You need to understand how obsessed with safety MythBusters was. When I worked with the original crew, we would do things like leave the building if someone was testing something as benign as a spud gun. I was never worried. Other shows are VERY different. You can see shows on cable today that look far more dangerous.

7:17 The reason why Australia had such long program times for MythBusters. Is because it was shown on SBS which is kinda like PBS in the US. & they have a policy against excessive advertising.

The narrator was as iconic as the cast. I was so happy you gave him love on a vid you did a while back.

As far as Mythbusters succeeding today (and I think I'm paraphrasing something Adam's given attention to in another one of these) it's not just the small crew that's moved to KZread but the idea behind Mythbusters of finding ways to test things out. Tod Cutler and some acquaintances made a longbow and armor as accurately as they could (making a point of what they didn't know and error bars) to test the Agincourt legends to see if they were even in the right ballpark. Steve Mould had an idea of how to make 2D liquid models and demonstrate how siphons and other unintuitive devices work, that just became his "thing" for a while because once you have the method and tools why not? Veritasium had Adam drop pennies on him out of a helicopter. And that's just the first few that come to mind. Some people are experts in their craft, some are playing around with a 3D printer and as astounded as the viewers that it worked. Sometimes it's their whole focus, sometimes it's just to illustrate one concept. Either way, the "this is what the math says, but let's see if we can get something we can point to" idea of Mythbusters is going strong.

The most dangerous thing on Mythbusters ever was the cannon ball that flew over the barrier and hit a few cars and houses in an unsuspecting neighborhood. That was dangerous, really dangerous.

I would watch two cool science guys talk about the coolest projects, theories, and with lots of action and hilarious moments that made me smile. Despite being horribly bullied when I was young, your show reminded me that when I grow up I’ll be free of my classmates nasty and toxic comments/behaviour. Your show also remind me there’s going to be freedom when I grow up, and I too can focus on creating something I’m super passioned about. Thank you so much for all amazing memories. Your show has left a tremendous amount of interest for me in sciences. Despite not finishing school because of the bullying trauma, I’m a better person today with an enormous passion and interest in science. 🙏♥️🌻🧙‍♀️

There's actually a lot of stuff on KZread that's definitely inspired by, or at least adjacent to, Mythbusters. Mark Rober, Smarter Every Day, The Slow Mo Guys, Colin Furze, and probably tons more that I don't know (but wouldn't mind hearing about). The spirit of Mythbusters is alive and well, it's just not going by the same name.

Given your estimation of when viewership dropped, I must apologize. I graduated HS in 2008, so 2009-2011 was college, and I stopped watching basically all TV at that point. It was all VHS, DVD, and video games at that point. No, kids, we couldn't stream yet. We pirated quite a bit though.

Not just Adam that moved online from Mythbusters. Mythbusters' success and the focus it drew helped to blow open a door that was just opening at that time. Adam was right, it rode a cultural moment and was lucky in that. But its success also built potential energy for something to follow it. It became (in a way) one of the early examples of a new 'genre' given fertile ground to grow by online resources. The online space now has TONNES of content creators who can take a renegade team and make things to test ideas, techniques, and tech. There are people making some outstanding replicas and stunningly beautiful original art. Sword makers, painters, glass blowers, designers, jewelers, mechanics, cosplayers. Makers and artists whose content and stories have become as much art as their products. People who can make the whole world their workspace, or show you an entire world on their workbench. We became the creators, and consume each others creations. That's fascinating. And I think Mythbusters was at least a seed in that.

The expression holds true, “ All good things must come to an end” No matter how good a show, person, animal or inanimate object it must come to an end.

Mythbusters was literally my favorite show when I was younger I watched every single episode multiple times :)

I loved watching Mythbusters as a kid with my dad and I love watching Tested as a adult man

there are fan re-edits of mythbusters around wink wink that make rewatches much more pleasant. No commercial bumpers, no summarizing for people who might have missed half an episode etc, none of that medium specific crud that was normative in 2003 but makes no sense in a home video or on-demand situation.

I'm proud to say that I watched Mythbusters from start to finish, real time, and I loved every second of it. You guys are awesome and I would LOVE to work with you. Meticulousness is one of my fortes. Especially, when it comes to the scientific method.

The popularity of Mythbusters probably declined as kids that grew up on Mythbusters moved out of their parent's house and didn't get cable (I am one of those kids). The decentralization of media distribution can greatly increases the viewership, but can hurt with raising funds for the actual production.

“The solution is to stop telling them” lololol It reminds me of soldiers at war, calling home. It never goes well when they start telling them about the horrors they’ve seen. Their loved ones at home just can’t relate to it, and it only increases their anxiety. Sometimes, it’s best to keep things to yourself or to a certain audience.

For quite a long time now, the most minutes of video shown on my TV are from KZread. So, it always amuses me when someone speaks about TV and KZread as if they are different things.

Anyone know the Mythbusters episode number where he pulled the tiny derringer out of the trunk and said 'this is a wrobbery'?

*i watch programs such as mythbusters and storm chasers for specific reasons and it's because i'm interested in the topics and keen to learn new things...i always turn the volume off during commercial breaks as most are just incredibly stupid or annoying...a new mythbuster's would be tricky to pull off at the same level but doable...perhaps a shorter season allowing for much larger budgets per episode...maybe a crowd funding variant where those contributing select which myths they want to see tackled*

I’m pretty sure it was the types of viewers watching MythBusters started cutting cable around 2011. When my family cut cable we had no official way to watch MythBusters other than dvd sets my parents wouldn’t buy. MythBusters format would likely do well on modern streaming, especially with the long gap in which new myths have come into existence.
