Who else hates Mythbusters?

I like the whole concept of the show, but I HATE that it turned into the Big Explosion Show. When they're trying to bust a myth, they don't stop until something blows up, even if it has nothing to do with the myth. And they change things in the scenario until it's more likely to cause an explosion, with a complete disregard for the original question. For example, they were trying to find out if it's possible for a child to be pushed so hard on a swing that they actually go over the bar. so they put a child doll on a swing and push as hard as they can and nothing happens. So they say well maybe it needs more weight. So they put an adult doll on the swing, already straying from the myth, and push and nothing happens. well maybe we're not strong enough they think so they call some huge biker guys and tell them to push the doll. so now they're not even proving anything about the myth, they're just changing things around until it does what they want. They do this EVERY time, & it annoys me.
