I don't think its cold feet, I just think they are running out of things to cover. How many times can they go looking for bigfoot and find nothing?

Budget probably does play on what they can do. They been to Canada and Mexico, and other then that I am not sure how many places outside the US they have travel to.

Overall I think I am just bored of Monsterquest. They never really find anything. I think there best show was the Humboldt squid episodes, where they actually did find a large squid. Other than that I can't really remember a show with any shocking findings.

Oh, the sea animal with a trident tail was pretty good too.

In September Destination Truth comes back with new episodes, I think they not only do a better job on selecting topics, but also doing the investigations.

Actually, oversized animals are a form of cryptid. I do agree with you that too many episodes do focus on silly subjects, like dogs last night. Giant Alligators and crocodiles do interest me as there were 40 foot monsters roaming the planet at one time. Could they be starting to reach those sizes again? The giant snake one was interesting as Florida has a big problem with them on the loose. With few predators and plenty of food, the snakes never stop growing. They could in theory get to be 30 or 40 feet in length.

The giant rat one was not too interesting. I do think many people mistake the opossum for a rat as they do resemble each other. The giant spider one was interesting, but the oxygen level on this planet is too low to support giant insects and spiders like it once did.

There are many other crytids to investigate, and they did have some good ones about the Jersey Devil and Bigfoot sightings in different areas.

I guess they want to cover every mysterious creature, and that includes the jumbo variety of regular animals.

I have noticed the change so it's now closer to another show like River Monsters. The problems with Monster Quest is that they never found anything. They'd have a 1 hour buildup around some questionable evidence and at the end, the big payoff was always the remnants of something known.
That was OK for the first few shows but it quickly got very frustrating.
The other problem is that they would go searching for, let's say bigfoot, and they'd be out in the wilderness for a whole day. Wow a whole 24 hours !?!? Try setting up 100 camera's and spend a month out in the woods with a large expedition and see what you come up with.

So I guess if they're not going to commit to the crypto angle, I'd prefer if they kept the new format.

I don't know what's up with it, but I tell you one thing... I wish those effers would just fricken find something for once, lol! On all of the monster quest type shows, they drag on and on and find plenty of "clues" but never a monster. Yeah, if they exist, they're very elusive creatures, but come on! I wanna see something!!! If they find DNA it's always too degraded to prove anything or it's inconclusive or blah blah blah. I used to watch Destination Truth and I loved that show and they would almost always find something that would make you think "omg, what the hell??" You would think you were getting ready to see something amazing. And then... nothing. Granted, I probably couldn't do any better. I just wish that for once, some camera crew would go out into the forest and run smack dab into bigfoot or the chupacabra or moth man or whatever!

Sorry, I kind of went off there. I'm just a bit bitter because I love those shows but they get my hopes up for nothing!
