Skeptics and Mythbusters

The show Mythbusters seems to be in the skeptical spirit: it looks at everyday beliefs that some have and try to uncover the reality of the situation. Now, there are major derivations. The Mythbusters do claim to "bust" myths, something a skeptic might be uncomfortable with, but there is something essentially in the spirit of skepticism. In the numerous myths they have tackled, they recognized that they is not enough evidence in favor of any side, and will suspend any final judgment on it.
