    Its a shame Mythbusters went from cool science and lots of engineering with a small amount of reality TV to mostly reality TV, some engineering(but only if main story) and very little science. One of the most obvious transformation of media due to capitalism I can think of. Even though Adam already talked about the RFID drama it was still not as bad back then.

    At least you can still watch Adam’s solo YT it is decent.

      I knew something became fishy when half the myths became about making huge explosions in the desert

      The breaking bad episode is really good though and that’s in a later season. They even rig up an automatic machine gun turret like Walt had. It worked exactly as depicted in Breaking Bad, and even shot the Walt mannequin by accident.
