Finding Bigfoot

This is another attempt at a show that has the potential to be good, but fails due to bending evidence to match preconceived ideas. Why do I say this? Here is an example: In the first show, one of the researchers does a "sasquatch call". They say, it sounds just like a squatch! In the next show, the "sasquatch call" sounds completely different. Not a little bit, but entirely 180 degrees different. The first call was deep sounding. The second sounded like a man with his privates in a bear trap! The comment after the second call, "Wow, that sounded exactly like a squatch!".

My biggest problem with this is, how can they say this is how a completely unproven creature sounds? Next, in every show they manage to find a "squatch" with the thermal cams. Now if this is true, why in the world would they not set out camera traps to try to get a conclusive photo??? Thermal cams are VERY expensive! You could buy a boat load of motion sensor game cams for the same price. I believe the reason they do not employ them is it would cause crew members to be photographed too often posing as a bigfoot.

This is another show going down the same road as UFO Hunters - Don't confuse me with the facts, I already know everything.

Waste of time.

I must say I was excited to see this show when I first heard about it. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed after watching the first episode. I tried stick with it but after the second episode I just watched it for a laugh.

The show is run by a clown called Matt Moneymaker (last name says everything) He claims to an expert on something he has zero proof of ever existing, he's been hunting them for 25yrs ........

Every episode is the same, they go to a wooded area, call a town meeting, get some stories from the locals, pick the stories they like best, meet the local person where they claim to have seen a bigfoot, get bobo to stand where the person saw it, predict a height and always confirm that what they saw was a bigfoot...... They then go to a random wooded area make as much noise as possible with their constant talking, howling and banging wood together. Very scientific. Any animal within 2 miles would have heard them coming and just moved in the other direction. This show is hilariously bad if anything.

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.

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.
