Hey look what we caught!!!

History channel has once again produced a steaming pile of what they call "programming".
I guess we should start calling it THC (like they did with The Learning Channel when it was changed to TLC when they stopped all their "learning" programming.)
THC's latest gem is "Bigfoot: Captured" which is just a pile of crap that combines the sh*tty styles of "The Blair Witch Project", "Cloverfield" and their own crappy "Megladon" and Mermaid mockumentories!

What a waste of time and money!

I am a legend in my own mind!

Boy, when will they be awarded an Emmy for this ground breaking crap?

Baiting a big metal cage with doughnuts mixed with maple syrup, chocolate syrup, nuts and raisins....frickin TRAIL MIX!!!

Then they "suddenly" catch one (nice caveman makeup) and after some time they claim it's "singing"???

Oh, and then it "escapes" because someone supposedly didn't lock the door?

What a piece of sh*t!!!!

Of course they caught it, fed it donuts, recorded it singing but somehow failed to collect any dna samples. That does sound like a "steaming pile of dog crap".

I am glad I didn't waste any time watching it. LOL. I bet they had all of the "break away" commercials just before something cool is supposed to happen.

I can imagine how this always happens.

Team 1: plans trip to scout for Big Foot.

Team 2: hears about Team 1's plans and decides to also scout in nearby area, thinking maybe Team 1 has a tip on a "hot spot".

Team 1 leader makes his "squatch" call sound and clacks 2 logs together "clack! Clack!"

Team 2 hears the "call" and answers back, thinking they are answering a real "squatch"

Both teams get goose bumps and lots of great "Audio Proof" but neither team ever sees a damn thing.

History Channel, discovery channel, and the learning channel. Oh and soon to be national geographic channel...

Down the tubes playing soap operas for rednecks. Swamp people, Orange County choppers, duck dynasty, deadliest catch, etc.

I forgot which channel I was watching.

The ads they had for the prior weeks made it sound like it was a "national geographic" style of research presentation.

Boy, did they miss the frickin mark on this one!

Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention was that their "bigfoot" was tossing watermelon sized boulders into their campsite like you would toss a bag of empty cans. You can almost NOT see the cheap CGI they used for the boulders. Between that and the "Harry and the Hendersons" makeup and prosthetics, it was a joke!
