The thumbnail featuring Jamie when hes not in the video is annoying

You guys were so important to so many people’s childhood and education journey. I mean MB is the reason I’m an engineer today.

The very first episode has a segment of Jamie calling the Air Force to try to get a JATO rocket, and having to explain who he was, and why he wanted it, before getting a resounding “No!”

On that idea of "Mythbusters for the impatient", my one discomfort with the show was the constant recapping of each sub-story's progress within the episode. I would have loved a version of the show without the recaps, for it to have treated us as if we have a working memory and just jumped directly between the myths and straight back into it after ad breaks. It was something that never got better for the whole run of the show and it tried my patience. :)

I always remember one closing blueprint room scene where Karry, Tori and Grant throw their scripts onto the table. Their faces just screamed "finally we're free!". Is it safe to say that was the last scene filmed on one of those 8 hour filming days?
@laurencechase5439
I think the reason Mythbusters for the impatient is popular is because it unamericalised the way the show was presented. There's nothing wrong with the journey of how you reached a conclusion, or the best method to get to a result, that's the best bit and I think modern younger audiences are totally up for watching that (see how long some UKposts content can be and still get millions of views?!) but when you have to sit through the "ad break" and watch ANOTHER summary of what you missed before the ad break, it gets tedious when binge watching.

I can absolutely picture Adam being told to send less footage, hanging up the phone, turning to Jamie and saying "We're absolutely not doing that" Jamie agreeing and them both laughing.

While I hadn't heard of "Mythbursters for the Impatient", I did encounter some fan edits once of all the episodes, but without the intro sequence, any post-commercial recaps, or any redundant footage. It varied from episode to episode, but it streamlined each episode as if it were on a streaming service rather than broadcast television with commercials, and it was great to watch.

Mythbusters will forever be a staple of my education history. The whole team and crew made the scientific method come ALIVE and showed me the possibilities of not just learning about the world... But building it 😊💙 thank you
@New_user-hm4ug
I loved mithbusters as a child, you basically changed the path of my childhood. Thank you for what you’ve done and what you will do, I love you all in all. No matter what you do.
@samsthemank
I think Dan missed the point for the "shortened" Mythbusters clips. As the show went through the years, the footage started repeating A LOT. There were episodes where it FELT like a good 50% of the airtime was just recapping what was already shown. That's the main reason I'd watch the show on DVR and not live, so I could hit the skip button to the footage I hadn't seen yet.
@shermancater8125
Hearing about Mythbusters for the Impatient reminds me how I have often wished for a re-edit of the show without the repetitious recaps and sticking to one myth at a time instead of going back and forth. If Discovery (or Disney, now) could do an edit like that I would absolutely buy that DVD collection.
@marscaleb
That creative collaborative process you describe sounds so amazing! I have never been in an environment where everyone has been able to offer different ideas and everyone honestly considers them and looks for ways to improve what they are doing. That must have been such an incredible job to be able to work with such great people.

On shooting the 'blueprint' scene last: Similarly, I teach my students that you write the abstract of your paper last, because it is only then that you know what the paper really is.
@ChefSarah4104
I love these "behind the scenes" chats. More insight into one of my favorite shows ever.
@DynamixWarePro
I love these chats. It is great to hear what went on behind the scenes that we didn't know about. I learned so much growing up as a teenager watching the show from when it first aired until the final episodes and rewatching them at times. My favourite parts with the myths was the whole process of you guys figuring out how to test the myths and the various ways you would do that. Also seeing how different you and Jaimes ideas were sometimes.
@zackmarkham4240
Oh yeah my fave part of Mythbusters was ALWAYS the middle acts. The research, the small scale, the failures and rethinking, the personalities. SO GOOD! I watched it more for that than the pay-off, but HAD to watch the pay-off.
@christophermitchellsr9492
one of the many reasons why people love the show still yet today is the fact that you took on the challenge of dealing with myths an tall tales an movie physics in a fun science way .the myths dealing guns an other relatable every day things was so much fun to watch an along the way told a good story an taught people to think out side of the box an inspired people to ask an think . keep up the great work
@NachostheXth
The process of setting out a game plan for myths reminds me of how my history assignments often have to be completely restructured as my understanding of the events improves
