So they have just aired episode 3 of the new season and I don't think it is as good as the previous season. They had some opinionated moments before but this season has almost all been opinion with few proper facts. A liitle disappointing. Any thoughts?
Who else watches this show? |

I love the Penn and Teller series!
I'm not of the ilk that believe if, I don't agree with what they are saying then what they are saying is wrong... Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy watching successful people at their business...It sparks creativity... Plus, those guys are just funny as heck. Prof. Piper (Terry)

I have seen some of the previews of their show, and it looks good. But is there any magic involved, or do they just make fun of stuff? Anyway, none the less, I gotta watch it, I've been dieing to see this. What channel is it in, and when can I see it???

It's on Showtime, Monday nights at 10 PM with lots of replays later in the week.
There's very little magic...it's more of an issues show. And, yes, they make fun of people, but the real point of the show is to expose the lack of evidence, or questionable intepretations of evidence, for claims such as alien abductions, remote viewing, and magnet therapy. They also get into issues such as the validity of the Bible, claims made by PETA, homeland security measures, and so on. Are they biased as heck? Yes. Do they always get it right? No. Does it give you food for thought? Yes. Curt |

This show is a must see for any one who considers themselves "media litterate", buy the DVDS!
