Mythbusters is a load of crap. Grown men and women acting like children blowing things up. I'd love if it got cancelled and they put something decent on instead.

These mythbusters have no respect for peoples property and all in the name of making money passed off as some scientific show. Cancel this show.

It was an isolated incident where something went wrong. How does that mean lack of respect for peoples property?

Grown men and women blowing stuff up is entertaining, and they do it in an informative manner where they explain what they are doing. You can learn much from the show, unlike the X-Factor, Britain's got Talent, etc

By far one of the best shows on TV. What do you suggest they replace it with?

It's a load of rubbish that paved the way for other rubbish like Destroyed In Seconds and that other pile of crap where they saw things in half with a chainsaw.

Programmes that are on a channel called 'Discovery' should actually teach you something rather than being about blowing things up just for the sake of it.

These types of programmes are ruining the documentary channels.

Exactly.
News Report did say the show is "on hold" ... I say its assement time. This could mark the end for Mythbusters.

I watch the show and many times they have stated they couldnt do certain myths the way they wanted to because of insurance. There is going to be a big pay out for those home owners out of the insurance which will raise the cost up for further 'myths' they test.

.. this could end it. I doubt it cause its VERY popular. But you never know.

A couple of points to note:
- the cannon firing was done on police property, with their full approval and bomb squad officers in attendance;
- that cannon has been on the show before, and that time it was operated by its owners, not by the cast of the show. They're in the pictures this time too, so it's reasonable to assume that was the case yesterday too.
Say what you like about the Mythbusters, but they are not too proud to get professional help when dealing with dangerous things.

Shark versus Anaconda, When Good Sharks Go Bad, every other programme on the Discovery network seems to involve sharks.

Mythbusters is good though, hopefully they show this episode.

Having been in Dublin, California all I can say is there's not a whole lot worth destroying there anyway.

Its not the first time:

http://boingboing.net/2009/03/26/mytbusters-accidenta.html

From 2009:

Our pals at Mythbusters made a big bang in the the small town of Esparto, California. Their aim was to "knock the socks off" a mannequin with an explosion of ammonium nitrate. The boom blew out some residents' windows that Mythbusters replaced. One woman whose glass was shattered was delighted by the surprise. Others, not so much. From KCRA.com:

"Course all the neighbors ran out into the street. We didn't know what was going on," said Paul Williams, who heard the explosion...

Williams said the school and others in town should have been notified the blast was going to happen.

Chief Barry Burns, of Esparto Fire Department, had several firefighters on hand for the explosion. He said he made the decision not to notify anyone in town for safety sake.

"Mythbusters is supposed to be a really popular show. Everybody would have been out there. We would have had to cancel it because it would have been too dangerous," Burns said.

This is California, a State which has banned a series of weapons by method of the legislators going through a picture book of guns and saying "that one looks bad, we'll ban that one, that one's not scary, we'll let people have it..."

I am sure that the local PC brigade will be involved in this too. Weapons are evil, mmmkay?

Fun should be allowed but it is just a silly show. These guys are sceptics and love science but make a mockery of science with some of the nonsense they get up to.
