I'm going to split this up into different categories to give a feel of how good the show actually is.
Overall: 8 out of 10 - A very good microwave series, what they occasionally lack in microwaving abilities, they more than make up for in comedy. Even episodes which by all stretches of the imagination should suck, are actually pretty good. They are second only to dOvetastic Microwave Theater in overall enjoyment value.
Comedy: 9 out of 10 - Usually pretty funny, including some unintentionally funny moments like the combination lock episode where the only thing that reacted were the remains of the previous experiment. Depending on your preferences, their comedy may not be your cup of tea, since it often ranges between R rated and NC-17 rated (despite the bleeping of "shit" and "fuck", which was actually done as a form of semi-Unnecessary Censorship for laughs).
Microwaving: 6 out of 10 - This is their achilles heel. Microwaving is actually not all that mediocore but very inconsistent. You have some episodes like the airbags, both lava lamps, the ping pong balls, the spray paint (both times), the batteries, and the light bulb which had some of the best microwavings on the web. On the other hand, you have episodes like the CO 2 cartridge, the thermite, the silly string, and the hourglass which were complete and utter fails. Many times, though, their problem is stopping the experiment too early.
Cinematography: 7 out of 10 - The best spots are shown and it's obvious that a great deal of effort was put into each episode. But sometimes, the best moments in the actual microwaving are omitted in favour of the reactions of the guys, which is something some people prefer, while I personally just like to see stuff blow up in a microwave.
Rewatchability: 8 out of 10 - Some episodes you can watch again, and again, and again and again and again......others, you watch them once and that's enough for awhile. There's also a lot of hidden little things here and there which you only notice the second time around.
