A lot of fun.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

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.

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

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.

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!
