Finding Bigfoot

This is hands down one of the worst shows I've seen on animal planet (and that's saying a lot). However this proves to be so entertaining that the "quality" of the show has no real importance.

The 4 squatch hunters seem to be borderline retarded and are willing to accept their hilariously lackluster findings (broken branches, vague knocking sounds etc) as "proof" of the existence of "Bigfoot's". Yet despite this infuriating lack of scientific method, they happen to provide some of the most entertaining T.V around. There are few things more fun than laughing at there ineptitude, especially if some kind of drinking game is involved.

Overall it is both an abomination of a T.V show and one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century.

"Finding Bigfoot" is a silly show, but for some reason, I can't get enough of it. If you are looking for a reasoned, scientific look at a group of four open-minded scientists trying to either prove or disprove the existence of the Sasquatch, this show is not for you. As a matter of fact, that show does not exist at all. "Finding Bigfoot" features three true believers and one skeptic (Ranae the Skeptic is reasoned compared to the other three, which really isn't saying that much) who go out in the woods and hear things at night. Now, I'm no expert, but I'm certain there are several nocturnal animals in North America that make noises and night and they are not all Sasquatches, but then again I'm not a Bigfoot expert, so what do I know? That being said, I cannot stop watching this show. The characters that the team comes across are earnest, honest people who mostly do not know what they saw and want answers. The team of Mike, Cliff, and Bobo are nice people who have a conclusion in mind and try to fit the evidence to fit this final idea (not really good science, but I digress), and Ranae usually fulfills the role of the viewer at home who is screaming at the TV "that noise was a deer, not a Bigfoot!" Finding Bigfoot is one of the least objectionable reality shows on TV right now, though maybe that speaks more of the other shows than this--either way, the truth is out there.

This show is ridiculously bad. The absurd claim of "facts" that Matt Moneymaker and Bobo make are inane to say the least. Matt Moneymaker is especially annoying. Everything is a "Squash" to him. No matter how absurd the claim, how fake the so-called evidence (usually a sound miles away in the woods, a muddy shoe print, a broken twig, a far away and blurry photo or out of focus video), he utters his annoying phrase "There's a squash in these woods." Sadly, both him and Bobo claim they have been looking for Big Foot for the last 25 years. Yet, with never finding Big Foot, no evidence of Big Foot, no photos, no videos... Matt claims to be an "expert." He takes the credit for coming up with "wood knocking" because he claims Big Foot's go around wood knocking. He also takes credit for Big Foot Calls, because, you guessed it, he claims Big Foot's go around screeching in the woods. Even when videos are clearly people or hikers, he claims they are a Big Foot. And Matt and Bobo verbalize about how Big Foot try to drown deer, how they wrap their bodies in moss to sleep, and the reason no bones have ever been found is because Big Foot's "hide" the bodies. Matt and Bobo are so stupid they are an insult to stupid people.

Take the BFRO group and show for what it is, entertainment without fighting, screaming, swearing, sex or exploitation of children. I watch it never to have proof positive evidence thrown my way but to watch a tv show and ask "what if". I for one wish something, anything still existed on this earth of this magnitude or that there were yet uncharted territory. With our continued urbanization and advancement in technologies we've all lost our chance to imagine and dream.

If anything this show keeps alive some of the adventure we all crave and miss in this day in age. We should all be less human self-centric and more in tune with the world around us.

Keep up the fun for years tcome, I'll keep watching just in case you do find something.

Listen everyone, these creatures are real! I am 67 and saw my first Bigfoot standing by bridge in NJ. Never have they been aggressive, however I am being harassed every night as one of them keeps trying to get into my windows! It's very scary for me and I am now moving to a retirement home. I first saw them at the new house the day after I moved there! There is a family and they all travel together. Even during the day they lay behind the bushes and watch me??! The third day in the new house I was faced down by one of them, Lady dog and I went out back, I looked up and there he was standing by the big tree!?? I was in shock and could not move! There we were staring at each other not moving an inch!! Mean was what I was getting ... this is not a friendly visit! Lady and I want right back inside. Day and night they are out there ...I had a beautiful Dog that they made sick and I had to put her to sleep. She would just lay in the closet all day and night by herself? These are creatures - not just animals- I see lights around them sometimes, Red Eyes that light up ... not just shine from other light source! These creatures work as a Military Unit to keep watch vigils ect! I can't stay there anymore, been in a Hotel for two weeks now and moving next week I hope to my new safe place.
