The new shows (Paranormal Cops, American Paranormal and Ghost Lab) will be “re-upped” and slowly disintegrated. Shows that made a brief appearance will not be coming back. New shows have been announced, one coming from Pilgrim TV and Film, but they are taking a more spiritual direction, but these aren’t being seen as lasting longer than a season or single episode. The money is just not being spent any more. <a href="http://hauntedhoax.blogspot.com/2010/03/death-of-my-tv-show-and-fate-of-others.html" rel="nofollow">From HauntedHoax</a> Here’s an interesting set of comments I found while out strolling around the Internet:

Jason and Grant were fun the first season or so, but now they're lazy and content to just roll with things. They aren't skeptics anymore and are far too quick to label things paranormal (if they get off the couch). You're right, they have become very rigid and their likable style has very much evaporated. I had high hopes for Ghost Lab, but by the second episodes they were acting like clowns. I thought Ghost Adventures was going to be a joke, but there is something about it that keeps me watching. I think Zak tells a great story and I just keep tuning in. They're goofs, but they're so likable. I thought Destination Truth was hysterical from day one. You know he isn't going to find anything, but regardless of how bad things get he's still laughing. He has the roof of the plane come flying off and still keeps his wits. I can't wait for his new season to start! And I may tune in for the GH premier just to see Josh. He just makes things more exciting. Plus I wish I could look that damn cool wearing a scarf!!

Personally, my paranormal bubble has burst. Not excited about GH anymore. I think Jason and Grant got too big for their britches. I don't like them anymore. Whereas when I first started watching I thought they were genuinely lovable mugs. Now I find them pretentious and arrogant and inflexible (in how they'll investigate, with who, etc.) And don't even get me started on their possibly faking antics to "create" activity...shameful! TOTALLY agreed with all of your assessments of every show. LOLed about Paranormal State train wreck and Ghost Lab. (Thought they had some interesting theories in the 1st epi, but also in that first epi when the one guy started singing...I felt they were in it more for the show/fame/glory than actually to investigate and that instantly turned me off --and consequently made me turn them off.) GHI I just couldn't get into this year. Not even watching. But for some reason, Ghost Adventures, which I took even less seriously than PS and laughed at, is now my fave ghost show that I still DO watch. I guess because I know it's entertainment and they don't take themselves seriously. Or something. They haven't alienated me yet is all I do know. Same with Josh Gates, whose personality I found abrasive as all get out the first season. Could barely stand watching him, but...I also was compelled to watch. Then last season I was just smitten. Now I'm completely excited about DT's new season. And may watch GH's season premier only because I know JG be on it! (Wish they'd give him a big ol' premier hoopla instead.) Anyway...loved your article. Really insightful! EXCELLENT article, Rotten!
