Editorial Reviews

The world is full of urban legends tales that spread like viruses around the planet, mutating and evolving until no one knows if they are true or simply legend.

This collection from BIO® presents stories that have taken just such a journey. They are so hard-wired into our DNA, we never think to question their truth. A few examples: universities routinely award a 4.0 grade point average to students who have suffered the loss of a roommate. A business man awakes from a one-night stand in a tub of ice water to find his kidney has been stolen. A killer leaves behind a message written in blood, Aren t you glad you didn t turn on the lights?

Each episode of Urban Legends presents three such tales, some shocking, some amusing, some frightening, some just bizarre. The catch? At least one of the stories is true. All is revealed at the end of the show.

DISC ONE (8 episodes, approx 176 min): It Seemed Like a Clever Idea / When Animals Think / What a Way to Go / Mixed up in Crime / Cheating Death / No Excuses for Stupidity / Fickle Finger of Fate / Neighbors

DISC TWO (7 episodes, approx 154 min + 40 min bonus): The Stuff of Nightmares / Good and Evil / Mail Mix Ups / Marriage and Affairs / The Dark Side / The Human Body / Weird Woundings / Bonus: 45 "Mini-Myths"

This review is from: Urban Legends: The Complete Season One (DVD)

Some people might find this series a little cheesy, but I like it a lot. It is fun and entertaining, and with the violent and intense programming available on TV, this is a laid back alternative, a little low budget but that is fine with me. I can just relax and have fun with it. If you like quirky shows that don't take themselves too seriously then this could be for you.

This review is from: Urban Legends: The Complete Season One (DVD)

Beware! This is not the show Mostly True Stories: Urban Legends Revealed that was running on The Learning Channel and Discovery a few years ago. I goofed and bought this disc, which dramatizes 3 stories per episode and challenges the audience to guess which one really happened and which ones are only Urban Myths. The trouble is if you're an Urban Legend enthusiast like me, you already are familiar with these stories and this show doesn't fill in the background on the legends like "Mostly True Stories" does. So you end up with some hokey dramatizations which would tip off even someone who has never heard the stories to which ones "actually happened". Hence, I can't recommend this DVD to anyone and now I need to try to sell the damn thing. BTW-I didn't buy it on Amazon. I wish I had since I could have saved some money.
