Television was invented for shows like this. Absolutely priceless. Don;t get me wrong, I personally don't really believe any of these cryptids exist. But these people searching for them is hilarious/awsome. I recommend you watch each episode with some wine.

Joshua says...I'm planning on having this DVD for Christmas. All of the episodes sound interesting, but the one that I find the most interesting is the one called "Real Dragons." It talks about a giant prehistoric lizard called megalania, and I have loved the megalania ever since I heard about it! This lizard was definitely a real monster! The size of a bus and weighing over half a ton, this aggressive predator was the king of Australia's beasts!

I bought this series for my brother who absolutley loves the series. I've enjoyed watching them with him too. They can actually get a little scary to watch.

I did eventually get this season from Second Spin retailer through Amazon, but it took so long that I asked for my money back. Murphy's law, the item turned up several days later. Had to chase up a repayment, what a hassle, but upon watching a few episodes, the pain slowly went away.

The Ghost episode is quite good. They investigate the Gettysberg ghost video, which is probably one of the best pieces of video evidence of ghosts we have today.

This series is very informative and interesting to watch, though the teams never seem to find anything concrete. Love the Real Dragons episode with Rex Gilroy, the Aussie Cryptozoologist. His one liners are awesome! Rex, (if you read this review)that Brisbane Museum guy doesn't know what he's on about!

Recommended series for the serious cryptonut!

Worth getting!

I don't have to write a long and elaborate review, plenty of people have already done so. I'll be brief: MonsterQuest is one of the most interesting T.V. show ever produced. If you are interested in Cryptozoology or the Paranormal then buy this DVD Set, you won't regret it. In my opinion this show is a must add to any DVD collection.

The second season of MonsterQuest really lived up to the two episode that I saw (giant snakes & giant octopus). There are more episodes than the first season and more variety of monsters. The monster team used more hi-tech equipment this time around and even followed up on some evidence acquired during the last season. Some episodes didn't really have much photographic or hard evidence besides eye witness accounts, but the show did a good job of presenting their own theory as to what the creature could be or how a creature of that size might exist. Using scientific and historic data, the show really saved those episodes from just being about hearsay. It seems like the time frame for each investigation is about a week. I know they probably have a limited budget, but if given more time to the researchers, maybe they would come out with actual photos or concrete evidences. This is definitely an improvement over the first season but more evidence should be included(if possible) to make it even better. Great collection for people who enjoy shows like this. Looking forward to season three.

When the History Channel aired Monster Quest, I was fascinated especially since the material presented wasn't the old rehashed stories. I missed the opportunity to see the stories from Monster Quest II. It was while deployed to Iraq. So, while oversease, I ordered the video. I was pleased. Thanks.

Just the episode on spiders is creepy cool enough, so I'm looking forward to the rest! The Monsterquest series is always worth watching!

These monster Quest shows are the best. I've seen them all on tv.Some I like a lot better that others but they're all well worth owning.A "must have" if you enjoy this kind of thing. I sure hope that we get a Season three.If anyone from the History Channel is reading this review. Thank you for giving us these great shows. And PLEASE make a Season Three!
