Yes, but not as exciting as the return of Cryptomundo coming back online! Glad to see you guys back up and looking forward to the new MonsterQuest as well.
I’m so ready for the new season! But a few episodes looked..well..stupid..but I guess they have a budget to stick to and you can’t just fly to Africa and Papua New Guinea every week lol. I do wish they would expand and do new cryptids as well as more living dino ones because those are some of my favorites. Theres over a hundred cryptids so I would think they would have better subject matter than feral dogs or or big rats or REPEATS. I still love the show though!
I am torn on MonsterQuest. On the one hand it explores some of the issues discussed here and gives some of the top names in cryptozoology, such as Jeff Meldrum, airtime and major exposure to the general public, while being a (generally) fascinating program to watch. On the other hand, however, the overall quality of the program varies greatly from episode to episode, ranging from truly interesting to disgustingly over-the-top and ridiculous. Half the time it almost seems to, possibly inadvertently, poke fun at the very mysteries it purports to explore.
These advertisements certainly do not present MonsterQuest as a particularly serious program. While they may be trying to reach out a more mainstream audience, they are unfortunately doing so at expense of credibility in my opinion.
I have never missed an episode of Monsterquest, but tonight’s shark episode has nothing to do with unknown animals. Shows dealing with sharks, bees and snakes should not be on Monsterquest. They belong on Animal Planet. I think I’ll wait until they play an episode dealing with true cryptids. That is what I want to see.
I still think it would be great to have a SasquatchQuest…24/7/365 sasquatch. Seriously,an all sasquatch quest would be awesome. All the other cryptids,while some are interesting,just dont grab me like Squatch. I think Squatch is the one cryptid that will eventually vindicate all of us “crazies”
Take care folks.
People need to relax about these commercials not being “serious.” Networks like History, Discovery and Science Channel have become popular becuase they make documentaries fun to watch. Part of the reason I love Cryptomundo is that Loren Coleman has a sense of humor to match his serious side.
That said, the costume used in these commercials is a whole lot cheaper than they make-up FX used in the first season’s commercials. It looks rather lame in comparison. What happened to their budget?
Is is possible to have a Monster Quest program about the brazilian Mapinguary in the near future?
