Catch a Contractor

This has the makings of a show that could go a few seasons. There is no shortage of people who have been shafted by bad contractors. There is a natural conflict build into each episode when customers meet deadbeat contractor. Plenty of emotion from suffering families. Feel good ending built in. Plenty of humor throughout. I was half afraid there would besome violence when they cornered the contractor. I think Skip or Adam could have handled it. Actually, I think Alison could have handled this first contractor. Carolla is a genuinely funny fellow. I have heard him on radio live and marvel at his ability to be humorous on cue. I can't think of anyone funnier than him off the cuff or better suited for live- roasting sheisters. His humor can be a little edgy, but hey, he's comedian. He is supposed to be funny. One of the few shows worth sitting through online advertisements for.

First, lets state the obvious this is a TV show. But that goes without saying. There are so many reality shows out there that really don't have a purpose for anything but entertainment. At least with Catch A Contractor they are helping people that otherwise have reached the end of their rope and are not sure what to do next. That is where the passion that Skip and Adam have for their trade comes through. Now in regards to Adam and his method of verbal beat downs towards the hack jobs that call themselves "contractors" SO WHAT! As far as I am concerned that is very mild, to what they should have coming to them. The only reason I gave a 9 and not a 10 is because there is always room for improvement. But this show, in my opinion is nearly perfect! I look forward to watching every Sunday night!

Love this show and unlike many others I do like Adam and find him very funny. Do you really think he should be nice to these crooks?

What bothers me is that they don't explain what happens to the money the people paid the bad contractors. Who pays for the material to redo the job? My guess is that the show pays for the redo and the crooked contractors get away with stealing the money in exchange for being humiliated and exposed on the show.

This really isn't what I was expecting. I was expecting something along the lines of "To Catch a Predator" or "To Catch a Con Man". But, there was no investigation whatsoever with the suspect contractors. The hosts didn't do any sort of investigating. If they add some investigation procedures (i.e. paperwork, pictures, etc.) this show could be a little more interesting. This show is good for current contractors or anyone that is interested in any sort of construction/contracting. They really explain the details about plans and why they were bad or screwed up and the hosts, which are retired contractors explain what happened if the contractor really messed up the job.

The idea is good, but the guts are auper annoying, bullying and bad example. Seems they r the only one in the world who know how to do things. Making fun of people and irritate them
