    Mythbusters is one of my favorite series of all time, but for the love of God, please don’t revive it

      Jman prob wouldn’t come back anyway.

      Savage has a YouTube channel if anyone is feeling nostalgic. He takes questions about making and mythbusters. Sometimes it’s fun to hear him reminisce. I personally like his new builds more than when he’s looking back into the past.

        I don’t think any amount of money in the world could bring Jamie back to a revival.

        I believe Adam’s already said he’s no longer interested in filming television.

        Plus, Grant has since passed away, Kari is a big oil sell-out, and Tory has been floundering around on Amazon’s streaming service for a while now

          Yeah it’s been sad seeing some influential people go into really questionable areas. I think reddit shit a brick when Aubrey Plaza went shilling for milk producers of America.

          Terry Crews did a commercial for Amazon, right around the time that unionization was lifting off.

          I get that you got to eat but these people aren’t without choices.

          Hearing that about Kari is super disappointing. I thought she would go into something like joining an advocacy group to fight against climate change. Anything but shilling for oil

          Kari is a big oil sell-out,

          I watched the video and a behind the scenes how an off shore rig works isn’t much of a sell out. Showing the behind the scenes complexity of drilling makes solar even more appealing.

          Mythbusters regularly featured weapons but they weren’t shilling for the US Military Industrial Complex.
