I enjoy watching this show. Obviously, Penn & Teller are an entertaining duo. One doesn't last for 25+ years in Vegas without commanding a consistent audience.
Regarding the message of the show...let's just say the title is both catchy and ironic. Roughly 50% or their claims (maybe more) are nearly as full of bull as their subjects.
The global warming episode is probably their biggest blunder, but it's also a good example of the general outline of all of their episodes: 1. Choose a controversial topic. 2. Find a bunch of fringe nut jobs to exploit. 3. Counter the claims of said nutjobs with common sense and a Dr. or Scientist if helpful.
Go ahead and watch the show. You'll probably enjoy it. If any of the topics are of true interest to you, do your own research and investigation.
The fact that Penn & Teller have appeared on exposed quack Dr. Oz tells you how much integrity they have regarding exposing BS.
