AaronCapenBanner This series, which aired on the History Channel, presents expeditions who try and prove the existence of various legendary monsters like Bigfoot, Nessie, Champ, or just werewolves, giant sharks, octopus, etc.Computer graphics aid the descriptions of the monsters, using 3-D imagery and some speculation, along with some suspense as the hunters keep coming close to proving the existence of these creatures, but the biggest problem with the series is that they never quite do! Of course, if they did, it would be front page headlines I suppose...Series is on DVD, though was canceled rather quickly for some reason. It is interesting, if lacking in style.
SdSd City I notice that when I selected "one" vote out of ten for this show, the good people at IMDb included the word "awful" in brackets beside the number one. My guess is they must have seen this show too.Cheap shots aside, this show is best described in it's own words as as a search for monsters by using science. Except that this show is to science what porn is to family values. Let me explain.First things first let's look at how science searches for monsters on this show. It's pretty special to say the least. My favorite part is the casting. Basically there are three main character types, and each is worth a snapshot description. First there are the "witnesses": no casting agency could have come close to producing a more yokel worthy lot. Even the ones that clearly aren't inbred, still manage to somehow convince you that they see strange shapes in their toast.Next come the scientists: with very few exceptions the majority are on the show payroll and therefore turn up again and again. I will say this much, if this is the best science has to offer, i'm going back to steering clear of the edge of this very flat earth we're on. These rejects range from being soft touches to being even softer touches. I can't do justice to how embarrassing these noneties really are. Once in every while a genuine, bona fide, and objective analyst somehow manages to get a word in. And I'm not exaggerating when I say a word. Their air time is short and edited to ensure that it either sounds unfinished or uncertain - or is a lead in to someone certifiable.And last of all, holding the whole thing together are the cryptozoologists. Well the best I can say here is combine the characteristics of the two types mentioned above and you get the picture. Like most crypto/pseudo/conspiratorially minded "independant" researchers - this lot all come with a self fulfilling mission in life. They also always like to be interviewed with stuffed creatures behind them.As for how the show's put together, it's pure genius. In terms of how to blow smoke without lighting a cigarette anyway. The basic drill is lots of dramatic music, lots of cliff-hanger sequences, dead end searches and a narrator who will stop at nothing to try and make something out of nothing. The end result is nearly forty episodes made up of people mumbling about what they're "sure they saw". And the thousand worst photos ever taken of anything in history. And finally, not a single conclusive finding.Please watch this show. It's proof that monsters not only don't exist, but that if they did - they'd immediately go into hiding when this welcome party turned up.
premanandr I watched every one of this show with expectation that they will find something. Every show ends with the same result. They couldn't capture any real evidence of any monster. All they find at the end of the show is some stupid clues that can't provide any real conclusions. This show is just a mockery of viewers and science. In every show they get tens of people talking about the monsters. I think even those people are paid by the show producers. The funny thing is that, everyone except the monster quest crew seem to come across the monster. And for some reason, the crew never gets any real photos/videos of the monster.In one of the show, crew sets up cameras to film the monster. In each location, they put up a pole and scent of a coyote to attract the monster. The next day morning they show that one of the pole was scratched. The conclude that it must be a giant monster since none of the claws match the size of the scratch. Now, I was expecting that the video they setup will reveal the monster. And they start showing videos of every pole and except the one pole where monster scratched. The video camera didn't capture the one and only useful pole.. The reason? Some random technical failure. Bull Crap !. This show is complete joke !And the funny thing is that, in every show they find some parts of the monster and do a DNA test. The result of DNA test is that, it doesn't match with anything living. So, they conclude that it is some variation of the living species. They have never filmed any real monster. And complete mockery of the science and viewers watching it.
Sid Maggot I think this is one of the shows that comes out of the normal circle. It's always interesting to see new subjects , new researches and come'on who isn't curious about this Myth's , Monsters, and that kind of stories that we heard all the time ? this is the kind of show that give us some clues of what we might think that is a myth and it isn't and what's really a fiction, something just made up.The only thing I criticize is the duration (40 min) in some of the subjects, I think they could go deeply on the subject. But still, it is a good series , to see now and then.and by the way "robnels2000" with all the respect, first, see the series before you open your mouth, and second, learn how to write English well before you criticize something, it destroys all the argummentsStay well folks
