moneymaker is a GIANT ASS, but if you could mute just him the rest of the show doesn't seem too bad. but i fear that his presence may end up doing grievous harm to an already iffy public opinion of the bigfoot community.
hard to judge the show itself with so few episodes aired, but i think that it has good potential to be decent. but i do think that it won't go well in the long run, moneymaker is just too arrogant.

My exact opinion. I want to know how much has been cut out in editing in relation to him because I'd at least like to believe the man has A) a bit more professionalism, B) a bit more modesty and maturity, and C) a bit more common sense than to, literally, automatically tell almost everyone, "I believe what you saw was definitely a Sasquatch," even though they have might have zero evidence to make that claim.

Though over at Cryptomundo he comments on editing, and about how things have been edited out and in, much to his frustration, it seems to make the show more "intense" or "dramatic." (Quote marks are my own.)

In my brief observance of his ocassional time in the spotlight, he does not. And i fully believe his claims of editing are his feeble attempts to reclaim his own skewed idea of himself as a bigfoot researching god ( ... )

Dumb.
This is coming from a person who loves Ghost Adventures.

I'm uncomfortable with Moneymaker being the face of the show. However, I do find some of the others, like Bobo, to be rather likable. I have to chuckle by how quickly they get responses to their calls during fieldwork. Or how when the thing on the thermal disappears, people are falling off porches with expensive pieces of equipment.
I don't know if it will be on the air long. I had my doubts about Ghost Hunters, and they're still around with spin-offs.
It comes off as an hour long commercial for the BFRO.

i had no idea about this show, I will have to check it out. On a bigfoot topic, I am awaiting the arrival of a copy of an actual bigfoot cast of a foot print.

Tis basically Ghost Hunters outdoors and with fur instead of ectoplasm.

The Hist Chann's dearly departed Monster Quest was a much better series on the subject IMHO.
