Default Bigfoot, UFO, Ghost and Lost Treasure TV shows

Has anyone else ever noticed how they never seem to find something? I’m starting to think maybe they’re just putting us on.

Has anyone here ever actually encountered any of these elusive items?

Biggest time suck TV ever created.

I'm going to see if I can get funded for searching for diamonds in my back yard.

These shows SUCK.

"We found this stick and it is fork shaped. One side has snapped inward instead of outward. This can only mean a diamond miner was searching for this same treasure 300 years ago. It's GOT to be here."

I remember back with the first call phones got cameras. All I heard was that we’d finally have real evidence of UFO’s, Bigfoot, ghosts because… because the excuse from so-called eye witnesses was always “I didn’t have a camera with me”.

Everyone has a camera with them now, and the pics are not forthcoming.

And, the amazing quality, automation, and image stabilization should produce a perfect image every time.

A buddy of mine is big into the alien thing.

All he does is watch TV and pretty much believes anything they throw at him.

Why would you ever stop thinking that? I grew up knowing television was pure fiction. It was meant as and used for the purpose of entertainment.

Must have been the late '90's? I remember having heated arguments with my youngest back then about cartoon characters being drawings rather than real people. He'd get so mad, kid cracked me up

It's been a good solid twenty years since I could have a discussion with anyone where they didn't try to use some television plot as evidence to support their logic. So yeah, late 90's is about right, and now we have an epidemic of smooth brained humans who are just as unreal as the television shows they watch.

Too bad really, would love to have a conversation with Mr. Ed... The talking horse

I dont watch any of them, because they never find anything. Otherwise, the show would be one episode.

Far and away the best was "Killing Bigfoot" - a bunch of illiterate Bubba's - one the size of an Abram's tank, wallowing around in the woods with firearms in the dark doing "investigations" that never produced a thing. A broken branch a bent sapling or forest sound sent them into apoplectic fits - they wouldn't have lasted a single night in a Boy Scout Jamboree.

The lead investigator kept whining about wanting one of those military style "Kwanzaa huts" to house his crew and equipment. I kid you not.

Watch Josh Gates and he screams LOOK AT THAT, then they go to 5 minutes of commercials and always nothing of value was found when they come back.
