You could tell that dumb network people were putting weird constraints on them.ex: voiceover narration from some random in Tasmania or w/e.and other parts.but it is always going to be great for what it is.īut yeah.In our life there are many different legends, superstitions, Internet based rumors and other myths. I'm sure fans will remember the super-cool welder chick from, i'm guessing, seasons 2-5.she moved on and I figured the others would do the same, having a rotating cast of experts go in and out over the years.except for Kari.she seemed like a good foil for the guys.Īnyhow, Mythbusters was always better than it's show. Even the popularity of the show can't make more time in the 's just there was a maximum ammount they could physically contribute due to time constraints per episode. I always liked their segments.īut if we're analyzing production decisions, it seems that they should have tried to get their agent to get them more work, or maybe a spin off.their presence was never going to be more than bit parts.part timer gigs. They're great, and they added value to their presence over the years. So, when it comes to Kari, Byron, and Grant.I think they should have seen this coming a decade ago. i'm sure) and pick apart their production decisions. It's kind of in my nature to analyze a show (as it is w/ many on /. I'm a fan, for sure, but it seems that even casual fans like me can sort of see past the veneer of production. While you may question the "science" that was done on the show and find out that it is of little value to scientific literate people, they actually managed to reach a lot of the rest, perhaps got them curious and thinking about some of that rather mundane stuff. Therefore I think that Kari Byron did serve as a useful role model for people that deserve a role model, a women being successful doing geeky stuff while not being super boring.
MYTHBUSTERS SEASON 11 EPISODE 2 ADAM TV
Most likely it starts at home with their parents, TV shows that their parents watch and so on.
These things lead me to believe that the lack of women in the STEM fields is mostly a result of cultural stereotyping, which begins at an early age. Now I realize that this is clearly some sample bias, but combined with all the efforts universities take nowadays to encourage women to enter the STEM fields and their little success it made me curious. The female geek seemed to have an extra hard time in society because they performed in a field that was somehow attributed to boys and frowned upon by other girls of younger ages, making them social pariahs, because they weren't interested in most of that "girly" stuff, that simply every girl at that age had to be in head over heels. Most of those women were rather geeky and talking to some of them revealed for me that they didn't have it easy growing up with their particular hobbies.
MYTHBUSTERS SEASON 11 EPISODE 2 ADAM DOWNLOAD
Looking back at my time at the university there were very few female students. Download Srt Subtitles MythBusters, Season 10: MythBusters is back and Jamie, Adam, Kari, Tori and Grant are doing some of their craziest experiments yet. Minority group perhaps, but that doesn't mean that they don't deserve encouragement. Incidentally, there are fan edits of Mythbuster projects where they cut out the cruft. None the less, if they drop the build team and don't replace them with something equally heinous the show will be better off for it. In fact, I recall something where Adam was up on stage talking about Mythbusters production and pretty well said as much about one particular producer.
The producers are to blame for the state of the show. They seem like decent people and it was pretty clear that their excitement over the stupid shit was forced. Really, I don't have any issues with Kari, Grant, and Tory.
Hope that the audience says, "Better late than never." and comes back for another episode. Watch Kari, Grant, and Tori force out laughter and exclaim about how awesome that thing was when it exploded.Ĩ) Finally get around to finishing the interesting project. Standard episode breakdown:ġ) Teaser talking about something interesting, we'll call this "project one".Ģ) First steps towards building project one.ģ) Go to something completely different with the build team, which possibly has some tangential thematic ties to project one.Ĥ) First steps towards this second project, we'll call this "project blow-up-something-and-laugh-about-it".ĥ) Show some small scale models of project one, but don't go any further, just to hold the audience's interest.Ħ) Flip back and forth between the two groups, making sure to hint each time that the audience might actually learn something next time.ħ) Finish project blow-up-something-and-laugh-about-it. That's true, but it was always the build team (Kari, Grant, and Tory) doing that. It became too much blow shit up and other dumbed down shit. Haven't watched the show for a while now.
