For anyone missing the show, there was a wonderful project called Streamlined Mythbusters where fans edited each episode down to remove the filler, pre and post ad recaps, etc. They usually also would reorder things so each individual myth was seld contained.

It's wonderful, but some episodes legitimately got cut down to be 16 minutes long with no real content loss, which can be kind of jarring.

There is also Smyths, which is the same thing.

Unfortunately Mythbusters edits have a tendency to get pulled from the typical video sharing sites rather quickly. I wish someone would make a torrent of the entire series edited this way, and call it a day.

What, like the pinned post on the smyths reddit page?

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Excellent; thanks. I cached the torrent to Real-Debrid, so if anyone reading this so happens to be using that service, you can download the torrent directly at 1Gbps by pasting the magnet link (the first one) in Torrents section of the website.

Oh god, I forgot, it was during the "REALITY TV!" boom where marketing and hype had more substance than the shows themselves, and if the show had substance.... edit it like it is Reality TV...

I do not miss that.

Thanks for the Rec! I definitely miss the show. Adam's YouTube channel sometimes scratches the itch, but not always.

You can find a torrent of all of them. I love putting Plex on shuffle when I'm doing chores around the house.
