I think monster quest was a good idea, i was flipping through on the remote and i was shocked too see this program. I didnt know that this show was going to be on. Champ was up first for the first show, i thought the information given was done very well, i knew there were many accounts of people seeing champ on land, i do believe there are many more. To figure out what exactly what that thing is lurking in the water is a good opinion discusssion it could be a pinniped of some sort. The pleasioaur theory is interesting to discuss. I hope this riddle is solved once and for all. It seems the reasearchers on the program are very aggressive at finding evidence in the exsistence of the animal.

I taped it and didn’t get a chance to watch it until today. All in all, I think it is one of the better examples of this type of show I’ve seen in a while. I think it covered the subject fairly well without doing it in a hokey, over-hyped way.
On any of these shows I don’t hold out much hope of anything new being turned up by the show’s investigative crew, but after seeing the new video of rock throwing incident from a future episode, maybe that is about to change?

“Show more overwhelming evidence and keep it balanced,”

D’oh!

I don’t think the show wasn’t trying to prove anything, so presenting new evidence for or against the “monster” would be unnecassary. It just meant to examine the existing evidence, which I think it did wonderfully.

I liked it, I’d recomend the show to others.

I feel it is rather early to tell the success of another ” paranormal cable show” , but I thought the opening show SUCKED!! I would like to see more meaty shows on crytpos and not the Hx of… Show more overwhelming evidence and keep it balanced so not to spook off crypto virgins and or skeptic alike.. Rock On Moster Quest.. I’m rooting for you , just dont let me down like that show on Sci-Fi channel.. Destination Truth..

I liked this show. It wasn’t a lot of new information but at least it was repackaged and all in the same show. I am very interested in the Sasquatch attack episode next week

I watched the whole thing. Actually, I fast-forwarded through much of what I assume was “looking, not finding anything, and showing people with anecdotes about what they might have seen”. The end was predictable: Nothing new. No pictures. No video. No new audio. No new sonar. Not one shred of evidence - but, the researchers are undaunted and “plan to return”.

My disappointment was predictable, I suppose. How many of these do we need to see before we say, “Wake me up when the real party starts?” Seriously, all they need to do is roll titles, show the “mansi” picture, voice over with, “we found nothing new”, and roll credits.

Save us all an hour of time.

this is the program description i found on my digital cable box for next weeks episode of Monsterquest:

“An expedition investigating a report of a Bigfoot attack at a Canadian fishing cabin finds blood and tissue samples.”

sounds interesting

Well, there is that dodgy bit of data that the Native people around Lake Champlain called the monster chaousarou.

However, I’ve always wondered if that name (1) only refers to a large fish, thus the sturgeon, or (2) is a journalistic hoax, based upon some newsperson trying to come up with a dinosaur-sounding name.

Humm.

On the other hand, as Ben knows, I think his tree-trunk/Mansi photo theory just doesn’t float!

I enjoyed the show very much and thought Ben added a lot! (although his section should have been longer, but since they had the biologist that also was a skeptic, I think overall it was pretty balanced). I agree that the log theory appears to be the best explanation for the photograph.

I do wish they had talked a bit more about the history of the sightings…were there any traditional Native American/First People stories about a creature in the lake?

Reviewed it on the DVR. Well done, high quality, but nothing really new in this review (but, if there WAS something new, wouldn’t we Cryptomundians have already seen it, here?).

Perhaps next week’s Squatch episode will have something…
