Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t--The Complete Fifth Season carries on the comic magicians' Showtime series in which they debunk one or another contemporary myth or collective assumption about the way in which we live. 'Obesity' takes on the weight-loss industry, diet companies, and doctors who frighten overweight people with unsubstantiated worries about health risks. At the same time, Penn & Teller turn their skepticism toward morbidly obese people who insist they are victims of discrimination. 'Breast Hysteria' is as puerile as longtime watchers of this series can easily imagine, with the two hosts practically drooling over the subject and the episode offering many instances of gratuitous nudity. But beneath the hijinks are fairly serious discussions about biases against public breastfeeding and the fact that more people spend money on pink-ribbon-bearing products than on actual breast cancer research. 'Exorcism' is another instance of Penn & Teller taking on an easy target, as cameras capture loony, self-styled exorcist types plying their trade on gullible victims. More seriously, 'Immigration' is a hard look at the absurdity of trying to keep people from crossing America's southernmost border with walls and little groups of vigilante Minutemen (who certainly don't look particularly tough here). Perhaps most controversially, 'Handicap Parking' is an assault on the American Disabilities Act and its insistence (as defined by Penn & Teller) on forcing America to conform to accessibility rules that, the hosts say, are out of step with reality. It might be impossible to agree with everything Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t--The Complete Fifth Season touches, but the series certainly knows how to spark debate. --Tom Keogh
