ksmith-28626 I was very excited about this show when i first heard about it. I thought it would be something similar to NBCs How To Catch a Predator, but they are nothing alike. They are not going after people who really deserve what is coming. The episode featuring a contractor named "Ronnie" was disgraceful. All of the evidence against him was completely circumstantial and there was not a shred of proof behind it. Despite all of his legitimate sounding rebuttals to the shows questions, they continued to call them lies and began to make fun of him for the entirety of the show. For all anyone knows he could have been a bad guy, but there was absolutely no evidence to prove that. He just as well could have been telling the truth and the family was the ones who were making everything up. He did not whatsoever deserve the way he was treated for what little evidence was brought against him, and this is not a show that I would ever watch again. Save your time and don't watch this show, they aren't even funny and i cannot believe a producer allowed this to air.

Enunciated Piffle What 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.

bobgolub54 The 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.

AF A The show, called "Catch a Contractor" on Spike TV looked interesting so I have watched three episodes so far to get a feel of what the show is like. The show features two guys trying to catch bad contractors who are screwing families over. The families they find have usually given bad contractors money up front to do remodeling jobs and then these bad contractors run off with the money without finishing their jobs. The concept of the show is really good, because who doesn't like to see a bad guy get "busted"? However, I find that the show is a tad "cheesy". The main guy, Adam Carolla, is obnoxious and loud. If it weren't for him, I would like the show much more. His friend, Skip, seems like a solid, down to earth guy, which I like for a show of this type. I'm still on the fence about Skip's wife. She seems like she is doing a good job, however, it almost seems as if she is really on the show just for a "pretty factor". I understand this show is on SPIKE TV, so maybe I should just accept the cheesy and fluffy thing if I plan on watching it. This is not HGTV. If I had a choice of hosts for this show it would be someone with a personality more along the lines with Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. Adam Carolla goes over the top with sensationalism and episodes feel like a witch hunt with 20 people (camera & staging crew included) ganging up on one guy. I felt like this show was family friendly up until an episode I watched last night (3/16/2014). At the end of last night's episode Adam Carolla threw in the "M" word - about himself - which shocked me and made my stomach turn!! I did not want to mentally picture that nor did my young child, who was sitting nearby, need to hear that! It was thrown in there so quickly and unexpectedly. This is not the type of show for that nonsense. I have stopped liking the show completely! No more of this show for me!
