It would be hard to pidgeon hole the show Bull Shit. Perhaps one could call it a comedy reality infotainment documentary. One thing for sure is that their Showtime Moday night show which takes an honest look at cults, groups, ideas and concepts will never be broadcast on network TV.

In the same spirit as Penn and Teller's comedic expose' of magic tricks the magical due will take on Homeland Security and fear machine next Monday.

Recently they unmercifully exposed College, Mysticism, AA, religion and the bible.

BTW the show is called Bull Shit since the lawyers said they can't be sued when they call an institution or individual full of shit but they are liable if they use words like fraud.

I find the show like Snopes on steroids and laughiing gas.
Try to see it if you can.

Wait until they meet up with some real lawyers.

God, I wish I could see this but we just shut off the cable for summer. Hope it comes out on DVD.

The first season is available on DVD. The show about alien abductions was hilarious, but a little spooky when you realize that these people are allowed to mingle with the rest of us.
They lost me on the show about second-hand cigarette smoke, however, when they got a little too pompous.
