MythBusters, Discovery’s cult-classic television show in which two science buffs blow stuff up on in search of truth, made a sad announcement in October.

The show’s 14th season, which airs on Saturday, will be its last.

The show, filmed in San Francisco and areas around the East Bay, certainly had its memorable moments, and everyone has their personal favorite. The infamous “cannonball incident” in Dublin in 2011 broke the show’s accident-free track record of more than 2,500 experiments and 800 myths busted during their tenure with Alameda County.
