Mythbusters ... Fade to Black

The guys at TV's Mythbusters - extrovert Adam Savage and introverted Jamie Hyneman  - have announced the upcoming 14th season will be their last. They have fired every weapon you can imagine and blown up more cars, trucks, buildings, and crash dummies than anyone not at war. It has been a wild ride, and fun.

In all candor, the show lost much of its punch when they cut loose the three kids who were the second shift: Grant, Kari, and Tory. Still, I suppose the show will soldier on in reruns, their archive contains some 248 episodes. 

Maybe it will be available on-demand as online TV. See a story about the show at The New York Times.
