[[WMG: Going along with the previous comments, M5 Industries and the show are both fronts for the Wiki/SCPFoundation.]]
And the crew are SCP personnel. Kari, Grant, and Tory were transferred to full-time posts as researchers, and their leaving the show was a cover for that. Adam and Jamie, however, started the show as mere researchers--but have worked their way up. The show ending after the 2016 season is because ''they are being promoted to O5 rank.''

* It all started when Adam and Jamie paid the CSI writers to set up a cameo for them in 'Theory of Everything'. Since the writers were reprimanded badly and getting InternetBacklash for having Grissom and Sarah leave they needed good inspiration for the next season. Hence the Mythbusters came into the picture, and are funding the CSI writers and allowing them to use their myths for the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Murder of the week]]. The Myths seen in CSI are 'Water Safe-Crack', 'Frog Giggin' and 'Don't Drive Angry' (in name only), to name a few.

* Grant is clearly a RidiculouslyHumanRobot sent from the future to warm the public up to the idea of our future robot overlords. All the robots he builds will be soldiers in the robot uprising. When the robots make their move to take over the world, he will spare the other MythBusters because they taught him love. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Awww.]]\

One time early in the series, when they rebuilt Buster he somehow got some black magic mixed in. Since then, Buster regenerates on his own... and if allowed to completely regenerate, he will be an incredible threat (to the Mythbusters at least, if not all humanity/the world). The MythBusters crew tried destroying Buster, but he just kept regenerating. Therefore, now they just keep making sure Buster keeps getting blown up/damaged whenever he starts getting too close to 'awakening'.

* This was confirmed by Grant during his call-in as part of Desert Bus for Hope 5. Or atleast that the Mythbusters are prepared.

* His famous line/quote "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" was meant literally. He just did what he said. Fortunately he is either very benevolent RealityWarper or MythBusters were created to keep him entertained, not unlike SOS Brigade in LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya.

* Well, yeah, that one's plausible. The narration has to be scripted. The opening setups for each myth most likely have to be scripted (this is more noticeable when the build team is involved - Tory and Grant especially are lousy actors). And it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the funny reactions/summations to the ensuing experiments are spliced in after the fact.
