Ghost Hunters did you watch last nights episode?

Well kids, it looks like Ghost Hunters, and all the powers that be may be starting to take heed of their fans. Last nights episode reminded us of something..it reminded us of what the show used to "feel" like, and lo and behold I found myself paying attention. Grant's departure aside, this show seems like it is going back to basics, and it was a refreshing change of pace from what we'd seen so many times before on the show. Could it be that SyFy is paying attention? We're doing our part to make sure the message gets out there and here's what we observed in last nights episode.

1. Less goofy, more professional interaction
2. Less talking and idle chatter (thank you)
3. Back to investigating homes (well in part, but that is ok)
4. No more over-blown, over-reactions and over dramatizations

That's in a nutshell what we observed and now we all have to ponder, will it last? We hope so because this was the first show that we actually got into..which is great because who wants to fall asleep before Paranormal Witness comes on? Not us...Your thoughts???

Grant Wilson to leave Ghost Hunters

While it is somewhat unclear why Grant Wilson is leaving  Ghost Hunters, it comes as no surprise that someone would leave this show at some point. I have often wondered how on earth these married men can manage going on case after case, leaving behind wives and children.

Wilson did indicate that the job presented some stress which does make one wonder just what strain may have resulted from his participation on the show.  I must say Grant Wilson was one of my favorites on the show.

During Wilson's time on the show, it went through some strange moments that weren't paranormal. The show did go off the beaten path for a while, and as far as TPB is concerned, the show needed to get back to basics.

The basics being, small crew, more home based investigations ie: real people, not libraries, museums, and for Pete's sake no more theaters!  We expect these places to be in all possibility "haunted." To add to that list please no more celebrity ghost hunting, it's just too obvious.

Rumors of Grant Wilson's Departure from Ghost Hunters run rampant

Another disturbing and off  putting facet of the show is the repeated "bleeps" needed to compensate for the swearing that is commonly done during investigations. I mean geesh, have some respect for the living and the dead!

TPB would cry less if some of the more verbose members of the team were saying good bye. By more verbose, we mean Amy Bruni who seems to do more talking and less listening during each investigation. Many times

Tonight's episode also struck yet another nerve with TPB, where as Investigators Amy Bruni and investigator Adam Berry were busy digging through city hall records instead of investigating ghosts.

I found this type of activity to be very unprofessional to say the least and it amazes me that some of these investigators seemingly get away with a lot of frivolous behavior and tomfoolery. I shudder to think back in the day when Brian Harnois was on the show, if Grant or Jason would have been so lenient.
