My husband and I watch it regularly. It's very biased, but still very interesting.

I loved the global warming episode.

Will you environmentalists sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide? It's all over the place, even in out drinks and baby foods.

The Global Warming episode was the worst of all because it is a total bull<img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> attack on our good cause.

Penn and Teller's Bull<img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> is a good show. Although Penn goes on his cussing rants sometimes. xD

However, it's main focus is on the facts. I haven't watched every episode, but from what I've seen it's only biased if you consider reality a bias.

I think the show is pretty entertaining.

Penn & Teller aren't scientists, and they don't pretend to be. And they are biased. They've admitted this themselves and, hey, at least they're open about their bias and don't try and act like their being completely objective. So that's something. So while I think it's entertaining to see them debunk some really silly stuff that people believe, I also don't really take all they say at 100% face value. Still entertaining stuff though!

Actually it was more of an attack on people that jump on the global warming bandwagon without knowing anything and are just spitting out the same tired lines. (and want to ban dihydrogen monoxide, or water, as it would seem). IMHO
