Mythbusters is good just because of how down-to-Earth and raw it is.

They show the audience what they want to see. They ask the questions the audience wants asked. They give rationales that make sense, most of them.

It’s a very human show, even if it requires a lot of science and engineering to make it work.

The producers did a fine job with it. I’m glad it’s not over-edited or following a checklist of what a show needs to be in order to be successful.

Its format and presentation fit the content like a glove.
