Macgyver had a cool Bigfoot episode in the third season. ( Now on DVD ) It was the first episode my kids ever saw of Macgyver on cable and they were hooked, on Macgyver and Bigfoot.

Wow! I completely forgot about the Bigfoot on the Six Million Dollar Man. My Mom loved that show and that creature freaked me out, but I was fascinated. Thanks to TV guide for the memory jolt.

“They better think twice if they try to do so on purpose and only wound one. In my mind these are powerful creatures and retribution could come swift and permanent. I sure wouldn’t want to make one mad.”

I wouldn’t want to think of one being wounded either, for purely humanitarian reasons. But I don’t really grasp the thinking behind “Don’t wound Bigfoot and make him mad or he’ll SURELY come and get you”. After all, every year hunters shoot and wound other large, ferocious animals such as bears. And while a few hunters DO get attacked, the vast majority don’t. Given the thousands or even millions of hunters in the woods every year, attacks on hunters by large, wounded prey are very uncommon.

If you shot and wounded a Bigfoot at close range, so that it could see you and know that you had hurt it, you would be in danger. But modern weapons give shooters an amazing reach. If someone was standing on the other side of a valley & shot a Bigfoot, I doubt that “retribution would be swift”. Unless Bigfoot is somehow supernatural and/or telepathic.

Before everybody starts shouting let me make it clear: I am NOT proposing that someone go out and try to wing a Bigfoot. I just think it’s sort of naive to believe that a Bigfoot is more likely to retaliate against a hunter than, say, a grizzly bear is.

“It’s a pity everybody remembers Andre”

“Pity”? Andre’s flat-out unforgettable! The man would drink two cases of beer before a match!

A friend of mine was in a Chinese restaurant once, and Andre came in after a match, and the proprietors refused to let him in, allegedly because his shirt was unbuttoned, but it’s probably because this place had an “all you can eat” special!

Imagine BIGFOOT at an all-you-can-eat joint!!

“I’ve found the beef jerky commercials a total scream.”

I love those.

On someone killing a bigfoot, shame degradation boo and hiss!

They better think twice if they try to do so on purpose and only wound one. In my mind these are powerful creatures and retribution could come swift and permanent. I sure wouldn’t want to make one mad.

I think TV Guide is reflecting what is already an established fact that people are very open minded and willing to respect what others believe to be true whether they themselves do or not.

I’ve found the beef jerky commercials a total scream. My family thinks I’m strange for even being interested in BF, but they find the commercials just as hilarious as I do. What I think is even funnier is that BF is so “willing” to be out in the open for just anyone to find in the woods, esp. taking nap in the middle of a opening. It makes me wonder just how much “research” went into making the advertisments.

The impressive thing about the ‘Six-Million Dollar Man’ BF was how seamlessly they switched from Ted Cassidy to Andre the Giant. The costume made it hard to tell between the two. It’s a pity everybody remembers Andre, but not the man who originated that series’s BF character.

“I think until he is caught or worse killed there will always be skepticism abound on the subject.”

“He”? “He” meaning Lawrence B.F. “Squatchmo” Sasquatch, Esq.? They ain’t catchin’ THAT cat…

And Andre… I miss Andre.
