I didn't know Animal Planet aired Comedy shows.

Just watched Finding Bigfoot: finding evidence..further evidence...something like that

My radar went to high alert when I see the team expert's name is Moneymaker! head of BFRO
Second alarm, heavily edited video even when these clowns in nightvision allegedly have a Bigfoot image on screen. They cut away then go back to the scene after the creature "runs off" but don't show footage of it running off.

Mr. Moneymaker then says bigfoots freeze when seen then run off quickly using trees and brush as cover...
He makes so many unsupported claims about bigfoot behavior when not a single one has been caught on film, none have been observed in the wild (or captivity for that matter) to enable oneto make comments onthe creature's behavior and habits... Bigfoots like to cover up in moss, it is like feather bed...

If they have the elusive Bigfoot on fucking camera, they are sneaking up on it and it runs off, why in hell would you not continue to shoot and get your definitive proof...unless the entire episode is a scam?

It is almost as funny as ghost hunters with their electronic equipment and yelling into empty space as if ghosts are hard of hearing!

...where they're set up with all their equipment in a house late at night and one of the "scientists" says, "Did you hear that? That sounded EVIL!"

My husband and I watched last season just for the laughs. Matt Moneymaker is a bit of nut, isn't he? The other guy with him, "Bobo", isn't much better. My husband and I always ask when they make the crazy claims on this show..."but how does he even know this, where is the proof"? The thing is, I think the so called investigators on this show really do believe in bigfoot.

Purely entertaining, purely speculative and pure BS. But entertaining nonetheless.
