Guess Monsterquest has run its course – they ended up looking for renegade chimps after they could never find Sasquatch or Nessie, I suppose.

So, tonight is the first Mysterquest link something to do with the Boys from Brazil.

Me, I'll be watching either Destination Truth on SciFi (or is it now SyFy) or that Pauly Shore objet d'art, In the Army Now (not) grin Dean

Oh, man…I wanted more stuff about the giant octopus!

Honestly, MonsterQuest is an excellent example of a show that *should* be sold to the Sci-Fi Channel. Dunno why it was ever on the Hit…History Channel.

Try Destination Truth – seems a bit more fast paced – and they poke fun at themselves too.

History Channel:

Choppers
Gangland
Ice Road Truckers
Nostradamus Effect
Woodstock

So much history, what can I say!

Ah yes, Monster quest.

"Welcome to sequential 15 minute segments leading to nothing. We'll start with the first segment where we explain what we are doing. Then each sequential seqment will be 10 – 12 minutes rehashing the previous segments and 3 – 5 minutes advancing the story. And every time we tell you something we'll show you 2 – 3 experts repeating the same information using slightly altered sentences. Oh, and did we mention the commercials? NO? Oh, then you're in for a REAL treat!'

Not really.

CC you forgot Axemen from HC.

Couple of points

HC has not shown WWF (AKA wrestling gay porn) or ghost hunter shows – yet – unlike Scifi/SyFy

HC International does give us better shows and the Militiary Channel is also another Hitler Channel.

This strikes me as an attempt to grow viewership.
