I have a special place in my heart for JUSTICE. And this show dishes it out in spades.It's super FUNNY too! I really like Kitchen Nightmares, Catfish, and the good episodes of Bar Rescue (where justice is dished), and now Catch a Contractor.One thing this show has that the others don't: Adam Carolla. And he is one funny, witty, dude that PULLS NO PUNCHES.Yes, Gordon Ramsey doesn't pull punches, and I love it, but Carolla does it in a way that's like he has no "editing function" - he says all the stuff others think, but don't say.It's so great to see the scum get their comeuppance.If you like the dry wit that's naturally funny without trying too hard, bad guys getting their as*es handed to them, and screwed people getting some restitution, you'll love this.
... View MoreWhat a clever spin on To Catch A Predator, (another awesome show that did some good). Can't believe that's not still around. As an Adam Carolla podcast fan, I believe in public shaming. It's healthy. It's informative. It's why we converse and get a second opinion.Anyway.Adam is funny and good at pointing out construction mistakes. Skip is perfect for this show. He's big, buff, and totally knowledgeable about what is expected of a licensed contractor. He's also no one to F with when it comes to reprimanding no-good workers. His wife Allison is super hot and clever at playing detective and tracking these fools down.Look. I don't even own a home. I rent. But I like the documentary/ real life facts of this show. They show how absolutely dangerous lazy and incomplete contractor work can be.You learn. You laugh. You wish you went to the gym more, (like the Bedells). It's a great show and worth a watch.
... View MoreThe people are not real. You know reality TV is fake but this one takes the cake. The show is being sued because you can't be a phony the camera and audience will feel it. The reason I know is this has to come from the heart. You have to care about these people you are tying to help. Not just do a show to do a show. They just wanted to take an idea from Bob Golub and put themselves in a show. YOU HAVE TO REALLY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE. Yes Adam was a carpenter but even that does not help the host Alison and Skip who are horrible host because again you can honestly tell they are just doing a show for money not to help people. Even the so called homeowners just want a free work on their house.This is my show that was stolen from me.
... View MoreThis has the makings of a show that could go a few seasons. There is no shortage of people who have been shafted by bad contractors. There is a natural conflict build into each episode when customers meet deadbeat contractor. Plenty of emotion from suffering families. Feel good ending built in. Plenty of humor throughout. I was half afraid there would besome violence when they cornered the contractor. I think Skip or Adam could have handled it. Actually, I think Alison could have handled this first contractor. Carolla is a genuinely funny fellow. I have heard him on radio live and marvel at his ability to be humorous on cue. I can't think of anyone funnier than him off the cuff or better suited for live- roasting sheisters. His humor can be a little edgy, but hey, he's comedian. He is supposed to be funny. One of the few shows worth sitting through online advertisements for.
