I have watched both MonsterQuest and Destination Truth since the beginning of both series. I agree with your assessment that DT is a lot more entertainment factor than MonsterQuest. However I often find myself falling asleep during MQ because they often don’t have anything substantial to show. Much of their episodes consist of interviewing people and using their little creature maker software to show us what they think it looked like. SIGH. Take their latest show about Cressie for instance, the show was pretty clear from the beginning that the so called “monster” in question was more urban legend than anything else, but they still spent an hour talking to various people about it. Although Josh Gates of Destination Truth is a goofball, he’s at least interesting and funny in his investigations. Every time I go online though I still expect to hear the show’s been canceled due to his untimely demise. That man has had more close calls with large predators than anyone should be allowed. I can remember at least 2 instances with large felines, 1 instance with a large snake and 3 instances on various large bodies of water in inclement weather with faulty boats or inadequate navigation equipment. I mainly watch now just to see if he’ll get eaten by a tiger or freeze to death on a lake.. the list of possibilities is simply endless. And if the indigenous wildlife or his reckless stupidity doesn’t kill him, the native cuisine he’s forced to subsist on most likely will.

Monsterquest is a great show and I love to see how they are trying to use scientific methods to get people thinking about the possibility of crypto critters. I was wondering though if anyone has seen Destination Truth? There was a Marathon on the SciFi channel the other day and I watched it for a bit. The only description I can give of it is “Monsterquest if the Crocodile Hunter was running the show”. It is entertaining mostly in that watching a train wreck kind of thing. I keep expecting them to be the first ones to film a crypto critter as they are being eaten by one.
Entertaining but not nearly so much a scientific presentation…

I love Monsterquest and am just happy that we have a somewhat decent show on cryptozoology, however, their schedule is about as reliable as Tom Biscardi in front of a camera.

I know that sometimes changes are needed and that it will be put in a day/time that will be most favorable ratings wise. I just wish that they would set a date and stick with it.

I am very interersted in the Yeren episode but especially the season finale where they go back to the cabin visited by Meldrum and company in Sasquatch Attack I. From what little info I can find, the finale will offer some very exciting news for Bigfoot enthusiasts. Peace fellas.

The Yeren episode is available for those who have On Demand through Comcast. I happened on to it last night while suffering a bit of insomnia.

Maybe I’m missing something but I watch MonsterQuest on the History Channel Wednesday nights not Sundays??

According to my cable guide, this Wed. episode, 9/17, is about Canadian Lake Monsters. Looking ahead to Sunday, 9/21, I don’t see MonsterQuest listed on the History Channel for that date at all.

I’m simultaneously happy and disappointed that the Canadian lake monsters episode will air before the Yeren one. This will be one I will without a doubt tape when it arrives, especially with Dr. Meldrum’s thoughts on the Yeren being broadcast.
