You are correct, for entertainment money does have to be spent. But I felt that this show spent more than was needed. I always thought that engineering was getting the most out of as little as possible. Not to pick on Prototype This but they didn't need to make 4 cars, 1 would of worked. 2 I guess would of been justified. But then why make the identical? More useful would of been to make the cars all using different types of sensors and see which worked best.

Im merely remarking on how big a waste of money it all is. I like the show, and will continue watching it but I will always feel that the money could be spent more effectively.

Also, I would LOVE if Mythbusters focused a little more on the math. Yes they do deal with a lot of it but Im a geek and sort of like math.
