I dug Darren McGavin like CRAZY, man, as a teenager!

I couldn’t help but laugh at the video that clearly showed a young woman or even a young man with long hair. That merited several minutes of serious discussion? Really?

This show has become too formulaic. Open with car ride and alleged bigfoot video, discuss video, interview person who got the video, night investigation #1, hear noise, say “What was that?”, cue dramatic music, commercial, noise was nothing, town hall meeting, pick three witnesses to follow up on, night investigation #2, commercial with trivia question, find nothing, end episode. Rinse, lather, repeat next week.

I would like the show to continue. I enjoy seeing the beautiful places they go to search for bigfoot. And Matt, Cliff, Ranae and Bobo are very colorful characters. But there needs to be less hype and more substance (e.g., interview more than three eyewitnesses when the night investigation flops, and mention briefly at the end of the show that the night investigation didn’t turn up anything. The eyewitness testimony is the most compelling part of the show, in my opinion).

If changes aren’t made, I think viewers will tire of this show soon. That would be a shame, because I think it still has potential.

Back on June 30, 2011 where Matt Moneymarker lectured us on ratings…yes, Matt Moneymaker used to come on this site and gave as good as he got. The debates we had here and other places were intense at times.

Now however, I feel that Finding Bigfoot has settled all the arguments for everyone. There is less energy to debate ths show as the show has become non-debatable…the show has defined itself.

Matt isn’t here anymore, maybe he didn’t like the abuse, maybe he is counting his money, or maybe he is out “Finding Bigfoot”, whatever…fewer people care anymore.

The Melba Ketchum train is the best train to ride if anyone wants to get to “Bigfootville”…but no one is sure if that train may have left the station.

As far as Finding Bigfoot the show, well, the comments and posts from 18 months ago are pretty much the same as today…so after 18 months we all know whats being served at that dinner table every Sunday night.

Matt Moneymaker, if you are out there, congratulations on your success, your popularity, and all your show’s fans. In my opinion you have done nothing, shown nothing, and proved nothing, yet you are still around…but again, that’s only my opinion.

The hope I have now is that Melba Ketchum’s paper proves something, or Surviorman has his own Bigfoot show, or better yet evidence for a Bigfoot is actually produced from one of the hundreds of witnessess Matt meets every season. Anything to get the show Finding Bigfoot off the air.

Energy for being angry at this show is waning…it’s like beating a dead horse…the one that Matt got on a thermal camera.

that, to me, is the right perspective to come from…. not like the finding bigfoot folks, who think almost everyhing is a bigfoot yet have no proof to support their claims.

I think long term this show will do more good, hopefully spurring other shows, maybe taking different angles and perspectives on this story and hopefully they find stuff too.

its a fascinating topic…. just reading the stuff on this site takes me back to being a kid….

“Contrast this with the say ghost hunter show, who DEBUNK everything first, then are left with real evidence.”

…Mix drinks or salads, but never, ever mix the paranormal or the supernatural with science. Because when you leave the rules governing the natural world, then anything and everything is possible without even a shred of real world scientific proof.

C’mon now… that’s stretching belief a little… not unless Mrs Squatch reminds him a hundred times 1st
