I like this show. It's fun, has some interesting points and ventures into a lot of unexplained stuff. The other reviewers kinda give Joe a "stupid man" persona. Having listened to his Podcast for quite a while I can tell you that that is not true. I do however feel that he is "acting" as that is the persona that people know him for, and probably what he was hired to do. In response to a previous reviewer stating that all of Joe Rogan's merits being martial arts related that is simply not true, he is also a very successful comedian, which is what made him famous. He has always been involved in the martial arts, which combined with his comedy is why Dana White chose him to be the voice of MMA.
That being said, the show in it's self is pretty entertaining. They do talk about weird things. And they do have a lot of what may seem to be pseudo-science. That is the nature of the show, he's "investigating" things on the fringe. He couldn't possibly know everything about the things that he is talking to these people about. The ones that do choose to be interviewed are "experts" in their area of choice. While Rogan is just a fan of the strange and unusual.
I don't expect to have a lot of hard science in these episodes. That's not what the show is really about. It's about the fringe and unexplained. I would doubt a real scientist would bother even looking into the topics talked about on the show.
However, in my opinion he does ask a lot of interesting "what if" questions. You have to be able to think out of the box, and Joe is also not afraid to call BS on something that is just too out there. Especially when he asks his guests to show proof of something and all the can show for evidence is some story that some guy told some other guy that told their (the guest's) best friend.
Given that this is not supposed to be a hard facts in-depth type show, for what it is it's an interesting way to kill an hour and learn about some of the more off the wall things that people study.

Each episode takes you on a journey (in his badass challenger) through a multitude of perspectives on several controversial topics and ideas which are being explored by a number of credible and unhinged believers and skeptics. Joe Rogan hosts the show with the same prowess as he does all of his ventures. Rogan excels at calling people's bullshit while remaining unbiased until all available information is collected on the subject. The some of the subject matter is beaten like a dead horse in other reality TV shows, however its always good to have a new set of eyes on the subject. When Ducan and Joe are riffing about the topic at hand it is great. Duncan is a nice addition to show's overall presentation. If you enjoy Joe's other project's you'll enjoy this show. If you don't, quit crying about it on the internet and make your own.

I have only seen the first episode of this show but I am a long time Joe Rogan aficionado and if he is involved in something, especially when most of the show is him talking, it will be fantastic. He gets to the bottom of things in the best way possible by talking all sides and playing devils advocate. I recommend anything he does, especially the podcast. If anything download the podcast, there are 380+ 2-3 hour podcasts full of knowledge for FREE at your fingertips if you download iTunes or have an iPhone. WOOT! The episode I saw was the bigfoot episode and Rogan really gets to the bottom of things, at one point he straight up says his bullshit meter is going off the scales.. which is exactly what any normal person is thinking while watching but he has the stones to say something. Powerful Joe Rogan.

I really enjoy every episode.
Rogan talks about up and coming hot current event topics.
From the bizarre to the unusual. There's SO MUCH to be learn through his TV show. Outside of his lame comic take and out of context jokes, a lot of the interviews are with well respected members of their chosen field.
Most of the topics discussed are real events currently going on behind the public eyes.
Honestly you won't find a show quite like his.
Just look pass his awkwardness when he tries to lay down a funny joke in the most inappropriate time.

I should start off by saying I really do enjoy paranormal and mystery type shows. At first when I saw the preview for this show, I thought there was good potential in it. Unfortunately, any information or entertainment value is watered down by Joe Rogan's over the top expressions and "aw shucks, I don't know nothing'" persona. I'm by no means an expert in the "unexplained" but I also don't have a show where I investigate it. Rogan continues to emphasize his lack of knowledge and understanding of the subject matter but I would expect he would also at least be somewhat knowledgeable about it. However, that does not seem to be the case. Most "questions" are really just empty thoughts and challenges but do not provide a rebuttal to the other person's point. Mixed with a series of random yet ridiculous facial expressions really makes you feel that the nearest janitor or homeless person could have probably asked the same level of "insightful" questions with possibly more professionalism. If this makes it to a second season, it will be nothing short of a miracle.

If you ever wondered if bad production could make you lose interest in a subject, here's your answer! I can't even begin to tell you how bad this show is! It's led by a numb-nut who seems to have lived under a rock for 30 years... Which of course he hasn't. So he's just acting. Badly. Acting surprised at whatever the producers shove in front of his face. He's like a one month old baby discovering he has hands. Whooptee-doo! And for good measure they add all the cliché sound effects and editing tricks from Ice Road Truckers, et viola! The most artificially inflated reality/"documentary" show since "Ancient Aliens".
Here's some advice for the host: Since all of your merits consist of marshal arts achievements, please stick to making bad action films, or possibly documentaries about marshal arts. If all else fails, run for governor! But leave the science documentaries to Morgan Freeman! To the producers: For the love of God, give the "Ice Road Truckers sound effects library" a rest already! To all others: Avoid at all cost!
