Penn & Teller Bull****: Dolphins - 07/10/08

Showtime, 9:00pm CDT

In episode 604, the cultural mumbo jumbo regarding dolphins is exposed, including New Age-style beliefs about the animals' evolutionary superiority (bunk, say dolphin experts) and the nonsense about dolphin "energy" believed by many.
Should be fun.

Next week: Sleep, Inc. Hmm, I hope it doesn't put me to sleep.

In two weeks the episode I'm most looking forward to: Being Green

The season will be at least ten episodes. Newly announced episodes 8-10:

8. Stranger Danger
9. World Peace
10. Good Ol' Days (That sounds good. I hate it when people try to tell me things used to be so much better. Few of those people would go back and live in those days and if they could and did they'd beg to come back within a week or the first time they reached for their nonexistent cell phone.)

This one should be a rather straight-forward "then there's this asshole - let's make fun of him" episode.

Episodes 9 and 10 sound really good.

I hope it's better than last week's NASA love-fest.

They add a nice tang to tuna when they get caught in the nets.

Is the tang left over from the NASA episode?

It was like shooting dolphins in a barrell (as reflected by P&T's 'vacation') but that was a pretty damn funny episode.

I love how they worked in Sedona. Any chance they get to bash Sedona makes me laugh.

There are some crazy people out there! I'd be shocked by the dolphin guru lady, but she's already had so many people take her 6-week program! Hell, I'd fashion myself a dolphin guru if I thought I could actually make a living from it.

I'm pretty surprised that P&T didn't find someone with a King of the Hill type of experience where the dolphin decided he wanted to do a little bit more than just swim with the humans. I would say that is a show of restraint from them.

What the fuck is wrong with people? I can't believe there are really people like that out there.

It is about time someone did this. Dolphins have been getting a free ride for far too long!
