Two Great Guys, One Great Show, Jun 26 2004
This review is from: Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t! - The First Season (DVD)
I have been a huge fan of the self-proclaimed "Bad Boys of Magic" ever since I first saw them on "Saturday Night Live" in the late eightites. When I heard about "Bulls---" I was very anxious to see it. I was not disappointed. "Bulls---" is very informative and also very funny. The topics presented are very well researched and get the point across quicky and easily. Nobody who believes Nostordomus could see into the future or that Johnathan Edward can actually talk to the dead will think that after watching the show. Not only do you learn something when you watch "Bulls---" you have a lot of laughs too. I laughed myself silly while watching the episode "Environmental Hysteria." Penn & Teller showed how stupid and misinformed the environmetalists featured in the episode are by showing them signing a petition to ban water and asking them simple questions they could not answer such as why global warming is bad for the planet and why they were so dedicated to their cause. The laughs continue through other episodes especially the episode titled "The End of the World." You will be entertained and you will learn a lot watching Penn & Teller's excellent show "Bulls---." I highly recommend everybody catches it

Nominated for two Emmy awards!!!!!, July 16 2004
This review is from: Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t! - The First Season (DVD)
BS has been nominated for two Emmy awards - best non-competition reality show and best writing (for the 'War on Drugs' episode). This show is very entertaining and informative. I completely disagree with the reviewer who claims Penn is a poor narrator. He does an excellent job, and pulls no punches. This is truly the best show on TV. Matt

A delishful tray of skeptical bonbons!, July 14 2004
This review is from: Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t! - The First Season (DVD)
Skeptics have twice the fun because they can explore the tantalizingly weird world of the occult, UFOs, alternative medicine, psi, fringe religious beliefs, bad science, etc. without the misery and expense of actually believing in them. Who better than the eminently entertaining Penn & Teller to serve as tour guides to this world of scams and delusions, and they do so with just the right combination of rude derision for the perps and respectful compassion for their victims.
