Anybody ever watch Finding Bigfoot?

  • It's on Animal Planet and it may be the most unintentionally funny program in TV history.

    Anybody else watch this show?

  • That is the most rediculously entertaining show on tv right now. When they send BOBO into renact what the witnesses saw I almost pissed my pants (dude looks like a squatch himself). They have to be acting but they seem so serious. I thought I was the only one to watch that crap. Lol

  • Bigfoot researchers or trackers or whatever you call them have to be some of the dumbest people there are. I remember about 2-3 years ago a bunch of them rushed to a small town in the upper peninsula in Michigan that my family owns a cottage in because people reported seeing large prints in the snow. All they had to do was be familiar with snow or ask any of the locals (who all made fun of them non stop) because when snow melts any prints in them expand .

    It's like bigfoot hunters refuse to look for obvious explanations for events they want to classify as "Squatch activity". The ghost hunters do this as well.

  • It's unintentional comedy at it's finest. Sorta like Championship "Rasslin". I was honored to serve as the GM for the Marina Civic Center in Panama City from 1983-1989. After getting the wave of the hand from the City Manager, I brought in "rasslin" once a month to help augment the revenue stream for the building - we made good money on concessions boyo - lotta beer 'n popcorn! After a bit I got to be sorta friends with the promoter. "Theater of the Absurd" he quipped with a smile on his face. "The best entertainment besides NASCAR for the "Potato People".

    Potato People? I asked. Yes he said, just look at 'em. Look at this guy! He was about 6'8", 300lbs+, belly as big around as an giant beer keg, splotchy skin, a "chaw" tucked firmly in cheek , blue overalls at least several decades in age, and a red hat so old and worn out the logo was indistinct. Mama was in a tent dress, weighed just a bit less than pops, two kids - both with multi-colored hair about 25 years before it became a fashion statement. They sported a full set of teeth if you allowed the count to include all four of 'em. This was typical of the gen pop of our attendance. There was this one - very elegantly dressed African American Gentleman, who graciously tipped his cap to me on his way in. As the first match started, he would stand on his chair, and scream "You DUM-DUM, You DUM-DUM, You DUM-DUM, over and over and over again for the entire card.

    Needless to say, I had to have extra off-duty Police and Fire Marshall security on hand, as there were multiple fist-fights, necessary restraint of drunk patrons trying to climb in the ring to accost the scantily clad card girls - all of who were "augmented" and had most of THEIR teeth. Sometimes we had to deal with a conflagration in the stands, when a disgruntled patron would set fire to their program or pants, in high dudgeon when their favorite was "unmasked". Saturday nights in ole PC were sometimes very interestin'. I'm sure Sasquatch or at least his cousin was hanging out somewhere on the premises.

    One of my favorite things on the show is how the lack of evidence of a bigfoot IS THEIR EVIDENCE for a bigfoot.

    For example: 1) we know Bigfoots are in these woods because we only hear coyotes, and Bigfoots disguise their calls to sound like whatever is in the woods.

    2) we know Bigfoots must bury their dead because we never find a dead one.

    Everything starts with the presumption that the only explanation is that the squatch exists and is responsible for whatever it is they are investigating, and it takes absolute proof of something else (human, bear, elk...) for them to change their minds.

    That's some of the funniest stuff I've read in a while.

    Well............thank you sir, I guess. Every word is true. I never had trouble with volunteers from the PCPD or the Fire Chief's office when rasslin was on the schedule. Apparently there was a long line of extra duty signees for this. The best gig for the cops, was guard on the Ring Girls dressing rooms. Sometimes two men were needed, or so my uniformed friends told me.

    The worst, was when we brought in the Royal Lippizan Stallions (Dressage) exhibition (a sad event if there ever was - Napoleans on white/grary horses trotting around and crapping on my floor). We had to have a armed guard on the horse trailers/corral/saddle prep area. The guys usually designated a rookie that thought entirely too much of himself for that station. deadhorse Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The aroma of equine fertilizer for about 4 hours.

    There's more (even some nekkid stories) but I sense my audience is gettin' bored by now.

  • I've always avoided shows like this(mainly because they find evidence no matter what), but I may have to check this show out. Seems like it could be a real hoot.

    I was being sincere. One hell of a story and made me laugh.

    Understood. Life can be very amusing along the way, it you let if. It all depends on one's perspective.

    Sasquatch. I watched a show about this some years back, and the solo video of the creatures turned out to be a hoax. The camera operator had a friend dress up in a Halloween costume, and walk through the winter landscape. This engendered a plethora of activities and attention that was totally unwarranted. The "artists" held their peace for 25 years or so, and finally came clean. However, there are still a jillion "believers" out there, which accentuates the reasoning politicians, in particular progressives, have such an easy time selling dogshyte to people by the boxcar load.

    It's sorta like what my friend of Japanese ancestry tells me. Back in his home country, there is still a large contingent of "fanatics", that are always on the lookout for.............."GODZILLA, GODZILLA, RUN, GODZILLA!!!

    I think it's a close second to Ghost Hunters on the Travel Channel. That one is worse.

    At least Finding Bigfoot shows a lot of gorgeous country.
