5/5 Excellent.

If you like Penn & Teller, and have any familiarity with this show, you'll definitely want to own this modern classic.

3/5 variable
  by litefoot (CA, south)
Entertaining as always: a mixed season, with some hits and some misfires.

First, forgo new agers for a while. They are absurd to the point of being impaired. Season six seems fatigued. Sensitivity, dolphins and the like echo earlier episodes. Balance becomes an issue for this season, with pet peeves apparently working their way into some material--the Being Green episode was off kilter and strident.

It would be good to see more shows about things we accept as mainstream but do in fact have some faulty joints. Stranger Danger made a bold point that child protection has become Manichean. The series really hits target with episodes like these.

The writers might consider lightening up on ideology and focusing on deconstructing things we accept too easily (such as the prison system, litigation culture [the root of political correctness], dumbed-down reality TV and the like).

Certainly there are enough contradictions out there to re-energize the series.


5/5 Another Great Season!
  by Techie Girl (Marietta, GA USA)
After five great seasons of the perfect show for thinking people, I was doubtful that P&T could keep up the editorial quality for season 6. Fortunately, I was delightfully mistaken.

You'd think they'd have run out of good subject matter, but that's not the case. This season they tackle such evils as the war on porn, new age medicine, the "green" lifestyle, and sensitivity training.

Who else can hold up the collective American condition so effectively, yet be so entertaining?
