I always loved the Bielefeld Conspiracy.

Supposedly there is a city in Germany called 'Bielefeld'. But I know no one who's ever been there. And I know no one who knows someone who's ever been there. But THEY want to make us believe that the city actually exists. THEY even built autobahn signs and exits to make us believe that it exists. If you ever meet someone who claims to have been there, beware! He is one of THEM!

I knew someone who wanted to find out, never saw him again. Probably he knew too much.
(And don't get distracted by the fact that I met him at a party with about 500 other people and had never met this guy before either)

There was one special on (that I actually have somewhere) that was pretty convincing in terms of the fakery evidence that they gave... things like, why did the lander not create any kind of indent if it had such powerful jets to land it smoothly, yet the ground was "a fine powder" that easy left a 2 1/2 inch impression when the first step was made on the moon?

The show MythBusters (of all things) debunked many of the biggest ideas which I was shocked I'd never seen people attempt to debunk on television before (not that it never happened on tv... just that I had never seen it done)

I may have watched the same program once, or at least a similar one in which they were trying to prove that it was a fake. They did have a lot of good evidence. I don't remember most of it now, especially the specifics to do with it but things like reusing the same set in different shots, even though they were supposed to be in different areas. As well as the lighting not being natural and being lit in such angles that would suggest studio lighting etc.

Well, the most common theories, by definition, or much more well known, so it's difficult to say if we saw the exact same thing.

I found it and it was called "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon" and aired by the FOX network here.
I have a collection.
It can be found here.
No need to check it often.
I update it only twice a year!

I don't remember what the one I watched was called. It was many years ago and I only have a blurred memory of it. I remember being thoroughly convinced by the end though.

That isn't saying much. The Fox network makes some good shows, but their news team are on crack.
