TemplateMonster's problems:
They allow designs that have ripped other people's sites to be sold for wholesale with little regard to who got ripped.
Most of the time, you still need a web monkey to customize the flash. I have done quick cash projects doing this, because clients are clueless.
A big company would never use a template, and therefore they serve their purpose nicely by, like other's have suggested, letting us not care. The client wants it, we want money, everybody happy. Except yo' portfolio.

I've had clients asked me to match their site with their existing print marketing materials. What do you do then Template Boy?

Templates are for people who want to make their own company website to save cash. They get frustrated with the learning curve. They buy a template. They fuck it up. Everyone thinks they just ripped someone else off. They lose out. Designers prevail.

customizing the templates to the current content is annoying as all hell.
plus, I have used them in a couple of projects that didnt have the money for original designs..... I ended up making about 2k anyway....
they don't go in my portfolio but they go on another site that I am making specifically for low end peeps.... those files btw in flash on templatemonster are not organized....not named......and they are absolutely horrible to customize... you need more then your usual web monkey for the flash....
and doing the psds is really annoying.....
