This is a very good show for people interested in Cryptozology. Of course most of the show is very questionable, but if you are interested in such topics, it is the best and most well-documented TV series made so far. I find it very entertaining, and it is also worth seeing for both skeptics and believers. I consider myself a skeptic, most of the content in this show is pure fiction, but anyway, I feel the topic fascinating.
And those who have objections to this shows contains, simply don't see the show and let people take interest in what they want.
I hope there will be more seasons of this series!

I've watched just about every episode of this show, missing only two I believe, and I must say that, unlike the reviews I've read before, I give this show a high rating - not because of some inner belief in Bigfoot or crazed notion of reptile/human hybrids, but because of what the show offers - entertainment and the hope for an unknown world.
As a student of philosophy and mathematics, I can say one thing - On the occasion that I don't 'know-it-all' I'm quick to find it out, one way or the other. It's a safe assumption to make that if there's a new technology out there or a more efficient method of this or that, I'll be there to take it apart and figure it all out. . . but it is nice to think, if even for a fleeting moment, that there are some things that I cannot know by logic or formula. It's nice to believe that, though there's no empirical evidence for something, it may still exist.
This is what this show offers me, and perhaps to others. I spend a good portion of my day logically analyzing actions or speech, and I find relaxation difficult to attain, as soap operas or sitcoms become overdone or wacky... but here is a show that retains some measure of a scientific method, but seeks to find that which cannot be found. And while others may judge and make fun, I think that a show like MonsterQuest is a far better way to unwind and relax then watching something dug up from the primordial soup like 'Desperate Housewives' or 'MadTV.' In summation, it's nice to escape to an almost Lovecraftian level and entertain the idea that perhaps our inquiries are not perfect - perhaps we can't know everything - and perhaps, just maybe, there are some things that exist outside the realms of the Known world.

Hilarious Eye-witness accounts. Witty dialogue. Revolutionary animation. MonsterQuest is, in my opinion a highly under-appreciated and special series. Each and every episode has a new "monster" to showcase; from Big Foot himself, to unexplained flying rods in the sky. Yes, that's right, I said rods in the sky. Moving lines. If that doesn't get you completely hooked there's even an episode on Giant Killer Fish.
Stan Bernard narrates the series and I honestly can't think of a better man for the role. He allures and intrigues the audience with his unique voice and adds so much to each episode. Even with some of the less interesting episodes focusing on lizard men in levitating trash cans - the guy manages to have you hooked just by talking. What a credit to the world of documentaries and voice overs Stan is. Utterly Marvellous.
Every episode has the same level of suspense and honestly, it's hard to pick a favourite episode. But if you put a gun to my head, I'd probably pick the classic episode featuring the legendary Mokele-mbembe, "The Last Dinosaur". This episode really has it all. From crazy locals, a retired archaeologist and of course Mbembe herself who despite everything the locals claim in the episode, she is never actually proven to be 'se too long' nor does any of the MonerQuest team actually discover how long is 'se too long' - I guess we will never find out... Unless the team put together a sequel to this absolutely ground breaking episode.
Overall, this show has everything. 10/10. Check it out

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.

I like this show. It is fun. We don't really know what is out there, but it is fun to see people look. I also like that you learn about what other cultures see and believe from all over the world. Although, they only found one thing in all their shows, it was a giant squid. The one thing that bugs me is that they went back to locate the squid again a different time of year at a different location and didn't find anything. They need to make more discoveries, to keep interest in the show. Instead of people being afraid of whatever they are looking for, go out and get it. When you think you have Bigfoot outside your line of sight, you get out there and find Bigfoot. Another thing that would be nice is a reoccurring host, someone who would go out every week and try to find that animals.
