Plausible Or Confirmed: 'MythBusters' Set To End After 14 Seasons

MythBusters, the TV show set on disproving or proving popular science claims, is hanging up the lab equipment.

The announcement was confirmed in a Twitter video featuring hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, and marks the end of an era for the wacky science show that often ended with something getting blown up (or not).

The show’s 14th season, set to air in January on Discovery, will be its last.

“We’re executive producers on the show and have been for a while,” Hyneman told Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive interview breaking the news. “So we were part of that decision. We felt like we’ve had really strong material for the whole run. It’s been 14 years, and it’s just time. We want to go out on a strong point.”

The “myths” were rated either “busted,” “plausible” or “confirmed.”

And, yeah, something usually ended up getting blown up regardless:

The show was also a way to get casual observers interested in science.

“When people say, ‘I’m a physics teacher and your show has helped me do my job,’ or, ‘I have a kid with ADHD and he really responds to the show,’ every time I hear one of those things it moves me and humbles me,” Savage told EW. “We were even scientists when we started. Making this show has fundamentally changed the way I think and act in the world.”

The show has run since 2003, with Hyneman and Savage testing out myths alongside a rotating cast of co-stars like Grant Imahara and Kari Byron.

In January 2016, its 14th and final season will begin.
