No way they would make that show today. I wonder if the airing of the last episode will be a point that future historians mark as special. That and the same month one of the Voyager proves started dying NASA announced it was studying UFOs.
Just a reminder that Ancient Aliens is on its 19th session with 240 episodes. You know just in case you wanted to spend the weekend not wondering if hospitals will be replaced with herbal medicine and laying on of hands.
What the hell happened to the proposed new series with an entirely different cast that they literally had a miniseries game show to find the talent for? They had the contest, found the new people and then just… Vanished.
No one watched and it didn’t have the same kind of chemistry. Mythbusters was a good TV show more than anyone thinks about. The cast made it happen. Along with the crew. Including the time of everyone else where the Internet was still relatively young in terms of proving myths wrong. Now there are many copies but none as popular. And regular TV is dead/dying. They had White Rabbit but Grant passed. Jamie has no interest in it. Kari is out doing things for scientific causes. Tori went back to movies. And Adam has a platform for cosplay on YouTube. I think the moment has passed.
I mean, I had heard she was getting paid to tweet about how great fracking was and how we don’t need to stop consuming oil but instead start geo engineering, but I don’t remember how long ago it was given the blur of time the last couple years have been and how much I’m remembering correctly
I agree with the chemistry of the cast and the synergy of the crew not ever likely to be the same, but I would still be down for the busting myths part and could forgo giving a shit about the actors lol. Half the gaming channels I watch are basically myth busters for various game franchises. They’re only missing the crucial part of “replicating the myth” when they fail to reproduce the myth as stated. Shit would be funny “we can’t reproduce this unless we use cheat programs.”
I don’t know. We are in a different space for consumption too. I hear what you are saying. I’m just not sure it would be successful. I would watch it too. It’s still one of my favorite shows.
If only we didnt need things we like to pass some bullshit benchmark of “success”. Just do it because you want to and if some people like its kinda nice.
Niche things are often how you find something amazing and often they arent what becomes well known.
Do most people know who Nirvana or Pearl Jam are? Yes. Do most people know who mother love bone is? No
But Kurt and Eddie spoke about mother love bone as a huge inspiration and gave credit for their own success

Isn’t Kari shilling for oil now?
Adam’s youtube channel is a gem though. He’s legitimately an inspiration
Is she? I follow her IG and it’s always NASA or science related
