Actually, MYTHBUSTERS is the best educational show on television for
teaching people the scientific method for testing theories.

They're OK sometimes, but too often they concoct a showy demonstration
that doesn't prove or disprove their theory except under very limited
conditions... or they poorly engineer a test that fails spectacularly
and so "busts" the myth, when even the greenest engineer could point
out the errors.

Still, it's entertaining, and more intelligent than most TV.
