Myth busters was one of the shows that signaled the end honestly.
It was a good show but it was a signal that pure educational television no longer worked. Myth Busters was a quasi intellectual show but it rarely followed any scientific method other than “we tried it this way and will extrapolate all results from that”
Great show, lots of entertainment but it was definitely part of the “we need to be flashier and shinier and louder”
Plus all the filler. I love the Streamlined Mythbusters project, but it’s absurd how short some episodes get when cut down. Iirc there was one that was cut down to 11 minutes of actual content.
