Like others have said, Season 1 they make it way too easy to guess which is true. In season 3, they make it much more challenging and the actors aren't as obvious to spot. I can't find Seasons 2 and 4 anywhere and would really like to see them.
The idea for the show is pretty good - guess the true tale from the false one. However, the format uses eye witness interviews as well as dramatisations for each story and therein lies the problem. The ones that are false are easy to guess because the eye witnesses stand out a mile as actors. If the show used the approach of "Fact or Fiction" (a very similar programme) it'd be far more difficult to work out what's what because you just get the dramatisations to work with.
The "Mini Myth" segments are the highlights. Not only are they told using comical graphics, they're also harder to guess - unlike the main stories.

This is a terrible show. They were actually going to make a show out of a celebrity. Actually one of the best entertainers in the world. Celebrities are human beings!NOT URBAN MYTHS! The fact that they would even do this is just not okay and very disrespectful to that celebrity and his family. That is not okay. Doing an episode on a celebrity is not only stupid,idiotic,mean,cruel,inhumanely,and just flat out terrible but it is just simply not okay at all. This is very disrespectful! This is a terrible show.

I happened to stumble upon this rare gem that doesn't get the credit it should receive, it is a bit like the tv show Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction, but the difference is it deals with urban legends where they show the viewers 3 or 4 stories and little tidbits in-between and at the end of the show they tell you what stories are true or which stories are urban legends. I was hooked after the first show i had watched, I wish this series had gotten extended, but, I didn't know about it when it was originally broadcasted, I really enjoyed this series, and they also give facts along with the true stories that you can search on the internet to verify the facts. I Highly recommend.
It's a cool show but they make it TOTALLY obvious which one is true and which ones aren't. The actors on the ones that aren't true are really not that great of actors. You can tell they're lying, or at least I can. Also the background for the true story is always different then the then other 2 when the person telling the story is talking. Plus they go into detail way more with the true story. Maybe it's just me but I've been able to guess which one is the true story just off those factors alone. The true stories are interesting though and I like the "mini myths" the true ones are pretty cool.
