Chasing UFOs (2012)
National Geographic has hit a new low
National Geographic – deep six this show and try to redeem yourselves before you ruin your once respected name!
UFO Hunters was bad verging on psychotic.
Ancient Aliens took preconceived ideas to entirely new levels so far out of reality that their final episode should have been to visit the wizard and get a brain.
The new evolution, Chasing UFO's, is not even worth watching. This show could take a true believer and turn them into a hard core skeptic. There is just no basis in reality/science/research anywhere in this show. I truly cannot come up with any redeeming features for this show. It is as if they gave some failed actors a poorly written script and told them to wing it. I have tried to give it a chance, but three episodes are enough to make my call on this one. This show is pathetic.
If this is the direction educational channels (as I once considered National Geographic) are going, we are in for serious problems.
Finding Bigfoot (2011)
More fiction than reality
This is another attempt at a show that has the potential to be good, but fails due to bending evidence to match preconceived ideas. Why do I say this? Here is an example: In the first show, one of the researchers does a "sasquatch call". They say, it sounds just like a squatch! In the next show, the "sasquatch call" sounds completely different. Not a little bit, but entirely 180 degrees different. The first call was deep sounding. The second sounded like a man with his privates in a bear trap! The comment after the second call, "Wow, that sounded exactly like a squatch!".
My biggest problem with this is, how can they say this is how a completely unproven creature sounds? Next, in every show they manage to find a "squatch" with the thermal cams. Now if this is true, why in the world would they not set out camera traps to try to get a conclusive photo??? Thermal cams are VERY expensive! You could buy a boat load of motion sensor game cams for the same price. I believe the reason they do not employ them is it would cause crew members to be photographed too often posing as a bigfoot.
This is another show going down the same road as UFO Hunters - Don't confuse me with the facts, I already know everything.
Waste of time.
