Bullshit is a good show. I used to watch it when it was on but Comcast switched my stolen Showtime for HBO. I feel the same way about guns as they do which is odd because 2 years ago I would have never pictured myself owning a gun and now I own 3 with many more on the way. It wasn't until I went trap shooting with a buddy of mine that I learned that guns were a good time as long as you use them safely. Then I got robbed and went out and bought a Mossberg 590 and saw an AR at the shop and saved up for one. Now I'm here.

Penn & Teller B.S. is hit or miss.
I know its an entertainment show, but sometimes they are so extremely biased Im supprised they don't feature them on Fox News.

If anyone has tried to look recently, it seems the video has been taken down. Funny, no? Anyway, I believe it can still be found here:

Most people I know who watch the show always say it's "hit or miss" and it's because they are both self-pronounced Libertarians so they call bullshit on the left and the right, haha. I don't know if they are so much biased as they are just staunchly Libertarian and pick topics that they can show in that light.

oh, dont get me wrong, Im all about the Libertarian ideals, but you cannot possibly argue that whatever they call out as B*S* is portrayed in an unbiased way. The show is great, and I've seen just about all of them, but its nothing more than entertainment. Originally Posted by danp

The reality is that Penn and Teller are no different than many other "documentary" filmmakers who are wildly biased to the left... Except that they are wildly biased towards libertarian... And they actually tell the truth rather than making things up...

They tell the truth about their side of the story, while making shit up on the other side. Originally Posted by The Drew

I haven't seen all the episodes... but I haven't seen anything that is blatently and provably untrue...
Obviously you must've been offended by one of their episodes or it's subject matter...
