great entertainment 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Season 2 was shorter than season 1, thankfully the DVD producers added Les Stroud's Surviving Alaska special as bonus material. I cant wait for Season 3 to start up now.
Editorial Review:
Whether braving alligator-infested swamps or bone-dry deserts, survival expert Les Stroud throws himself into harm's way, living out scenarios that would spell doom for most people. With no outside help--or even the aid of a camera crew!--Stroud films his week-long struggles to survive in the wilderness. Addictive, exhilarating, and informative, this series shows this rugged Survivorman beating the odds with ingenuity and skill. This is the second collection of episodes from this exciting series.

Nearly Perfect 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
As a 14 year-old, so-called pyromaniac, this show hits the spot for me, just not this season. If you are like me, and watch the discovery channel, hoping that some ship will sink on The Deadliest Catch, or that Bear Grylles will finally fall to his well-deserved doom on Man vs. Wild, this show is just the same. I personally watch this show hoping to see some amazing explosion that will break some Guinness-World-Record for the largest explosion held by some Russian guy whose name is harder to pronounce than an island in Indonesia. The truth about this season of Mythbusters is that things aren't as dramatic. Although the show gets much better as it matures, the first couple of episodes help the cast members find their comfort zone, and this makes the show MUCH more enjoyable. On the debate on weather-or-not to buy the box set, I say buy it.
Fabulous 5 out of 5 stars.

Bought this for my son and he has watched it over and over again. Loves it and laughs all the time while watching. He can't wait to get more of this series. But he has to help around the house to earn them. Which he is doing to get the next one.

I LOVE LES 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I LOVE LES in these videos. I used this material to teach my students about basic survival skills. Some of my boys got really enthused about trying out some of these tactics on our end of the year field trip. I have no doubt that if one of them gets lost they will know what to do to survive!!
I highly recommend these to anyone interested in the outdoors or who even remotely may be at risk for getting lost!
Editorial Review:
Imagine being stranded in the most extreme environments on earth for seven days - completely alone with virtually no supplies. How could you possibly survive? With no support crew and operating the camera himself survival expert Les Stroud tackles that question as he tests himself in the toughest types of wilderness ranging from the desert to the Arctic. Among his adventures he battles life-or-death situations - the aftermath of a winter plane crash abandoned in the mountains lost at sea and much more. If you like living on the edge you can't afford to miss a minute of these nine extended episodes!Disc 1: Arizona Desert Boreal Forest Georgian Swamp Costa Rican OceanDisc 2: Arctic Mountains Pacific Coast CanyonlandsLost at SeaSystem Requirements:Running Time: 178 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST Rating: NR UPC: 014381396720 Manufacturer No: DIS3967DVD

Great for Classroom Career Study! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I used this each Friday teaching a summer school career course for upper middle & high schoolers. While we worked for 4 days researching what jobs they might be interested in, we learned of these jobs they probably never anticipated! Best way to learn......through humor...& Mike Rowe, his crew & Discovery Channel do an excellent job in this! Yes, some students gagged at the "Sewer Inspector" piece but they also admitted they never even thought about the necessity of someone doing this. Thank you, Discovery Channel, for an outstanding program.

Jamie wants a big boom. Gotta love it. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Boys will be boys, but not for getting the girls. To quote a friend who saw an episode of Mythbusters, "why?". Answer: Why not. Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, (not for getting their lunatic fringe cohorts from later episodes Troy, Carrie and Grant), live out and get paid for basically playing and having to much fun. Testing, smashing, destroying, blowing up and answering questions that many have queried, but most do not have the time, talent or money to follow through. These wonderful guys and girl take scientific study and testing to a base reality. Prove it! They take projects from a point of imagination to conception. Making safety and planning a must and priority. In junior high, high school and later at my university they/we/I only touched on a very few actual experiments. I hope every science teacher in this country shows these wonderful modern day scientists and explorers to their students. The power of imagination. Some will say that Mythbusters is just TV, not science or exploration, they would be wrong and most likely just jealous. Jamie does sum it up for many of us guy dude explorer scientific want to be types, "Jamie wants a big boom" :-). Gotta love it. So to Jamie, Adam, Carrie, Troy, Grant and their Discovery crew and team. Thanks and safe journeys. Cheers

This is NOT the set Discovery is selling. Picture is not formatted to your tv causing the picture to be too big, Discoverys set is 4 CD's with a picture of Jonathan on the front, this is 8 CD's with an old picture on the front. No menus on disc just a push play button.

This has got to be the best tv show there is.

Editorial Review:
With humor, bravery and a high tolerance for all kinds of grossness, Mike Rowe exposes the grimy underbelly of America's dirtiest jobs! Working alongside the amazing men and women who tackle these vital jobs everyday, Rowe takes up the gauntlet of danger, skill and humiliation thrown down by these unsung professions. In these 12 episodes, you'll experience 20 of Rowe's most daring, most filthy jobs. You wouldn't want to do them, but they're lots of fun to watch!

Excellent series! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
This 2-disc set presents 4 episodes focused on different areas in which the human body is "pushing the limits": sight, strength, sensation, & brain power. I have actually shown some clips in my general psychology class as the material is presented in an easy to follow & interesting format -- perfect for freshmen! For anyone who is a Discovery Channel geek like myself, whether you're an educator or it's just a hobby (or both), this is a must-have for your collection. My only regret is that I bought it directly from the Discovery Channel website rather than Amazon.com -- I could've saved about $15!
Understanding the Human Body like Never Before 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This series premiered back in March and it blew me away! After watching all 4 episodes, I knew that I going to get it.
I agree with fellow reviewers that this DVD will appeal to students. It's educational, engaging, and very entertaining. The groundbreaking CGI effects displays the human body like never before. Also, the amazing real-life stories are riveting. From the ordinary to the extraordinary, there are great survival lessons to be learned, and how our bodies push to every extreme and challenge (hence, the title 'pushing the limits'?).
In addition to this DVD, I also highly recommend NGC's National Geographic - Incredible Human Machine, which further explores the physiological functions and inner organs of the human body. For the life of me, I don't know why it's labeled as being produced in 1975. The documentary premiered late '07, if I recall correctly. Anyway, it complements DC's series very well.
If you want to know why the human body is the greatest machine ever created, then do yourself a favor. Buy these DVDs!
