Catch a Contractor

Very entertaining show. It is amazing how many scam artists are out there and how many good people fall for it. Many of this people fork over their entire savings to these shady contractors. The set up of this show is great. Using private investigators, they find these losers and lure them to phony job sites where they ambush them. Ultimately, the show gives these "contractors" (the word is used very loosely) three options: #1. give the $$$$$ back (NOT!), #2. offer for the contractor to go back to the job site and help redo their shady, unsafe, and not in-compliance work under the crews supervision, or #3. the show will help the family take the contractor to court. Eventually all of these losers take the bait and agree to go back to the job site. The show captures more and more lies on video across and eventually the contractor is ambushed again this time by the family he deceived. At the end, these family's are left in a MUCH better situation. The construction work is top notch + Adam Carolla is very funny.

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

If Adam Corolla wasn't in this show it would've been a huge hit .He is so negative and causes so many problems with his terrible humor , I'm pretty sure he's the only one that thinks he's funny! He is killing it for me!!! Skip is the only one that knows what he's doing I am sure, because I am a contractor ! To bad almost had a hit show just picked a loser as one of the main hosts ! This show is destined for failure with Adam as its main host , to bad!!!maybe the producers will make changes before he destroys this show , it could do a lot of good for our business!! He has also said many inappropriate comments I even heard one in front of the victims children! Is anyone filtering this guy or does anyone care. I mean if your going to call out bad contractors on one hand and then on the other say inappropriate language in front of children , hmm not classy not at all!!!!

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.
