The Return of Destination Truth

Finally, at long last, the premiere of the 5th season of Destination Truth aired on Tuesday night.  I am a die hard Destination Truth fan, and I was really excited to see it return.  A Destination Truth marathon aired, and then 2 new back-to-back episodes were shown.

If you are a fan of Destination Truth, I do hope you continue to watch the show when it first airs.  The show has not been getting the ratings it needs on Syfy channel.  It almost did not return this season.  If you are a fan, please make sure to view it each week to show your support.

The episodes that aired on Tuesday certainly did not disappoint.  I've already gotten to see Josh fall in a river, get swept away with the current, fling himself off a bike into more water, and see Evan (a camera man from the past) return and have blood run out of his ear.  Seriously, why is anyone NOT watching these shows?  You just can't get this kind of entertainment anywhere else.

I do hope should the show ever be cancelled, perhaps another channel would pick it up.  It is an entertaining show and I feel it would do well on other channels.  Personally, I believe the Travel Channel should grab the show if they ever have a chance.  After all, Josh and his crew go all over the world.  They even go to countries I've never heard of before.  It would be perfect.  Instead of showing episodes of Ghost Adventures all night on Fridays and Saturdays, Destination Truth could take over one night.  I would be more than happy to fall asleep while watching Josh Gates.  Just saying.

Grant's Last Night on Ghost Hunters

If you are a fan of Ghost Hunters, surely you know Grant is quitting the group.  Yes, Grant decided he had a number of personal issues going on and needed to leave Ghost Hunters.  This is disappointing, but also, it has given Syfy an opportunity to milk this event for all it is worth.

For weeks, Ghost Hunters commercials have announced, "Watch Grant's last days!" and "These are Grant's final investigations!"  Seriously, they might want to calm down.  We are all sad Grant is leaving, but it shouldn't be the only thing Syfy channel is talking about. 

If I hear one more time, "Watch the episode that changes everything," I am going to scream.  Syfy channel - stop trying to get ratings simply because Grant is leaving.  What is next?  "Tune in next season to see Grant show up on one episode for 5 minutes!" or "Witness Grant's return!" when Grant decides he wants to come back anyway.

Seriously, all of this is just silly.  Let Grant leave and stop trying to make ratings out of it!

Paranormal Witness on Syfy Channel

For all of you paranormal show fans, you need to check out the new Syfy series Paranormal Witness.  Paranormal Witness premiered last night just in time for the Halloween season.  The series features reenactments of alleged actual paranormal activity.  Although I personally prefer reality shows that feature investigations, this show is certainly entertaining.

Last night, during the premiere episode, Paranormal Witness had two stories.  The first was about a family in Baltimore haunted by a ghost calling itself Emily.  The second story was about a family driving at night that sees a mysterious girl on the side of the road.

I actually preferred the second story since I am a sucker for the old "ghost on the side of the road" tale.  This one happened in Florida and it was fun to watch.  Do I believe everything I saw on the show?  No, probably not.  When people are upset, they tend to let their imagination get the best of them.  Do I believe there was some truth to the stories?  Sure, it could happen.  Some of the show was a bit melodramatic, but it was still a creepy show and worth watching.  So check out the repeat tonight at 8 pm if you get a chance. 

Destination Truth

Much to my disappointment, it appears my favorite show on Syfy Channel, Destination Truth, aired its season finale last night.  I hope I am getting incorrect information from the Destination Truth fan page on Facebook, but it sounds like I have to live Destination Truth-free for a while again.  What is up with these extremely short seasons on Syfy Channel?  First they give us the weird "syfy" spelling and now this?
