I have been recording these to my DVR but haven't gotten around to watching them yet, should I even bother myself to make time to do so?

I've watched a couple of episodes of this and I'm not sure..

If you like to see some less common urban legend in real filming spots, sure. That was cool enough to see some hiking around in areas I haven't seen before. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure some of the investigators are recycled. The whole thing struck me as a combo between the fact/faked show and the animal/legend hunter show.
I think this show might show a promise of showing off some more local-ish legends. Which is cool. But it is mostly traveling during the day building up to the night and then night investigation with doo-da's and gadgets.
Yes, I am a cynical and jaded jacknape. I try to see all three sides of the coin- do you?

Hello rashore.

Very interesting. Hey I really love doo-da's and gadgets, they expose some of the best evidence imo. Thank you.

Any other opinions?

Whoa, woah, woah. Excuse the hell out of me for asking a question but, these are forums for doing that, right?

Some kind of paranoia, probably because of the strong willed, over bearing skeptics here, is prevelant, I can tell. Just forget the whole fricken thing, okay. Better now? Does that help reduce your fear of someone stating a contrary opinion?

I responded to rayshore's post (thus the use of the quote button) that "the investigators are recycled". Otherwise, I do not understand your post above.

Can't say I've heard of this show but it sounds interesting I might just have a sticky.

Okay, reread your post when fully awake. Now I understand, sorry. I don't think you want my opinion. I watched one episode, but I'm not a believer in the stuff they chase after.

I have watched a couple of episodes, and it is fairly entertaining. Although, what kind of show can you really take too seriously with Jack Osbourne as a host. The two shows I have watched have presented a couple of interesting legends, but offer no real form of evidence at shows end. If you want to be entertained for a little while it's ok, if you are looking for hardcore proof, serious scientific investigation skills, etc.. then look elsewhere. Two of the investigators are from Fact/Faked as well.

Jack Osbourne wasnt in the last couple of episodes due to being diagnosed with MS.

But, yes, this program is pure entertainment yet with each successive episode I have watched (and I watched them all) I found my interest waning more and more.

It is just the conduct of the investigators themselves. Pfft! :rolleyes:

I personally love this show. The legends that they investigate I haven't even heard of! Except for the "skin walker" legend. That's something I wouldn't investigate at all. The swamp Lady was a scary episode (at least to me). I think it's interesting.

Jack Osbourne? The spawn of Ozzy and the red haired Sharon? And the purple haired wannabe on E?

You really want to take seriously anything an Osbourne is mixed up in?

H'm. I'd think harder if I were you. :td:

They are what they are - pretty entertaining, but that's about it.

Cool to hear about some of the more lesser known urban legends out there, but they are all fairly transparent.

The best part, however, was the Skinwalker episode when he's filming himself in front of the store and the sign behind him says LIQUOR SLOTS.

I almost peed myself laughing.
