GHOST HUNTERS

I heard FoF was picked up again. ( Hence the special celebration pic! ) This season for me was a total clunker . Really bad choices for cases, doing things that they could have disputed without even researching, like glare from glass domes and mating manatees ( I could do this show from home with the Internet ) and a swingset swinging on its own -- WTF? The only good case they did was the chupacabra. I'm really disappointed. It just got super watered down and in the end they go, "well, we could repeat it so it could be a hoax, but then that doesn't mean it wasn't real, it just means it could or could not have been a hoax..." ( hem, haw ) All I gotta say about this episode ( it was a season ender??? DT went to Antarctica ). How is it possible that the only two times they need someone in a swimsuit for the show, they manage both times to need Jael to do it? What are the odds on a team of 6 people? No Bill in a swimsuit? Chi-Lon, I'd be seriously insulted. You...

The cop dashboard chupacabra was one I had seen way way lots of times online and studied over and over. I was thrilled to see them do that one. It was popular, but then it was also authentically filmed and left some shaking their heads. We want to think it was just a dog, but how the hell did its head look like that??? I had to giggle that they brought in a miniature horse. Oh, those city kids! Still, I find their conclusions as wishy washy as a politician straddling a fence. I was pleased they picked this case, but confused they picked the alien one. WTF?? That was terrible and so CGI looking and ridiculous. There is no way an alien would walk along as people are interviewing and that no one would see it either. Double stupid. Double cheesy looking. One of the critical things on this show is that they pick the right vids to pursue. Oh, how I wish they'd pick more creepy and dark ones. It seems like all their episodes lately are daylight and boring. I am, however, pleased that the...

For our own entertainment, enjoy these deja vu classics... ( Breakfast Fact or Faked Club ) ( Scooby Fact or Faked Doo ) ( check the beginning--I'm thinking Fact or Faked might be The Goonies revisited ) ( so, whatcha think? Inspiration from the movies? ) I love FoF, so I am having fun with them because I do that when I adore something. They do make me think of Goonies or Gilligan's Island maybe... Okay, another episode of FoF is under our belts. The opening episode only teased us with what the season might be like. Now, we're into it. What did you think? I will expose my opinions in the comments with y'all. Here's what I'm curious about: Do you think they picked good cases? Do you think the right people were on the right cases? Were the results clear-cut to you? Come on, let's begin the review process...

Wahoo! New season and, yes, new tank top shots. Answer is still the same--fact! I have been waiting for this season to start forever! It moved back with GH, probably to save the old show's sagging ratings. So long as they keep it on, I'll watch it when I can get it. I have always said the premise for this show is fantastic, and I hoped that between season 1 and 2, we might see an evolution into something more endearing. Endearing? Well, we fell for Jason and Grant and their Skipper and Gilligan relationship and we fell for Josh Gates and his eccentric bunch of team members. Though I readily admit a monster crush on Ben Hansen (his brains and his looks, people!), I would like to see something that makes me come back week to week. A well-matched team could study a Triscuit cracker for a full hour and we'd be entertained to hear them speculate how they make it so airy and yet so weighty, so woven and yet so fragile. The truth is, they are likely to run into nothing terribly e...

Today, I got to be in on a Q&A teleconference with FoF's Ben Hansen ( yes the cutie in the video on the sidebar ) and the new tech member on the team, Devin Marble. They begin their second season on Wednesday the 23rd beside "Ghost Hunters." Expect me to put up my FoF reviews on Thursday mornings along with the expected tank top shots-- took new ones for this season! I had to ask Ben that, after filming 2 seasons now, if his belief in ghosts, Bigfoot or UFOs have changed. He said that ghosts and Bigfoot have not had good photographic evidence, but Bigfoot has had some compelling eyewitness accounts, but UFOs evidence photographically and by witnesses is extremely compelling. They are excited about the first two cases on the opening episode: Battle LA and Queen Mary. For those who haven't heard of the 1947 battle of LA, here's Wiki description: The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as The Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to ...

You know, I'm a lovable person. I think everyone is a little prize to be opened and cherished, to draw light to their strengths and find their weaknesses endearing. Some people, however, earn a special place in my heart because they have some amazing qualities that show their spot on the evolutionary scale shows promise for the future. Some of those qualities? Curiosity and intelligence Humor and ability to laugh at oneself, as well Saying you'll do something and doing it Whatever you find yourself doing, doing it 110% Ben Hansen of "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files" on SyFy channel is one such evolutionary divergence that proves we are headed in the right direction. Production companies, editing and cable channel's directives aside, this guy is just there and real and smart and hopeful and earnest and seriously knows his paranormal world. He was not an actor hoping to get a show. He was an investigator hoping to get a sponsor to investigate the big stuff. Sure, I...
