Schlocktoberfest XIV – Day 9: In Search Of…Bigfoot

You wanna go see Wizards again this weekend? I heard there’s a trailer for a new Sci-Fi movie that’s coming out next month that’s supposed to be pretty good.

Cool, In Search Of is on. Let’s grok Spock.

In Search Of…Bigfoot (April 28, 1977)

The Entire Episode:

*Spoilers Throughout*

What’s This About: An old TV show from my youth where Spock was basically a precursor to Mulder and Scully.

Here are some of my observations as I watched the film:

I figured they’d get to Bigfoot on this show eventually.
This B footage looks like it can be easily cannibalized into a Bigfoot movie.

Bigfoot really is everywhere since the Bionic Man fought him last year.
“Many people do not believe in Bigfoot, but a lot of people do.” Way to tie it all up with the logic there Spock.
How’d they stack those totem poles so high?
Spock looks like Spider-Man with that city skyline behind him.
According to this evolution timeline, we went from ape to Zappa to ape to John Oates to Sean Connery. Makes sense to me.
That Sasquatch emblem over this dude’s head is clearly a ripoff.
I love watching the Patterson video, which is why it looks like they’re not gonna show it.
Bigfoot witnesses all seem like they live on the same street, if not the same house.

Styx and Be Bop Deluxe are at the Palladium in October, me neither – I’d rather save my money for when the Love Gun Tour is at the Garden or the Spectrum. A fucking four-night cut of The Godfather 1 & 2? Shit yes we’re watching that. I gotta go down to Arcadian and get that new ELO album now that I think of it.
Two lumberjacks alone in the woods? You know what the waitress from the boathouse would call them.
OK, according to one of the lumberjack’s sketches of what he saw – I think he needs to see some of the Maplethorpe collection. I think he’d really enjoy his work.

If I ate an entire bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, I’d have indi…gestion too. Since when is Shirley Partridge hawking crepes?
They had to test these obvious fakes? They look like dog shit.
Of course Bigfoot has to be killed in order to prove its existence. You can’t just believe in something invisible without any proof at all ya know.
This fucking Doctor just put a bounty on Bigfoot on a nationally syndicated TV show like he’s Reggie Dunlop going after Tim McCracken.
Most of the other scientists are against the hunting and shooting completely. So fuck you even more Dr. Oily Hair.
Can’t have a Bigfoot story without the American Indians chiming in reminding us how much we’re conquering pieces of shit. Thank you for the update Wildflower Lifeoftheparty.
The pacific northwest does look nice.

Christ, all these commercials for stomach medicines are starting to make me nervous. I hope I don’t grow up to have a bad digestive system – I bet that would suck. Pepto & fried chicken, Alka Seltzer & steakhouse, Tums & Burger Chef; is Madison Avenue trying to tell us something?
That kind of scientific ending monologue is why you’re always the go-to Science Officer Leonard.
Fuck, I thought this show was an hour. Whoops.
