Before embarking on a successful career in show business, Adam Carolla was a carpenter. The comedian & radio personality returns to his roots in a Spike TV reality series, Catch a Contractor, which launched last spring.
Working with a pair of detectives, Carolla (ex-The Man Show) locates shady contractors who've fleeced clients. The format is similar to MTV's now defunct Bully Beatdown, except there's no violence involved. Well, that's the intent, anyway. Carolla doubles as one of several executive producers for the show, at least as listed in the credits. The show was so popular at its launch that Spike expanded it from a half-hour to a full hour for the 2nd "season" in the fall.
Speaking of the 2nd season, here's a sample clip:
Good stuff, but unfortunately, Viacom was hit with a lawsuit earlier this year due to a crew botching a clean-up job. It may only be a mere pothole in terms of the series' longevity.
Rating: A.
