Monster Quest I vs MonsterQuest II
How do you think “MonsterQuest” (Season Two) is stacking up against “Monster Quest” (Season One)?

Of course, back channel hints of programs on Chupacabras, Giant Squid, Merbeings, Bigfoot, Mystery Bears, and Yeren, have been heard. But the only program schedule shared is the following one, Mega Hog, May [...]
