Catch a Contractor

What a clever spin on To Catch A Predator, (another awesome show that did some good). Can't believe that's not still around. As an Adam Carolla podcast fan, I believe in public shaming. It's healthy. It's informative. It's why we converse and get a second opinion.

Anyway.

Adam is funny and good at pointing out construction mistakes. Skip is perfect for this show. He's big, buff, and totally knowledgeable about what is expected of a licensed contractor. He's also no one to F with when it comes to reprimanding no-good workers. His wife Allison is super hot and clever at playing detective and tracking these fools down.

Look. I don't even own a home. I rent. But I like the documentary/ real life facts of this show. They show how absolutely dangerous lazy and incomplete contractor work can be.

You learn. You laugh. You wish you went to the gym more, (like the Bedells). It's a great show and worth a watch.

I have a special place in my heart for JUSTICE. And this show dishes it out in spades.

It's super FUNNY too!

I really like Kitchen Nightmares, Catfish, and the good episodes of Bar Rescue (where justice is dished), and now Catch a Contractor.

One thing this show has that the others don't: Adam Carolla. And he is one funny, witty, dude that PULLS NO PUNCHES.

Yes, Gordon Ramsey doesn't pull punches, and I love it, but Carolla does it in a way that's like he has no "editing function" - he says all the stuff others think, but don't say.

It's so great to see the scum get their comeuppance.

If you like the dry wit that's naturally funny without trying too hard, bad guys getting their as*es handed to them, and screwed people getting some restitution, you'll love this.

If Adam Corolla wasn't in this show it would've been a huge hit .He is so negative and causes so many problems with his terrible humor , I'm pretty sure he's the only one that thinks he's funny! He is killing it for me!!! Skip is the only one that knows what he's doing I am sure, because I am a contractor ! To bad almost had a hit show just picked a loser as one of the main hosts ! This show is destined for failure with Adam as its main host , to bad!!!maybe the producers will make changes before he destroys this show , it could do a lot of good for our business!! He has also said many inappropriate comments I even heard one in front of the victims children! Is anyone filtering this guy or does anyone care. I mean if your going to call out bad contractors on one hand and then on the other say inappropriate language in front of children , hmm not classy not at all!!!!

This really isn't what I was expecting. I was expecting something along the lines of "To Catch a Predator" or "To Catch a Con Man". But, there was no investigation whatsoever with the suspect contractors. The hosts didn't do any sort of investigating. If they add some investigation procedures (i.e. paperwork, pictures, etc.) this show could be a little more interesting. This show is good for current contractors or anyone that is interested in any sort of construction/contracting. They really explain the details about plans and why they were bad or screwed up and the hosts, which are retired contractors explain what happened if the contractor really messed up the job.

Love this show and unlike many others I do like Adam and find him very funny. Do you really think he should be nice to these crooks?

What bothers me is that they don't explain what happens to the money the people paid the bad contractors. Who pays for the material to redo the job? My guess is that the show pays for the redo and the crooked contractors get away with stealing the money in exchange for being humiliated and exposed on the show.
