A big thumbs down to Discovery and Myth Busters

They are dropping Kari, Tory, and Grant! Apparently they want the show to only feature Jamie and Adam! Got this from a petition request forwarded by Care 2 action, who is involved because they said Kari helps to inspire young girls to get involved in science.

I like Jamie and Adam just fine but I think the other three add a lot to the show's success as well!

Never cared for Tory or Kari. Could do without Grant. chrisa Sep 2014 #5
Jamie is great Liberalynn Sep 2014 #8
Jamie and Adam probably wanted more money so they cut the others. SOP nt TeamPooka Sep 2014 #6

I doubt if I'll watch it much anymore. With 2 or 3 things going on at the same time,... BlueJazz Sep 2014 #7

But its hardly a big thumbs down to anyone. The nature of the business is change. Shows end and shows change. Kari has her own show which is doing well. Grant honestly was way over-qualified for this, but he enjoyed doing it. Tory brought him out of his effects work to do the show. He is an effects guru and actor. He will be continuing his star trek love with a new fan created series and he is heading the visual efects on it. He is a busy guy. This show just doesn't make the money needed to support the cast and the projects. I understand the decision. I will keep watching, I just wish 10 million more people watched too.

but I will miss them. What is the name of Kari's other show? I hope Grant gets a new series too like maybe on the Science channel.

Guessing I'm the odd one out, I've always liked Jamie the best.
