Finally got around to watching the first episode of Penn & Teller: Tell a Lie. :( Wow, extremely boring. Guess some people would find it entertaining, I just find it mind numbing. Really going to miss Bullshit!

War Of The Worlds, the t.v. show based on the original movie, its so bad its unmissable.Anyone else remember this show?.
Yeah, I saw the first few episodes. Painfully bad.
I found the first few Bullshit!s entertaining (anything that encourages skepticism is alright by me) but then I noticed a pattern to their shows of bringing out the worst advocates possible of things they don't agree with which they shouted down or demonstrated to be ridiculous and the most emotionally charged advocate for things they did agree with which they made out to be authorities on the subject.
This may be some sort of ironic comment on their part (using the same sort of 'propaganda programming' techniques that the 'bad guys' use as an audience litmus test) and it's in line with the guys who made Rebo And Zooty 'deliberately' not funny to comment on how not all comedy translates well over time.
But I didn't buy it myself.
