I agree, at the same time it is another source of information. I didn't mean to say "Mythbusters says X, therefore it must be true". I must admit I cringe when ever I watch that show or just about anything else on Discovery where the characters claim an impetus toward scientific rigor -- but that does negate the entertaining utility of the shows

I fully agree with you, it is one of the better shows on TV in my opinion, but to say that they actually prove something when they experiment is a large stretch. I as a non-expert in pretty much any field they cover can almost always pick out errors that would affect the outcome.
