Mountain Monsters

This show is absolutely fantastic in that it never fails to keep me entertained. Granted I am usually howling with laughter, it is still fairly funny if you don't buy in to it (which I'm sure some poor souls do). I would love to be a producer or editor of the footage because it has to be great to go through all of it. Well put together that's for sure. At least it makes me laugh, unlike all the other "reality" but not reality shows out there. This season (dedicated to Bigfoot) has started off on the right foot. It's a bit like those wrestling programs on TV that have been around for decades or a good soap opera. At least they don't pretend to be trying to get scientific evidence. They walk off without one sample of that Sasquatch skat! Keep at it boys, we'll be watching.

This show is obviously fake, but I laugh all the time watching it! It's a wonder they don't shoot each other every episode! Can you imagine these yahoos really running around in the woods and having to climb any kind of steep hills? I feel so sorry for that little jeep when they all pile in and drive into the woods. The wheels bow out from the weight. I love it when they see a picture, video or recording and they make so much noise you can't hear any sounds. Who on earth goes into the dark woods wearing flashlight headlights to go hunting? They make so much noise, nothing is going to hang around for them to find them. Now we have a conspiracy theory with people who are hunting them and who can dig up background information that's supposedly either sealed or has never been reported. This is better than Mission Impossible! Have fun watching, but don't take it seriously!

I do get a kick out of this show and enjoy it more than any of the other Bigfoot shows on TV. Even though the cast is a cultural stereotype of people from West Virgina. In one episode the actually did catch the giant wild boar. The whole business of trapping Bigfoot is silly and they never even get any decent video. If they ever did it would be the science discovery of the century. Why they never shoot it is beyond me. Favorite hunt was when they went after the Grassman in Perry County Ohio. At least this monster, or some of their crew, threw stuff at them.

The worst episode was when they went after the Indian Legend Bigfoot in North Carolina. This one could even take over your mind which it did to two of the cast members. This time Mountain Monsters "Jumped the Shark" as they say.

I went to college in South Eastern, Ohio and there were plenty of stories about the monsters, the Moth Man and others that were told around the camp fire. In many ways this show brings back happy memories of those days.

It is really funny - watching these good old boys out hunting the monsters - of course they never seem to get them on video or catch one - but they are the best at looking scared - It is really pretty funny the technical terms or better yet the faces they make when they are chasing the monsters and get scared. Frankly I would be carrying bigger firepower if I was them - instead of shotguns - can't do much withe them. But I have to say they do make for a funny show - Science ?? What's that - just mindless entertainment. Any one them would be just as much fun in a show called "people of Walmart" but then that's all too real !

Since I am a native of West Virginia, it is disappointing to see another stupid show making us all look bad. However, it's even more disappointing to see that other people who have written reviews on here have clustered all of the Appalachian population together and called us all the stereotypical names and made all the stereotypical comments, especially since I'm sure most of you are not from Appalachia and don't have any factual knowledge about it. But here's the funny thing. I have all of my teeth, I am actually about to start my junior year of college at a school IN West Virginia, and I have a pretty high GPA. I'm not stupid. In fact, most of the people here are not stupid. West Virginians have been made fun of forever, but I can guarantee you that the people from West Virginia are some of the nicest and most friendly that you will ever meet and would give you the shirt off their back. I am proud of where I come from, regardless of any of the ignorant comments that any of you have made or will make.
