WHY I LIKE TO WATCH 'MONSTERQUEST'!

I like to watch MonsterQuest because it's so funny! It's funny watching all these so-called "expert" goofs run around in the woods in the middle of the night with all their expensive equipment looking for something that absolutely does not exist. And never has. It's really funny that they never come up with even the slightest evidence of the "creature" they've wasted their time looking for. It's funny watching the so-called "witnesses" recount their experiences of the "creature" when all it could be is their over-worked imagination of an account with a bear, owl, dog, etc. It's funny when the experts take the supposed evidence to real experts to find out it's a hair from a bear, owl, dog, etc. I don't know why you watch this show, but I like to watch it because it's so funny.

It's train wreck TV at it's finest. It's just basically an arena for hack scientists(who are in the extreme minority in their fields)/and local yahoos, to put their ridiculous hypothesis' on display....

I love how they search for unknown animals by putting a camera on a known animal and then turning it loose, hoping it will find something. RatCam, HogCam, who doesn't love that?

I agree with you, this show is hilarious!

I like it when they "mimic" the sound a bigfoot is supposed to make. That always cracks me up!

But yeah, the hair bits are always funny too.

Reasons why I loved it:

1. "Experts" who's only credentials is having self-published ridiculous books.

2. The fact they never find a single goddamn thing.

3. Lizard Man being taken seriously for a 48 minute program. Normally, Lizard Man/Rocket Lizard is taken seriously for approximately 12 seconds.

4. An episode that featured Jose the Tunnel Bum as a supposedly credible witness.

5. Leaving cameras in the woods in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE despite the fact it has NEVER WORKED. EVER.

6. DogCam, HogCam, RatCam, FishCam, etc.

7. An entire episode about adults searching for a Chupacabra.

8. Loren Coleman, cryptozoolgist

9. That DNA analyst with the mohawk

In the Tasmanian Tiger episode one of the so called "eyewitnesses" watched the creature for three minutes before finally deciding to take a picture and wouldn't you know it the animal runs off just as he goes to take the picture. He watched a supposedly extinct animal for THREE WHOLE MINUTES before thinking that it might be a good idea to take a photo to back up his claim. Also there is a lady in the hobbit episode who also had an encounter with an extinct animal who also failed to take a photo huh?

I find it funny how despite having found not a single scrap of evidence, and wasting time placing their equipment though it never works, at the end of the show, though they have proven that the "creature" most likely doesn't exist, they seem more convinced of the creature's existance than they were at the beginning.

But the thing I find totally hilarious is that after they're done placing their equipment, the shows goes to a commercial break, right when the crew is saying that they've "got gomething" or acting like something strange just happened, trying to create suspense, though anyone who watches the show already knows it's just going to be a squirrel, a bird, or that one of their cameras broke. It happens in every single episode.

This program does it all it can to investigate and full kudos to them for trying practical searches. It's all they can do, and they won't know unless they try.

Given the huge amount of reports - especially of lake monsters all around the world and bigfoot-type-creatues in just about every country - no one can say they do not exist.
I like your skeptisism though. Because it's like with UFOs which are about 95% stupid mis-sightings of Venus and natural things.

The episode that took the cake you guys eat is the one about Rods, called Unidentified Flying Creatures, in Season One. That was the most embarassing, scarily delusional doco I've even seen. They all needed the rods and cones of their eyes checked by an expert.

This is about the only series to do proper investigation since "In Search Of" in the 70's isn't it?

Even local Yahoos Answers has no answer! MONSTERQUEST seeks the answers.

I don't find it funny, I just find it fun. Just suspend disbelief and it's pretty entertaining.

[–] onlythebat 14 years ago

Of course it's only entertainment. If the producers of any of these doco-monster/alien shows took any of this crap seriously, you'd have a whole different vehicle. The gran-daddy of all of these shows, as one poster mentioned, had to be the original "In Search Of". At least they had Mr. Spock narrate which really added an element of seriousness. I still watch em' for laughs, but it really insults alot of peoples intelligence. Happy motoring!
