Yeah, but their experiments were often very flawed. I remember they’d do things like take the myth literally instead of the spirit of what it meant, or their experiment setup didn’t match the actual myth. It was fun, and they had a great attitude, but it annoyed the hell out of me whenever people would reference these psuedo experiments and claim something was now “proven”. It was especially egregious when they tried to prove negatives(“this can’t happen”).
They themselves have said that Mythbusters wasn’t actual sound science, it was first and foremost a show made for entertainment but it still showed a respect for scientific method and curiosity that is very rare to see
