   #1 - Bigfoot

   S1:E11/7/1994

   Since 1884, Bigfoot has provoked controversy within the scientific community as the most-sighted mythical beast in the world. Is he real, or merely a popular legend passed through the generations? Venture deep into the Pacific Northwest on this amazing search for Bigfoot, which cuts through the dense forest of dubious sightings, commercialization, and outright fraud to uncover the truth about the great ape-like creature. Tracing reports back thousands of years, this highly entertaining and enlightening program examines the mystery of the beast the Indians knew only as "Sasquatch." Narrated by Leonard Nimoy, A&E presents the most comprehensive investigation of Bigfoot ever produced. Utilizing an innovative, high-tech approach, today's anthropologists offer a fresh perspective on hard evidence as presented through archival footage, computer analysis, and modern eyewitness video.
