I bought this DVD to make it part of my emergenc...y plans kit for science; I'm a sub teacher. I had a chance to use it within a week of purchasing it. The high school students found it entertaining. I found it interesting. The episode exploring such themes as an ejection seat and falling through awnings and, for the first 50 minutes, was good, balanced. The last three myths explored jumping a gorge in a car and blasting padlocks with various weapons to see if they would unlock. While interesting, this part of the DVD lacked the intensity of the first part and seemed to have been hurriedly thrown in. It was informative, like most Mythbusters episodes, just not of the same quality as the first 50 minutes. All in all this was a good buy for me, it kept the students entertained while informing them, and my son loves the show (and the DVD). I'm looking forward to purchasing other Mythbuster specials, and maybe, a season or two. I hope this helps, of course you can "Reject my reality and replace it with your own."
These Mythbusters are good videos... to watch. You learn a lot and the characters are "characters" as well. The only thing I find unnecessary is the swearing. But in today's society it is accepted, so I guess there is no getting around that. Alton Brown's "Good Eats" series is the only series we have found without swearing that is fun and educational as well..

I bought this video to show to my middle sc...hool students so that I could then have them come up with their own Mythbusters type experiments. I knew I would enjoy the video but I wasn't sure how my students were going to take to it. They LOVED it. Very educational and fun at the same time.
Purchased this for my 12 year old son, a true... fan. He loved it! This DVD is one especially long episode, it's about 1 1/2 hours long - one show only. My son has watched it more than once!
I bought this for my son for Chris...tmas who is a huge Mythbusters fan. I am rating it good because I know he enjoyed watching it. He may have rated it excellent...not sure.
