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

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.

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.
Though some are redundant to a certain extent, I watched all 13 episodes. Naturally, a few hold more interest than others. For example, "Giant Squid Found?" was absolutely fascinating. Attaching a camera to a 6 ft. squid, and seeing what the squid saw at 1000 ft. beneath the surface was amazing. There is a certain amount of interest generated, even though nothing was found. To some, the hunt is the most satisfying part of any adventure, with a plausible explanation only leading to a letdown. About half the episodes I would rate above average, and that provides 6 hours of entertaining quests, well worth the purchase price of less than $20.00. - MERK
Some of the shows can be explained like the Chupacabra, I have shot manged out coyotes that look just like that.. I live in the woods, and have seen 2 unexplainable things.. Not crazy or far out "not bigfoot" just unexplainable... Anyway, I Love the show, and big foot!!! Hook me up at that Snow Grove Lake cabin for a whole year!!! I don't need much of anything, a good camcorder, and a very few odds and end things... I can live off the land year around... I'll find it, and get SOME kinda proof for ya... If it, or anything else is around... Heck i'll even do any of the work ya want done to the cabin, inside or out for FREE... DREAM place for me to live for a lifetime, but a year would do I guess, no joke send me now :)
