One of the better shows out there. Penn Jillette and the guys from Southpark are good friends, thats where they got the idea for the Scientology episode.

I loved almost every episode 'cept the environmental hysteria show and the one about drinking water.
Personally, I like the tap water in most of the places where I live but I can spot certain brands of water no problem. Evian in particular. I think it tastes like shit. Dasani, Fiji and Poland Spring are pretty good.
Their show on drug laws was awesome. Feng shui was hilarious too.

I dont like how they present the most ridiculous of representatives of the side they argue against. they choose easy targets, people easy to attack and defeat - especially with clever editing.

-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Exactly. Though they would never admit it, they have a lot with common with Michael Moore. Often enough, they're the one's who are spewing bullshit(except Teller, of course). Another thing that bugs me is the fact that Penn is a major asshole. Nevertheless, I find stuff in the show that I enjoy.

I'm not sure how one could consider two pro-gun and anti-environmental-hysteria guys "uber liberal."

Give me a break I wasn't allowed to watch captain planet as a kid. For serious, my parents didn't like the fact that a corporation was always the bad guy.

That's unfortunate, but I'm not sure I understand how that makes Penn & Teller "uber-liberal."

On the topics where I agree with them I think they're totally awesome, but when I don't I can't help to irritate myself about the way they present things. Especially on topics I'm egaged in myself I find their arguments flawed in many ways, also I don't like their populistic way of presenting things.
