Bullshitting again

Penn and Teller's Bullshit is a good show, but Penn Jillette spoils it with unnecessary swearing.

It's just completely pointless.
 
They explained it in the first episode though.
Calling people "asshole" is not libelous, at least according to them.

Well, yeah. You can call somone an "asshole" or that they're "spouting bullshit" because those are opinions, but directly calling someone a liar is libelous. So that makes (some) sense to some of the swearing.

But it doesn't expaling "fuck" and "shit" being peppered throughout the show. Pen and Teller (usually) are fairly "clean" in their magic and acts so I suspect Showtime wants them to curse a lot more than they normally would.

I don't mind the cursing, personally.
 
^Can't get it any other way?

I could go to my parents and probably watch it OnDemand, or I *guess* I could get Showtime (and thus OnDemand.) I looked on-line and couldn't find any (legit) ways to watch it. Guess it makes sense Sho wouldn't stream their episodes.

As for Torrents. I've not the patience for them. Sorry, I don't have the better part of the week to download something.

If you have Netflix or plan on it at some point they do have the DVD sets on their Instant Watch section for viewing.

You're watching a show called Bullshit, and you're bothered by the swearing? :confused:

Thank you.

I downloaded seasons 1-3 in no times, there aren't that many episodes. I have seasons 1-4 on VHS (those tape things) but I was missing the gun episode! I wanted the Jefferson quote.
 
Ok, I've seen three episodes of this new season the NASA episode, the Sleep Episode and the dolphin episode.

All great stuff. I really liked the "subject" they got for the Sleep episode. That guy was great! :lol:
