Watch Aliens Aliens debunked and read Jason Colavito's reviews of this crap!

I am highly educated, and I find the show entertaining. I think roughly 90% of what they talk about is basically a science fiction writers wet dream, but still entertaining nonetheless :)

@Maya - Why? If the same old mock/ridicule/discredit/dismiss rigamarole is the best the OP can do too...not really worth the time...

I agree, i wouldnt say that i am highly educated or something, but sensible enough to know that they are talking about really big "what if"s.
I watched the debunked docu, but the debunker isnt without an agenda himself either, besides i was never convinced by Ancient Aliens to start with.

I was disappointed at the lack of diversity or depth of the subject material on Ancient Aliens, but i still like the show a lot, it is still one of the rare shows out there that deal with the Alien topics.
Shows like Through the Wormhole and Curiosity, Nova etc., all deal with it in very small doses, so i am happy to tune in every week for a new AA episode for my Alien fix.

They connect the dots and make it sound plausible, anyway!

Don't assume everyone is incredibly gullible just because you are.

Entertaining stuff. Some of the ¨REAL¨ history stuff is interesting. Love the speakers. Begs the question, does everything have to be proven scientific fact? Just fun stuff to stimulate the imagination & ask, What if?
Certainly nothing I teach to my science students, but sometimes I´ll bring up some of the episodes for them. Making sure they understand this stuff is almost pure conjecture. Fun to see hear their thoughts & beliefs. Makes for a stimulating conversation.

This show is for the un-educated simpletons that will buy into this garbage.

My conventional education is 2 Bachelor degrees. However, when I went to college/University; I didn't go for a degree, I earned an education. There is a difference.

Asking "What if?" & "How?" advances our understanding of the world around us.

Watching Ancient Aliens gives me information I wouldn't get any other way. For example, Pyramid in Alaska, potentially more Pyramids in Egypt, Yamaguni, Sunken city in India found, water Erosion on the Sphinx, and ect. . .

Ancient Aliens is the focus of the show and the marketing portion of keeping the show on. Yet, Ancient Aliens has elements of ancient civilization in it. For example, evidence of an atomic blast in India, Missing Pyramids (Alaska & Egypt), Carved out underground living space for a large population of humans (Turkey & China), helicopter & light bulb hieroglyphs in Egypt; Skulls in Peru (I think) which are larger than ours, weigh more, have openings for nerves/blood vessels, and ect. . .

Ancient Aliens is the only show with such a variety. There is usually at least one thing in each episode that I didn't know or an update on previous material.

The nightly news is for the uneducated and is laughable to me. Same format every day: Flood/Fire/Earthquake, Terrorist, Police abuse of power problems, then a dog or cat that saved its owner's life.

Agreed. Any more, the nightly news (and shows like Good Morning America for that matter) seem designed to mostly just reaffirm that it's viewers are simply lapping up what they're being told to believe.

Those shows are generally chocked full of stories intended to appeal to their viewers senses of patriotism and/or religious beliefs (so that those beliefs can be used to manipulate the viewers perceptions of the stories)...and then as you said...the occasional story about the cute animal for a dose of the warm fuzzies.

It's simply astounding these days to think of the number of people who actually think they understand what's happening in the world, and that THEY are the ones who are "in the know"...when it's obvious they've never considered the possibility that they might be being manipulated to just go along with what people in perceived positions of authority are telling them to believe.

Should it be any surprise that those same daily and nightly "news" shows ALSO have the occasional story intended to imply (with a wink/nod/eye-roll) that it's viewers should mock/dismiss anyone who considers things that contradict the official story they're pushing...like AA theory for example...as being possible? It shouldn't if you're not one of their "regular" demographic viewers anyway.
