Catch a Contractor Audience Reviews

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
yankee-34938 Very entertaining show. It is amazing how many scam artists are out there and how many good people fall for it. Many of this people fork over their entire savings to these shady contractors. The set up of this show is great. Using private investigators, they find these losers and lure them to phony job sites where they ambush them. Ultimately, the show gives these "contractors" (the word is used very loosely) three options: #1. give the $$$$$ back (NOT!), #2. offer for the contractor to go back to the job site and help redo their shady, unsafe, and not in-compliance work under the crews supervision, or #3. the show will help the family take the contractor to court. Eventually all of these losers take the bait and agree to go back to the job site. The show captures more and more lies on video across and eventually the contractor is ambushed again this time by the family he deceived. At the end, these family's are left in a MUCH better situation. The construction work is top notch + Adam Carolla is very funny.
McMurphy I have a special place in my heart for JUSTICE. And this show dishes it out in spades.It's super FUNNY too! I really like Kitchen Nightmares, Catfish, and the good episodes of Bar Rescue (where justice is dished), and now Catch a Contractor.One thing this show has that the others don't: Adam Carolla. And he is one funny, witty, dude that PULLS NO PUNCHES.Yes, Gordon Ramsey doesn't pull punches, and I love it, but Carolla does it in a way that's like he has no "editing function" - he says all the stuff others think, but don't say.It's so great to see the scum get their comeuppance.If you like the dry wit that's naturally funny without trying too hard, bad guys getting their as*es handed to them, and screwed people getting some restitution, you'll love this.
Michele Mertz First, lets state the obvious this is a TV show. But that goes without saying. There are so many reality shows out there that really don't have a purpose for anything but entertainment. At least with Catch A Contractor they are helping people that otherwise have reached the end of their rope and are not sure what to do next. That is where the passion that Skip and Adam have for their trade comes through. Now in regards to Adam and his method of verbal beat downs towards the hack jobs that call themselves "contractors" SO WHAT! As far as I am concerned that is very mild, to what they should have coming to them. The only reason I gave a 9 and not a 10 is because there is always room for improvement. But this show, in my opinion is nearly perfect! I look forward to watching every Sunday night!
bboykin This has the makings of a show that could go a few seasons. There is no shortage of people who have been shafted by bad contractors. There is a natural conflict build into each episode when customers meet deadbeat contractor. Plenty of emotion from suffering families. Feel good ending built in. Plenty of humor throughout. I was half afraid there would besome violence when they cornered the contractor. I think Skip or Adam could have handled it. Actually, I think Alison could have handled this first contractor. Carolla is a genuinely funny fellow. I have heard him on radio live and marvel at his ability to be humorous on cue. I can't think of anyone funnier than him off the cuff or better suited for live- roasting sheisters. His humor can be a little edgy, but hey, he's comedian. He is supposed to be funny. One of the few shows worth sitting through online advertisements for.
