Finding Bigfoot Finale
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on May 25th, 2018
Whether you liked Finding Bigfoot or not, there’s no denying that it brought the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch to a wide, general audience.
The series finale airs this Sunday, nearly 7 years to the day when the first episode aired on May 29, 2011 on Animal Planet.
(Sunday, May 27 at 8/7c) on Animal Planet
The team of investigators returns for the 100th episode! In a two-hour “Monster Week” special, the team travels to Willow Creek California to help celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the most famous piece of Bigfoot footage, the Patterson Gimlin film. The discovery of a new copy of the film brings forth the biggest Bigfoot discovery in decades, showing the clearest image of the creature in 50 years. Immediately following is a one-hour special that features the “Finding Bigfoot” investigators and crew as they share their own stories and experiences together which spans a decade.

I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
I have to disagree. I would say “In Search Of…” and “The Six Million Dollar Man”, among others, introduced Bigfoot to a wide, general audience. Since then we’ve had “MonsterQuest” and “Destination Truth”, among others. No one has yet produced new evidence good enough to make up for the absence of Leonard Nimoy and that spooky, funky music from the 1970’s!
Definitely In Search Of that got that ball rolling…it led to all kinds of spin offs and led the way for the rest.
I will agree though…no matter what you think of MoneyMaker and the crew…they have mainstreamed Bigfoot, though I’m of the mind that other shows like MonsterQuest and Destination Dummy added their charm too.
And let’s not forget Jack Links…
I hate to see it go. It was fun but after hitting every hot spot for seven years and not finding much to go on got stale. The interplay between them with their differing points of view led to the show’s classic moments. Thanks to you guys for keeping us entertained all these years!
i loved monster quest…. always loved seeing the witness videos etc…. man.. i loved that stuff.
sad they’re done but happy… because for F**k sakes, they never found anything… or at least they never showed it.
but then this speaks to the nature of tv making… and then the nature of just how rare seeing one of these things is… if they are real..
seeing one AND getting it on film?
like winning the lottery 2x.
