MythBusters: Collection 3

Title: MythBusters: Collection 3
Year: 2003-2005
Creator: Peter Rees
Directors: Peter Rees (5 episodes), Alice Dallow (2), Andrew Farrell (1), ? (4)
Starring: Jamie Hyneman, Adam Savage
Synopsis: a couple special effects guys and various cohorts test whether various urban legends are possible
Episodes: 12, from the first, second and third seasons
Network: Discovery Channel
How I saw it: online (streaming from Netflix), over the past few days
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good).
Objective Rating: 6/10 (points off for story [n/a], cinematography, acting [n/a] and music) c. 2.4/4 (Okay).

These are episodes that weren't good enough to make the cut for the first collection, so they're not quite as good (and there are notably fewer fireballs and explosions). Also, three of the episodes are pilots, which are of particularly worse quality than the rest of the show. Still fun, though.
