Well, over on Digg.com, there was an article stating that Mythbusters is the best science show currently on American TV. I would have to agree with that, since not only do they make science fun, but they show science outside of the lab, which I think is important as science mostly takes place outside of the lab, and only specific bits are lab based.

But someone else suggested that House is a better science show...and most disagreed. But one person, username mikejonas, stated that s/he likes the show, but it has gotten a little formulaic lately...as in:

"Aw, come on. I love House, but

1. Patient collapses
2. Opening credits
3. Patient is admitted
4. House is an a-hole + miscellaneous subplots
5. Much jargon is thrown around
6. The disease is misdiagnosed, the wrong treatment is applied and the patient gets worse
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until 9:50 p.m.
8. House or a Cottage gets an epiphany from an otherwise unrelated subplot
9. The patient gets the right treatment and finally gets better

...does not make for a good "science show." Nice depiction of the scientific method, but not exactly scientifically enlightening.
"

What do you think, about either Mythbusters being the best science show on US TV, or House being formulaic?
