Bigfoot experts clash amongst TV critics: 'You're ignorant'
by James Hibberd
TV critics took on Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot during a contentious panel at the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour inward Beverly Hills on Thursday.
For those who haven’t seen the show, it’s a fighting similar Syfy’s Ghost Hunters, solely an practiced squad looks for Sasquatch instead of spooks. There are interviews, information crunching, mysterious footprints together with a grouping hunting inward the woods … but no actual bigfoot.
The press tour reporters induce got spent nearly 2 weeks inward a hotel interviewing actors together with executives promoting TV shows. So when Animal Planet rolls out this panel the critics are, understandably, thinking: Show us bigfoot or GTFO.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 critic points out: If these guys genuinely honor bigfoot, such huge word is non going to genuinely remain ease until a regular episode of Finding Bigfoot airs. One asks: Has Animal Planet run out of existent animals to do shows about? Yet some other wonders: First Animal Planet airs a mermaids special, right away this — isn’t Animal Planet damaging its build amongst this stuff?
Animal Planet’s president, Marjorie Kaplan, is goodness humored nigh the situation. “Animal Planet has many shows nigh animals that may travel to a greater extent than familiar to you,” she says. “Finding Bigfoot is an exploration of the surreptitious corners of the planet … There are places on this planet that nosotros know nigh together with places nosotros don’t … New species are beingness constitute all the time.”
She also points out the network’s Mermaids: The Body Found special* got “extraordinarily” high ratings.
The Finding Bigfoot team, however, is far less amused past times the critics’ skepticism. Seems there’s a lot of anecdotal bear witness pointing to the existence of bigfoot together with this crew are truthful believers. (There is to a greater extent than than 1 bigfoot, they say, together with they to a greater extent than oft than non come upward out at nighttime … mostly…)
“I’ve had 1 fifteen feet away growling at me,” declares bigfoot researcher Matt Moneymaker. “So that’s why I intend it’s [unfortunate] when people country they’re non real. They be … I don’t intend people realize how many witnesses at that spot are out at that spot … For those who don’t intend these things exist, [famed primatologist] Jane Goodall thinks they exist** — together with she may know a niggling to a greater extent than nigh it than you lot do.”
“You can’t equate bigfoot amongst mermaids,” bristles bigfoot researcher James “Bobo” Fay. “You’re ignorant of the dependent acre matter.”
So is at that spot enterprise existent bear witness of bigfoot?
Absolutely, they say. There’s all kinds of evidence! Except, you lot know, an actual or sometime bigfoot.
“There’s every variety of bear witness that they exist,” Moneymaker says. “Except bones. Except a carcass.”
* Mermaid trunk non genuinely found
** True
