Finding Bigfoot

[MoreliAddict]

Has anyone else watched Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet? I love the show, I think it's hilarious. My girlfriend and I can't agree on weather or not the cast is full of actors, or people who actually believe in bigfoot.

Thoughts on the show or its legitimacy?

[Norm66]

I haven't seen the show but a buddy of mine is obsessed with Bigfoot. He thinks it's an escaped ape of some sort from the pirate era. He wants to win the lottery to fund a zeppelin (blimp, whatever) fitted with infrared to hunt BF down.

I'm dubious of the "reality" in any reality show though just on general principal.

[BarelyBreathing]

I don't watch tv, but I have a friend who goes on bi-anual big foot hunts. I've gone once, it was pretty intense.

My fiancee works on a number or 'reality' shows. So far she hasnt found one yet that is anything even close to reality. They are all very scripted and acted, with many, many takes for each scene. I would be surprised if this one wasnt the same.

But it's on animal planet, who claims it to be real. Could that give the show more credibility or not so much?

[youngster]

Not so much, AP has gone waaaay downhill

[BarelyBreathing]

The last time I watched Animal Planet was when Steve Irwin was still alive. :(

I think it's all a joke :p I always wonder why they don't set up live feed cameras at areas of sightings, etc. Or why when someone sees it, they don't follow it or something. IDK. But I bet it would be lots of fun to go on a hunt anyway :D The whole thing reminds me a lot about the Blair Witch Project

they have set up a fake deer as bait, and they even had a live monkey in a cage brought to the woods to draw a squach in.

i don't think the crew has spotted something they thought could be a squach yet, have they?!

[BarelyBreathing]

It was so much fun! We didn't see any signs of big foot, but we saw a cougar. Scary as heck.

[shaunyboy]

i don't think big foots true but.....

i have an open enough mind to think,there may be things out there that us humans have not discovered and live outwith of our knowledge

i would however love big foot to be discovered one day

they say it can turn invisible or go out of phase regards human sight (how cool would that be:D)

who really knows what lives up the himalaya's,so yeti's may be out there

I have to agree with Eli here, I dont think Animal Planet is a sign of much credibility anymore. Look closely at a lot of their animal footage, and even that is often recreated in some basement studio somewhere!

[Trent]

Its good for a laugh.

[alessia55]

I avoid Animal Planet these days, much preferring to watch Nat Geo WILD instead

[shaunyboy]

Sir David Attenbourgh is about the only wildlife guy,i trust to give me 100% true facts on mother nature

he is the man when it comes to wildlife programmes imo:D

cheers shaun

[Trent]

I agree,but his voice puts me to sleep.:sorry:

Agreed Shaun. He IS the man ;-)

[youngster]

D Attenborough is the man and one of my heroes but you can't count out Eric Pianka.

Iv'e never seen him on TV here Eli. Guess I'm just going to google him ;-)

[youngster]

He's an ecologist and he's more of a book guy than TV.
Evolutionary Ecology is an amazing book by him.

Another less scientific one is Lizards: Windows to the Evolution of Diversity.

Ok thanks ;-)

[BarelyBreathing]

I want to go to Loch Ness so I can say I've been there. Isn't there a Nessie gift shop, too? Oooh I want a Nessie stuffed animal.

[KORBIN5895]

Dang! I guess I will have to cancel that mail-order submarine. :( Now how am I going to get rich?

[Swany]

BB there's more gift shops than you can shake a stick at lol

Dumber. Next idea ?

[BarelyBreathing]

Wow, what? Is that a real phrase? Why would I want to shake a stick and something?

And I'm serious, I want a Nessie stuffed animal. (I have a collection of awkward stuffed animals.)

[shaunyboy]

Yeah that is a phrase we use here. There's more (whatever) than you can shake a stick at lol, if you arrive in Scotland you'll find a stuffed Nessie NO PROBLEM I can assure you lol

[BarelyBreathing]

Apparently hubby uses that phrase. Weird.

[Swany]

Perfectly good use of the English language lol

[KORBIN5895]

I use that phrase. I also like to use the rule of thumb which originated over that way too.

@Dumb

I don't know what I will do now.
