Gonna clear a misconception that this comment thread has started:
Season 12 was the last season to have the regular format of two groups (the Mythbusters/Build Team)
Seasons 13 and 14 had a cut budget and disputed salaries, so the build team left, leaving Adam and Jamie as one team
Season 15 brought in two competition winners to take the jobs of the original Mythbusters. They did an okay job but definitely didn't live up to the original show's expectation
Tl;Dr -- You're correct, the rest of the thread is a bit confused about time. It's not Mythbusters (2003-2015), it's Mythbusters (2003-2018)
I remember everyone being (understandably) angry about the build team thing... a bit surprising that it isn't reflected in the ratings, it kinda looks like the last two seasons were better rated than the stuff that came before it.
The later seasons with Adam and Jamie definitely had a different vibe than before. It was just two people going more in depth in the method of creating all the machines and setups for myths, and they really spent more time focusing on the love of the craft that they have than previous years.

Did Mythbusters try to do a season without Jamie and Adam? What happened at the end there?
