Plot: How do you test the mythical? The Mythbusters, never daunted by a challenge, seek to prove or bust some myths about the shinobi. In the first episode, they test if a ninja can catch an arrow or stop a blade with his (or her) bare hands. Additionally, they discover if ninjas could, in fact, walk on water. Sadly for ninja fans, they manage to bust all myths. Some fans apparently refused to take "busted" for an answer, and the Mythbusters revisit the myth of catching an arrow in a second episode. They also prove ninjas could have used blowguns underwater to commit assassinations and the power of the one-inch punch.
Genre: Documentary, Ninjas
Reading Level: The shows were not rated, but I think they were labeled TV-Y or TV-G.
Similar Titles: Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters: Pirate Myths 1 + 2
Personal Thoughts: The Mythbusters provide the usual entertainment and education in two shows. Also, the first episode also includes the "Ask A Ninja" Ninja as a cameo, which displays their goal to connect with viewers on an everyday basis. Adam also gets very wet, which is an additional plus.
