What’s Next for Mythbusters?

Linda Holmes for NPR:

[Co-host Adam] Savage tweeted this morning that the show is still in production, and that rumors that it was suspended are inaccurate. But that doesn’t mean everything is status quo, of course.

One question that will need attention is whether, after several seasons, the pressure to do bigger and cooler things is changing the equations about safety in spite of everyone’s best intentions, simply because of the scope.

I really hope the show stays on the air, but I wouldn’t mind it returning to its roots a little bit. I love explosions as much as the next guy, but sometimes, I think that’s all the people behind the show care about anymore.
