Monster House

I Think That Monster House IS Better Than Trading Spaces And Some Of The Other House Makeover Shows. I Have Been Watch Trading Spaces For As Long As I Can Remember But When I Turned On To Monster House I Got Hooked. For One They DO Different Things Every Episode I'm Not Saying TS Doesn't But MH Is More Exotic. From A Race Car Home To A Medieval Home TO A Zen Home And Back To A Disco Home MH Is Full Of Excitement I Really Recommend It.

It's not as cool as "Monster Garage," but I like it. They do some outrageous stuff to houses. The part I like best is that all the props must be functional. I'm surprised at the number of houses that have substandard wiring -- Several episodes show electricians literally rewiring houses that are firetraps waiting to spring. Unnerving!

Like "Monster Garage" and other build shows, the success or failure of each week's project is strongly linked to the group's ability to put aside their egos and work as a team. On that front, Jesse James ("Monster Garage") is much more successful than Steve Watson. But, give the man a chance. The show is still new.

I want to see them do a space station house sometime with plasma screens and a functioning control system...

Monster House is awesome. A team of individuals have one week to totally make-over a house into something completely unique, while the homeowners live in a camper outside. The house owners never know what is going to happen, but they might just end up with a red-eyed, fire breathing, Tiki god in their living room, or a disco bed in the shape of an octagon that turns. Who knows what this does to the resale value of the homes? The show is hilarious, and I would definately recommend it to anyone who likes make-over shows with a little something extra.

I'm not a big Discovery Channel watcher, but since catching this show, I've been truly addicted. It makes a mix of Monster Garage and random design shows from channels like HGTV. I'm not a car person so I enjoy Monster House much more than the garage version. Don't watch it for the design ideas, which are good in themselves, watch it for the catfights between the carpenters. What makes the show great is the human dynamic between Steve and his crew. Watch the tile layer being a total w***er, sitting around drinking cokes and smoking or watch the cabinet maker going home cause things don't go his way. Or, for you girls out there, watch the token female pitch a fit at not be allowed to touch a power tool. In the end, the show is not so much about what they are making, as it is about the people are are wielding the welders. And while it bears the title of a 'design show' it's not really your typical 'suprise by design'. It's totally addictive and funny, and in my opinion, the best 'design' show out there.

I love Monster House. It is a funny & great show. The house they design each week are awsome. The show is creative.

I like this show because it shows you how you can design a great house, in little time. I hope that this show lasts for a long time.
