Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and the curious. If you loved Nathan for You or The Rehearsal, start here.
The mood: Light and funny, eye-opening.
The pace: 8 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.

This daring original series stars postmodern bad boys of magic Penn & Teller as they question many of our culture's most cherished and widely held beliefs. From the truth about palm readings and TV psychics to the reality behind Feng Shui and Ouija boards, the archly comic masters of misdirection host this eye-opening analysis of the middle-ground between perception and reality.
