numbing dumbing-down-of-America reality BS shows. I remember when TLC actually meant "Learning Channel" and had some decent shows. Even the History channel is sucking balls with stupid BS.

Apparently they want brain dead viewers.

:shrug:

I have watched the show from the beginning. I still do but it's getting pretty repetitive. I was not surprised when I read this.

Bring back Junkyard Wars and I'll be happy.

Man I hadn't thought about Junkyard Wars in years but you are right, that was an awesome show.

And I'm sad about Mythbusters. Yes it's repetitive but at least it's educational to some extent and you can apply the things you see to real world life unlike the other crap that's on. I pay a $125/mo for 750 channels and between my wife and I we only watch 5 shows. Big Bang Theory, NCIS, NCIS New Orleans, Fargo, and The Bastard Executioner. It would be freaking awesome if someone created a broadcasting service where you paid per channel and you could pick whatever channels you wanted. Not some package deal with 695 worthless crap channels and 5 decent ones.

^ That's called a la carte programming, and the big providers don't want to do it because they don't make any money that way.

I dropped DirectTV a couple years ago. I have everything I want between Netflix and Amazon Prime, and I get it when I want it on any device I want it with no commercials at 10% of an average monthly cable bill. Subscription TV is all trash these days anyway.

I tried that and I just got annoyed with having to search for what I wanted to watch and I could never find what I wanted to watch with my roku. I'll admit to being a channel flipper. Guess I should try harder because I've already got a prime membership I use for movies and I could certainly find better things to do with that $125/mo.

Her new show sucks however.

Wasn't aware she had a new show.

They're kind of out of things to do, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it has. I think they want it to end too. Plus, I don't think anyone likes Greg.

Her and Tory have a new show together. I think it is called Thrill Factor. They ride on thrill rides and test their bodies reactions. It is a very limited premise.
