DarkKirby2500 10/31/18 4:32:27 PM #14:	It was good when they still had interesting Myths to test. Near the end it was clear they were kind of out of ideas.

DPsx7 10/31/18 4:53:12 PM #15:	The experiments were viewer requested so I'm sure some weak choices crept through. It wasn't canceled, as far as I knew it was one of their biggest shows. The hosts just had enough after so many years and I guess I can't blame them. Back to what I was saying before the reboot had potential. The new hosts were stiff at first then relaxed after a few eps. They certainly weren't going to be as animated as the previous crew. You wonder if they didn't want to continue, if the ideas dried up, or if Disc is just holding onto the show until there's a break in the schedule.

Chewster 10/31/18 6:52:35 PM #16:	I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I thought it started going downhill around the time they started adding people besides Adam and Jamie. To be fair I don't think it was entirely their fault, but they didn't add anything to the show for me. I mean in theory with more people you'd think they could do more but it seemed like the show went from having three myths per episode on average to only two. And they just started running out of good myths around that time. It was cool to see some unverified or mis-told urban legend, but the movie myths and shit were dumb. It's usually either something that's obviously fake because it was in a movie, or it's verifiable but you probably could have learned that by just finding out how the actual movie set it up. After a while I felt like it was more about just putting on a spectacle than actually testing myths. <cite>Chewster posted [p:911542651] in Was Mythbu...
