I've watched a few shows. Those guys are assholes. It's one thing to be skeptical, but these guys are just full of themselves. They almost never give the phenomena they're "investigating" the attention they deserve, and are all too quick to dismiss something outright just because there's a few problems with it. For example, when they were doing something on the Kennedy assassination, they acted as though anyone who so much as suspects that anyone other than Lee Harvey Oswald was involved is a total lunatic. They seem to confuse skepticism with dismissiveness.

Yeah, I like that show. The one about alien abductions made me laugh...I also liked the one about talking to the dead. They really make people look like assholes
On, and they have one called "The war on Drugs" that was pretty good too.

I want to see the UFO or Alien episode. I'm a firm believer in Aliens. Too many credible people have seen them.
Edit: Ghosts, too.

I saw that one, it was good.
I saw another one on the bible. They went so far as to burn a few of them

I saw a few episodes a few years ago and I liked the way they used simple logic to disprove unbelievable and improbable topics. Not saying human reason is the end all, be all of things but, they are good at it.

That's what I was talking about. I clicked on the pic to enlarge it, so I could see what it was of. Then, I noticed you, in the background. Who is that taking the pic?

I love that show. I have yet to disagree with any of their decissions.. They just make so much logical sense. One of these days I'm going to buy all of the episodes on DVD.

I was watching it today on ShoutcastTV.
It was on recycling and how recycling is actually worse for the environment and more expensive.
They really do take an "anyone who doesn't agree with what we're saying is an idiot" approach.
Nevertheless, it's entertaining.

I see it as more like they uncover the truth behind so much over inflated good intentioned ideas. Like the recycling thing, it's a good idea that's just not working too good yet. One day it will be efficient, but not now. As for now it just makes people feel good.

I like the episode about drugs, mainly marijuana. I want to show it to my girlfriend and try to get her more accepting of me smoking pot.
