Tragic news! Lab Rats will be ending after 300 episodes, so enjoy these last few while you can. Andy Walker and Sean Carruthers will still be at Butterscotch doing other shows and features, but Lab Rats as we’ve come to know and love it will no longer exist. We’ll just have to stay tuned to see what the guys will be up to next!

Thanks Andy and Sean for an amazing run, and we look forward to what you have in store for us in the future! In the meantime though, we still have 10 episodes left!

On this week’s ep, Andy and Sean chat about the new Sony Tablet S – a sharp-looking tablet that’s been flying under the radar, but could be a strong Android-based competitor to the iPad.
