I can't believe I only just found out about this.
Back in April, they announced that the show was done, and they are moving over to the Discovery channel, with a new show. I imagine you could say they didn't have much else to say with the show, but Penn has talked about quite a few ideas for episodes which I think would have been great, that they never got around to, including the bull**** of Bull**** (unless I missed that one.) Their new show is Penn and Teller: Tell a Lie, in which they present ten stories, one of which is a lie, and will be presented infront of a live audeience. Gotta say, doesn't sound that interesting to me, at least not compared to Bull****. Oh well, I'm sure I'll watch it, at least the first episode or two.

Oh well that's too bad.
I didn't agree with everything on BS, but I enjoyed it.

Maybe they'll eventually launch an American version of Fool Us

My understanding is that Season 8 (now ended) was the last "Bull" season.
They have an Australian series, up to Episode 2 as of this date, called "Fool Us". It involves Brit and Aussie magicians performing in a studio with a live audience, with Penn & Teller in the judges' seats. If the magicians can fool Penn & Teller (if they can't guess the method) they win an appearance in Vegas with P&T. So far, they've been fooled a time or two, and they've been gentlemen (and in my view they've kept "the magician's code") about not revealing too much about their guesses about the methods. ("Would you be upset if we asked to examine the dice?") Fool Us on WIKIPEDIA Segments available on Youtube |

Was just thinking, I should have titled this thread like they used to say on Penn radio, Bulls*hit
The * being a clap, though that would probably get censored eventually, so probably just Bulls hit.

It all seems pretty UK based, based on what I've read and what I've seen of the episodes so far (the actual episodes, not just youtube clips). It's filmed in London. Produced by ITV. The link you provided lists the performers and the performers are almost entirely UK based magi, plus a Canadian and a Frenchman or two. Has there even been a single Australian based performer on it? BTW, there are a couple of threads about the performances in "The Workers" forum: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewf......2&320227

Not a problem.

I'm re-watching a bunch of old episodes on my Showtime On-Demand right now while I study.
I've already referenced two episodes in class this quarter

Kind of like when he was talking about his appearance in "Num3ers" and he continuously pronounced it "Numb three ers."

I think it was called Keep Talking, and I seem to remember Joey Bishop was one of the panelists. But I could be wrong. If Danny allows, I'm going to check out Google now. edit: well I was right about Joey Bishop, but wrong about the premise of the show. Oh wait, now I know--there was a much more recent NPR show with that premise. Can't remember the name of it.
