Review: Best Evidence: Bigfoot

This special, which I give 3 stars despite the skepticism in the show, wasn't all that bad. However, eyewitness accounts are dismissed by Dr. John Turtle as people WANTING to see Sasquatch, as well as the footprint evidence being scrutinized by Dr. David Begun, a paleoanthropologist in Canada, as well as examination by Dr. Nina Jablonski. The special seems to be a bit unfair and unbalanced when it comes to the evidence scrutiny, but what are you gonna do? The two bright spots are Dr. Jeff Meldrum and Dr. John Bindernagel, who are excellent as always. A recreation of the Patterson Movie by an actor in a Bigfoot suit seems, on the surface, to be a match with the subject of the film. The conclusion of the study, which Dr. Meldrum participated in, seems to conclude that at least some aspects of the walk can be replicated by a human, but not all. Still, the skeptical viewpoint is overshadowing the viewpoint of the film being a film of a real Sasquatch, which should not bother anyone in the Sasquatch community because the film is still, admittedly, questionable. Incidentally, a lot of the Rick Noll/M.K. Davis enhancements on the film are being used on the show. Dick Smith, an Oscar-winning makeup artist, believes the film to be a hoax. The John Chambers rumor is examined as well by Mr. Smith and he does not believe that Chambers is responsible for the alleged costume in the film. All in all, it was pretty fair, to be quite honest, even with a little skepticism thrown in.
