I was really surprised at the ‘bullet ant gloves’ ritual, not that I hadn’t seen or been aware of it before, but more at the intimate view the show gave of Pat’s experience. It served not only it’s intended purpose, to bond with the locals in order to glean information, but to bond with the television audience, namely me, and bring us to feel much more comfortable with our new guide into the unknown.

The show itself veers from Lost Tapes recreations (though they are much less campy), to MonsterQuest style interviews and investigations that, for what it’s worth, seem done less for the TV viewership, or shock value, and more for his own curiosity. Though they are still far from in-depth, they feel more involved than the one night investigations favored by Destination Truth.

Maybe I missed a MonsterQuest episode, but I was not familiar with the mapinguari, so there is some new here as well, though of course all the necessary bullet points (Nessie, Bigfoot, Chupacabras) will be hit I’m sure.

In any case, I am happy to report that there is a worthy successor to MonsterQuest, (and thus far I may actually be beginning to like it better), but at least, there is finally something to look forward to in regards to Friday night television.

On the other hand, I found the show to be quite enjoyable and very entertaining. I would just once, like to see a show on Cryptos, actually find one, but then “Beast Finder” really doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I hope that it sticks around for a couple of seasons at least. Who knows? That fellow is just crazy enough that he might actually stumble across something unknown.

I agree it’s nice to have a show with just cryptos.

I almost wonder how long before Josh heads out after some UFO’s. Not that I don’t enjoy it, lol.
