Talk:List of Penn & Teller: Bullshit! episodes

message: I am watching some P&T episodes right now and I noticed the episodes from the DVD rip are not in the same order than they are on the list.  Is this because the episodes are numbered according to "aired date" and not when they were recorded?  Thanks 76.123.165.106 (talk) 06:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I think they might be off.  imdb has episode 4 and 5 reversed from the wikipedia page, for example.  Their original air dates are the same, however, indicating that it's not just a difference from air-date-order to dvd-order.  I can't find where the page's order comes from.  I'm a wikinoob anyway, so I won't change it.  Anyone else want to weigh in?Directedchaos (talk) 08:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the links link to pages for the *episodes*, not the topic? I know there may not be pages for the individual episodes, but thats what I would expect to find if I clicked on one of those links - NOT a link to ESP or a link to Sex. If I wanted to look those up, I wouldn't have started with a penn and teller episode list. Fresheneesz 18:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The links to actual topic articles is helpful, but should be secondary. The episode links should be linked to episode summary articles like it usually is with TV Show articles. DemonWeb 18:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Per the principle of least astonishment, I have removed all the links from the episode titles, as suggested above. Where possible (and relatively easy), I've moved non-redundant links into the episode descriptions, tweaking some wording as needed. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The synopsis for season 5 and part of season 1 are problematic. They use 1st person "we", and lack neutral, encyclopedic writing. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the synopsis found on the official BS website (and that brings up copyright concerns). Would someone mind taking a look at them and consider rewording/revising? Thanks.-Andrew c 03:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I had -tagged this article because of those inappropriately worded synopses, not to mention the outrageous POV in places. (It's fine for P&T to call people "crackpot", but that's neither necessary nor desirable in an NPOV encyclopedia article.) The tone tag was supposedly removed because "this is the same style as just about every 'list of X episodes' page", which even if it were true (which I don't believe) is completely irrelevant. One of the worst errors with editing Wikipedia is the belief that bad writing in one place justifies bad writing in other places. Each and every article that includes POV and chatty text must be individually fixed, even if there are 10,000 of them. (After all, there are several million of us editors, eh?) I have restored the tone tag. It should not be removed without discussion and/or fixing of the problems identified here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Season 6

message: Penn Jillette is on Twitter, and he's sent updates about writing scripts for the upcoming season.  Is this worth including just as a simple bulleted list at the bottom, pending more information about Season 7?
So far he's mentioned these titles:
* "Violent Video Games" (1:29 PM Nov 26th)
* "Astrology" (7:02 PM Nov 26th and 1:30 PM Dec 2nd)
* "Orgasms" (1:30 PM Dec 2nd)
* "2012" (3:00 PM Dec 3rd and 3:33 PM Dec 3rd)

message: Well we did it last season so let's do it with this season
So far what's been revealed is
* "Cheerleaders"
* "Self-Esteem"
Both at this link 13:40, 30 January 2010
Now as has been pointed out before Penn's a writer and host, true he doesn't get to decide what would get on the air but perhaps it's worth noting somewhere here.Father Time89 (talk) 07:43, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The episode summary says "Offers criticism of claims that the Bible is historically and factually accurate, as well as the attempt to turn sacred text into scientific material and general hypocrisy within The Church about the matter.", with the phrase "The Church" linking to the Catholic Church article.  I have not seen the episode myself, so someone who has can certainly simply inform me what it addresses, but since the Catholic Church does not necessarily consider the bible historically and factually accurate, nor treat it as a scientific text, it seems strange to criticize specifically them for it.  Should it link to a different group of Christians, or did they really try to criticize specifically Catholicism for this? Because that seems a bit silly to me.Farsight001 (talk) 07:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that episode did not specifically point the finger at the catholic church. Rather the opposite in fact. --OpenFuture (talk) 11:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
