"...'Bigfoot' ('Sasquatch')  sightings have greatly increased over the past year, including screeching sounds and fetid smells. Multiple sightings, coupled with advanced technologies, have convinced the original 'Finding Bigfoot' team, led by the 'Bigfoot Field Research Organization' (Bfro), including Matt Moneymaker, Bobo Fay, Cliff Barackman and Ranae Holland , to get back on the road and into the woods for their biggest investigations to date with the best evidence the team has ever had..."

Maybe this time, though. In “Finding Bigfoot: The Search Continues,” the “Finding Bigfoot” gang is out to — well, you get it.

Here’s why: Bigfoot sightings have greatly increased over the past year as the U.S. has been in lockdown due to Covid-19, according to Discovery.

Although they haven’t, to my knowledge, found much convincing evidence of Sasquatch, the self-described “Squatchers” of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot will continue the hunt when a new season of the series begins Nov. 9 at 9pm Et/Pt. At the start of the season’s eight new episodes, the team is supposedly “hot on the trail of what they believe to be the world’s largest Sasquatch.” That enormous Bigfoot is the subject of the two-hour season premiere, which takes Bigfoot Field Research Organization (Bfro) president Matt Moneymaker, researchers James “Bobo” Fay and Cliff Barackman, and skeptical scientist Ranae Holland, off to Alaska. … Continue reading →

Animal Planet has announced they've renewed their documentary series Finding Bigfoot for a third season. That's a little strange since many sources believe that the show is currently airing its fourth season. Apparently, Animal Planet has their own way of breaking up their episodes.

Here are the details:

The Search For Bigfoot Continues...

Animal Planet'S Hit Series "Finding Bigfoot" Renewed For Third Season

-- Season Two Premieres Delivered 1.2 Million P2+ Viewers --

(New York, New York) - After setting foot in 33 states and five countries, the Finding Bigfoot team is still feverishly on the hunt for the elusive Sasquatch. As the evidence continues to mount, investigators Cliff Barackman, James "Bobo" Fay, Ranae Holland and Matt Moneymaker are closer than ever to uncover the truth behind the hairy beast. And with Finding Bigfoot hunting down...

Two eyewitness accounts drew the "Finding Bigfoot" team to Greenbrier River, West Virginia. Many residents claim to have seen a sasquatch in the area, but one teen had pictures of the creature. This would have been impressive enough had a couple not had what is perhaps the most elusive thing to find: physical evidence of the existence of the creature.

Matt Moneymaker was very excited by their find. "These are squatchers -- are very fine hairs," he said of the hairs collected by the couple. "It’s the first time the hairs were found where they had a sighting; where two witnesses saw it."

The team sent off the hair samples to the lab for examination, but the results came back inconclusive. In fact, all of their investigations in Greenbrier River proved inconclusive, but that does little to deter the determined.

Is this show where people are really going to...

Some believe that there is a large, hairy, bipedal ape-manlike creature skulking about in the woods, occasionally being seen by humans but generally staying out of sight. If true, that's quite an accomplishment, since the bigfoot, or sasquatch, has been reported to be as large as 8 feet tall.

Others believe you're more likely to find a unicorn in Central Park.

On Sunday, Nov. 11, new episodes of "Finding Bigfoot" return on Animal Planet. The show sends four adventurers on a search for definitive evidence one way or the other. They are Matt Moneymaker, founder and president of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization; biologist and bigfoot skeptic Ranae Holland; investigator Cliff Barackman; and fisherman James "Bobo" Fay. They travel from small Southern towns to remote forests of the Pacific Northwest and the wilds of Alaska in search of an answer to the bigfoot mystery.

Barackman bases his confidence that the creature exists on the persistence of evidence.

Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot," one of the network's all-time top-performing series, is heading into its third season in November with 11 new episodes and two specials during which its team of investigators continues to search for Sasquatch. But with shows like this and the network's speculative documentary "Mermaids: The Body Found," some wonder whether Animal Planet may be hurting its reputation with such outlandish concepts.

Network president Marjorie Kaplan tells reporters at Thursday's (Aug. 2) Television Critics Association panel that she doesn't think so.

"We spend a lot of time talking to our audience," she says. "The audience has voted with their remotes."

The "Mermaids" docudrama led to a great deal of confusion among some viewers who thought it was the real deal. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration even released an official statement on the matter.

"No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found. Why, then, do they occupy...

TV critics took on Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot during a contentious panel at the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour in Beverly Hills on Thursday.

For those who haven’t seen the show, it’s a bit like Syfy’s Ghost Hunters, only an expert team looks for Sasquatch instead of spooks. There are interviews, data crunching, mysterious footprints and a group hunting in the woods … but no actual bigfoot.

The press tour reporters have spent nearly two weeks in a hotel interviewing actors and executives promoting TV shows. So when Animal Planet rolls out this panel the critics are,...

At a time when the state of film is in flux, the quality of televised programming available to the viewing public has, thankfully, never been higher. Take a step back and you'll see that we're truly living in a golden age of television, where there's something for everyone and it's often no less than very good.

It's almost impossible for certain types of movies to be made these days. More precisely, it's almost impossible for movies of certain budgets to be made. Studios don't like to take chances and prefer to "go big or go home," which means they'd rather spend $100 million on blockbusters by Hollywood's Bays or Bruckheimers than $10 million on character pieces by talented rookies. This business model not only abandons a whole swath of mid-range movies, it also leaves a lot of quality talent with no creative outlet. This is where the world of contemporary television comes in.

Ready to kick off 2012 with some real-life adventuring - from the comfort of your own home? Then you won't want to miss the Season 2 premiere of Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot", for which we have a new promo video and four clips!

The episode is entitled "Baby Bigfoot", and here's the synopsis:

Premiering Sunday, January 1, 10:00 Pm E/P

The Bigfoot research team heads to New York to investigate video of an alleged baby Bigfoot. When locals report activity in the neighboring woods, the teams tries a new search method in hopes of finding Bigfoots near the Big Apple.

Since no one apparently was able to locate a viable Sasquatch during the first season of Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot", the series is returning in the new year (on January 1st to be exact) for another crack at tracking down the beast.

From the Press Release:

For centuries eyewitness accounts and colorful stories have fueled rumors that large, furry, human-like animals have roamed the forests in North America and other continents. These legendary creatures have come to be known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. The folklore around Bigfoot has many doubters and many true believers, and passionate groups like the Bigfoot Field Research Organization (Bfro) have formed to investigate stories, analyze evidence, and strengthen their hypotheses of these elusive beings.

Over the course of 10 hour-long episodes, Animal Planet’s "Finding Bigfoot" returns for a brand-new season on Sunday, January 1, 2012, at 10 Pm (Et/Pt) for further expeditions to investigate reports of the mysterious Bigfoot.
