Finding Bigfoot: Season 2 Update
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on June 30th, 2011
James “Bobo” Fay, cast member of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot is also a personal friend of mine, as is Cliff Barackman.
Yesterday, he posted the following on my facebook wall:
Gettin out next week with bart and the week after that w/ paul graves. We’re doin a texas episode so it would be good to see u on our day off if we’re anywhere near you. Hope you and yours are well.
I replied:
You guys are going to do a Texas episode of Finding Bigfoot? Any idea of what part of the state and when. I would definitely come out wherever to hang out!
Bobo then replied:
we don’t know where yet. we need a piece of evidence we can analyze, video or casts with pics etc… and then we base the rest of the episode off of that. we just found out sat we were going to do more. we knew they would do a season 2 but they were talking about late oct or early 2012. now we’re gonna start 1st week of august. i’ll let you know when we find out more. but we’re gonna do 10 reg episodes and then a 1 hr and 2 hour special. we’ll we done by thanksgiving.
I replied:
So 10 more episodes or 4 more to make a total of 10?
And Bobo’s reply was:
We just did a 1 hr recap special making 7 for 1st season and then 10 more regular plus a 1 and 2 hour specials for a total of 19.
Apparently, the Q & A gathering filmed last Sunday, June 26th, will be a bonus seventh episode to finish this initial first season.
Then, it looks like we can look forward to a twelve episode 2nd season.

OK gang, I don’t care if you like MM or the rest of the gang or not. If you’re a Bigfoot hunter, Cryptozoologist or just interested in the process, the only thing you should be concerned with is hoping the show makes it for season two. I am in total agreement that the show has got to stop making or jumping to wild conclusions without any evidence to back it up. It needs actual scientific research done on any evidence that is collected. Be it urine, feces, blood, casts, whatever.
I want this show to work, I don’t care if Donald Duck is in charge. Whoever is producing this show needs to figure out, and fast, how to make it more realistic and credible. Or people will leave it in droves, if they haven’t already. I don’t care who’s telling the truth about ratings from last season. I don’t care if MM is in it to make money as long as he does good research in the process. Some one said that Ghost hunters have never shown a ghost. That is in fact incorrect. There have been multiple videos of objects moving by themselves, shadows, EVP’s and unexplained noises. Are they faked? Maybe, but at least they show something. At least they do a good job of scientifically, to the best of their ability, trying to debunk first. Finding Bigfoot needs that debunking, otherwise it is no better than hearing a tale told by some old uneducated hermit that lives in the woods. Get it right guys. I’m rooting for you to do the right thing. Lets bring “Sasquatch” into the limelight so that someday maybe mainstream science will get involved. Stop fighting and arguing and just do it right. Make the producers see that faked evidence or team dynamics is not what we want to see. Better no evidence at all and a team that proves sightings wrong, than wild assumptions and imagined expertise. Thanks for letting me vent.
Me and my wife were involved in the New Mexico episode?…do you know if that is going to show on episode 2? they shot up here before they went to Utah and shot that episode.
