Mythbusters - WTH man? No Tori, Grant, or Kari?

"All good things"... It could be worse, Discovery could be canceling the show entirely. 
After radio silence all through the weekend I saw Adam and Discovery posting on twitter earlier this week although no one has addressed exactly what happened or why.
I'm sure we'll know more later, I don't expect Adam will address it anywhere except possibly on 'Still Untitled'. Like many behind the scene decisions in television as confused or hurt as we might feel it's not the productions responsibility to tell us (joe public) anything.
I do think they should have an hour long look back episode with NEW interviews and never seen footage to give the 3 hosts a chance to really say goodbye themselves to their fans.

I agree, the thing that got me the most is they weren't even there at the end of the episode. Seemed like a brushoff.
Indeed. 3/5 gets kicked out like they were never there in the first place.... sucks
:lol
Well, here is some news: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/09/05/mythbusters-kari-byron/
I wouldn't call that news. I'd call that "meh, so what?"
I agree it's not much, it's still weird that no reasons for the change have been given other than what was said at the end of the show. I was encouraged to hear Discovery was interested in possibly Tory, Grant or Kari being in another show in the future.

Who knows what actually goes on behind the scenes?
And now any spinoff that might get announced is going to look like it's a response to the fan outcry and not having been in the works all along or something. Which could end up being the case, but even if it was planned all along, it won't look like it was.

I think it would be in their best interest to keep them together, and maintain that dynamic on a new show. Perhaps not a spinoff as such, but something doing practical work, rather than just hosting something.
If they can find a good new home for them, I think it could work out best for both camps.
"Damned if you do; damned if you don't."
All of this happened while Adam and Jamie were in Australia on tour, but today there was a new 'Still Untitled' video posted on Tested.com and Adam is back.
I was disappointed that absolutely no mention of the Mythbusters format change was made in the video. Even if Discovery doesn't want any of the cast/crew talking about there must have been something that could have been said in a way to not get anyone in trouble with the network.
It almost seems like the plan is for no one to say anything at all and hope the fans forget about it and move on and the whole thing just disappears, which would be a huge shaft to the fans of the show. I guess in time we'll eventually learn something and can have some closure.

It will be titled Alaskan Swamp Mythbusters with boobs where "bust" goes to cash in on the porn star pun show craze. Pawn Stars, Pond Stars, Hardcore Pawn, etc.
