Very Excited – The Skeptologists
Posted by skeptologic on April 9, 2008
Welcome to Skeptologic.
When I heard (back in January) that Brian Dunning from Skeptoid was going to produce a pilot for a skeptical TV show called The Skeptologists, I was very excited. Then recently when the cast was announced, I was beside myself. It’s like Brian has assembled a team of skeptical superheroes! Not only did they get the host of The Skeptics’ Guide, Steven Novella, but also Michael Shermer and Phil Plait. I am so far unfamiliar with the other cast members, but can’t wait to get to know them if the show gets picked up. I think it has a really good chance. It would be a nice counterpoint to all the nonsense shows on TV these days, like Ghost Hunters (bleh!) and many others. The success of shows like Mythbusters and Bullshit have shown us that these types of shows are viable. They now have a Facebook page for the show, go check it out. The picture of them drinking wheatgrass juice is hilarious! I wish Brian and everyone associated with the show the absolute best! You have been my inspiration to start this blog and hopefully do more for skepticism in the future.
