Mythbusters. For many of us, the show's 2016 grand finale marked the end of an era. The show made an impact on the enjoyment of science and experiments for people of all ages and all walks of life. The last episode of the TV series' 14-year run tugged at the heartstrings of many viewers. Having seen their live tour in Chicago and being an avid viewer of the show (props to Sci Channel's "Mythbusters" Holiday Mega-Marathon), I was definitely included among those feeling a sense of loss for the Dynamic Duo of Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage.

However, as "all good things must come to an end" - quoting Adam in their final season - I accepted the inevitable termination.

The search

These feelings were then totally uprooted upon Sci Channel's announcement of a new series - "Mythbusters: The Search." In my opinion, a rather rapid turnaround considering just a few months passed between the emotional final episode of the original series and this Reboot. Figuratively speaking, the body isn't even cold yet.

Be it as it may, the reality show seemed successful (viewing numbers matched other popular Sci Channel programs), even though many fans, like myself, are weary to the idea of two new people stepping into some very large shoes. So finally, after many dramatic weeks of deliberation two new hosts were supposedly selected.

What now?

Despite being a self-proclaimed die-hard fan of the show, I have been warming to the idea of Adam and Jamie's successors.

If all goes as planned, I envisioned a James Bond kind of vibe - many sets of "Mythbusters" over the years, each replacing the last to extend the ideas and values of the show across generations. And, as Babe Ruth told us in "The Sandlot," "heroes get remembered, but legends never die."

Inspirational quote aside, this was my vision (the only one that would be successful, in my opinion) for the continuance of the show with new hosts.

Yet it has almost been five months since the season finale of "Mythbusters: the Search," and no news has surfaced as to what's next. The only developments that have occurred have been the reformatting and re-airing of original episodes. For a few weeks, three similar themed original episodes were combined and aired as super episodes.

These 'new' episodes (as my automatic recorder on my DVR saw them) obnoxiously took up a good chunk of my DVR for no new material.

Then, fairly recently, old episodes were edited again, this time including 'extra footage' and fan Q&A with Jamie and Adam.

Alright, not bad, but nothing new. No ads or information regarding the future of the series have ever surfaced so these minor reboots lead me to believe there is not much new on the horizon. I'll admit it, a portion of me would not mind there never being a new episode of "Mythbusters" again, for fear of marring the original show.

Either way, the future looks uncertain, but, as with all things in life, only time will tell.
