Monster House sucks

[AggieDave 6]

I really don't get this show, they basically really fuck up people's homes. The ideas they have are lame and the craftsmanship is even worst. I feel sorry for these people and their homes.

Some people will do anything for the flat screen tv. There have only been a couple of them I've actually liked...

i've gotta agree with you here Dave, suckorama to the ninth degree. but a flat screen would be nice... oh monster house....

Never go to a DZ strip show.

I gotta agree on this one. Certainly these people must realize what is going to happen to their homes. There have been a few things on a few of the makeovers that were kind of cool.

Some of it's pretty cool, but when they start using foam on the walls for stonework and crap like that you have to wonder how long it's gonna last... actually, maybe you don't wonder cuz you know it isn't going to last long at all...

Plus, imagine trying to sell the place someday! "...and here, in the spacious living room we have the livesize T Rex molding and stone textured coffee table..."

Okay. Cool features I saw on Monster House -
1) The volcano jacuzzi (okay, any jacuzzi)

2) The air tube beer transport (that I'd love)

3) Racer E-Z Chair

Oh I'm sure they have some cool stuff but the concept itself was just completely bastardized product of monster garage meets trading spaces.

Yeah, but they do it fast.

Well they don't call it, "Tasteful, classy, and well constructed house". It's "Monster House" what do you expect?

I like Monster House, but DUDE, did they fuck that biker family's house up last night! I mean these people had a really nice house and they did a super cheesy job. It looks like a "factory authorized" (pun intended for those in the know) abortion. That said, I have seen some really cool makeovers as well. Some not incredibly liveable, but that's beside the point.

I watch a LOT of similar shows and am at times both fascinated and incredulous and how good and bad some of the rooms/houses come out. Anyone remember the Trading Spaces episode where that idiot designer boozehag put moss on the walls of a house?

Last night's show is what put it over for me, they did have a nice house, and now it looks like shit. I'm into bikes and shit, but that's too far.

Last nights monster house was a joke. Their house looked good before they started.....when they got done, it looked like a dirty, cluttered garage!

I love Trading Spaces, but I didn't see the 'moss on the walls' episode. I remember the feathers glued to all the walls and artificial flowers glued to every wall in a bathroom!!!! Some of these are crazy but some of the makeovers turn out really good!

I thought it was cool as shit. It would be great for a basement, but not the main living area.

I think Monster House is really cool. The biker one last night was not my favorite. I liked the one with the sports theme. They got a really cool outdoor sports bar and grill from cal spa.

I don't know if I could let someone do that to my house, although a skydiving/airplane theme would be sweet.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Ok I'm curious. How much the home owner is paid and do they have to live with it or pay themselve to have it fixed.

There has to be some catch. Those guys totaly take a house an jackitup.

[kingbunky 3]

having those guys do your house would be like gettng monster garage to build you a custom car in a week. would you drive it? how far would you trust it?

that said, i really liked the zen house... didn't do anything too freaky to the interior (that i remember), the koi pond and hot tub in the back yard was nice.

The zen house was ok, I kinda liked the speakeasy house, but that's about it. The rest of it is seriously shitballed.

They've done that a couple times, like the truck for Coco the gorrilla, but if you notice, they focus on a single need to item and build that, they don't fuck with the rest of the vehicle.

I don't know. I would guess the really cool stuff they get from Cal Spa and other places kinda cover the "cost" of letting them use your house and I'm guessing, but cannot confirm, if you want your house done, they get to do it their way and if you don't like it, you fix it. That was all speculation.

Have you seen that really cool stuff from Cal Spa? I will probably never be able to afford the stainless steel outdoor bbq sports bar and grill, but I can dream.

. Monster House Homeowners


Basically, you own your home, you live within a one-hour's drive of L.A. or in Las Vegas, and you're looking for a change. A big change. You're also prepared to live in an RV for one week outside your house while our crew's busy working inside. There's no peeking, either. You'll just have to look at the piles of stuff pile up on your lawn and wonder until the week is up.
