Monster House - Lost it's charm??

[Bo3b]

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to posit something. We here at our house are big Monster House fans, and my wife is especially fond of Steve. *lol*

But my question here is, with a show like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on the air now, has Monster House lost some of it's appeal and charm? It's seemed to me that over the last few months, the episodes that have been new have appeared to do less and less to 'monsterize' a given house, and EM:HE just ups the ante for this type of project. Wouldn't it be AMAZING to see a Monster House project with an ABC-TV/Disney level budget??? At the very least, this show needs a makeover of it's own...more guys on a build, bigger prizes...something??!??

Oh...and kill that freakin' theme song while you're at it. :rolleyes Have the Monster Garage guy do it.

Thoughts?

I agree about Extreme Makeover. It makes Steve's projects look small and easy.

::sigh:: But he's so hot!!!

I know....I KNOW!!!!!!

If I hear my wife say it one more time...I'll...I'LL...*sigh*... I won't do anything, will I?

*heh*

Yeah..it sorta has gone somewhat downhill for me. Mostly because they played so many damn repeats, that I rarely check to see when it's a new episode anymore. But, when I DO catch a new one...I'm not liking the "projects" that they chose to do.
To compare it to EM is really hard cause MH's whole thing is to have "regular people" do the work in hopes of doing it in a very specified time frame and win a prize.
The EM is basically giving a "needy" family thousands of dollars of work/stuff to improve (basically give a new home) what they have.

I do know what you're saying though. My "lack of interest" is due to not enough new episodes and too many repeats.

Yes, it has been hard waiting for new episodes. I don't know what is up with that, since they were completing a new house every 2 weeks through the first and second season. Maybe they're saving them up??? I don't know. The Viking house had some fun drama, though!

[Ilikai]

Viking house was great for drama, in fact I got to see when it repeats cause I missed some of the middle while doing dishes. (yes I am domestic, not domesticated though) I do have to say that its hard to compare the two shows since MH deals with a redecorating theme and EM:HE deals with a total living upgrade for a family. I do have to say though that I do look for MH in the tv guide and catch EM whenever I have nothing else to watch.

[BadBart]

I have to say that Monster House hasn't lost any charm for me, whatsoever. In fact, a sick little part of me loves some of the more recent episodes when one of the crew has turned out to be a real loser. The tension makes for great drama.

I'm still watching MH, but it's really lost its charm for me.

In A Fix, however, has become its replacement. Haven't missed an episode yet. More Justin!

[Maveno]

In a Fix is great John!

Although I'll still watch MH, the charm has dwindled.

I'm going to have to find another show to be on so I can be special again
