I am just wondering if anyone her loves this show as well.  The season premiere was last nigh and the TAPS gang was in Tombstone, AZ at the famous Bird Cage Theater....awesome.  I love this show and have since it debuted on Sci-Fi a couple of seasons ago.

Although While I find it to be fascinating and cool I really can't watch it at night in the dark.  The show can make you start hearing all the sounds your house makes.

Wow, I'm a little late to this post...but yeah, I do like this show. I don't know that I believe most of what's going on, though I think the hosts believe that its real. They seem like straight forward, honest guys. I do love a good ghost story. I've been watching it since the first episode.

Yikes... loooong time ago...

Anyways, I'm more of a skeptical person, so I try to look at these things from a skeptical viewpoint. Unfortunately, most of the time these shows are biased towards the "ghost theory" and not the rational theory. As for the show itself, I think I've seen a few minutes of it, and it looks like very other paranormal show I've seen. ;)

Well the thing I like about the show is the hosts (at least on the surface) go in to a house/building with a skeptical eye towards actually trying to disprove what (if they find anything) is going on.

I also realize, however, that I am watching something that has been edited so we see what they want us to see.  That being said, the personalities are cool and the stories are fun...I love the show.

Yea I am a big fan of the show as well , I am ready for it to return some stuf you just can't explain , I like  it as well that they try to dis prove the hunting instead of prove it.

I think that's why I like it too. I'm not a ghost groupy..but I do find the shows where they "capture" something on film interesting. I'm a skeptic too...I don't think I believe in ghosts, but its fun to be surprised by the voices and shadows they see.

Got to be honest, when I first started watching GH, I was a HUGE Most Haunted fan. The thing I love about the TAPS team is that they don't automatically assume spirit activity straight away.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: [entering the mess hall] Coffee, black.
Neelix: Uh, sorry, Captain. We lost two more replicators this morning...
Captain Kathryn Janeway: Listen to me very carefully, because I'm only going to say this once: Coffee. Black.
Neelix: Yes, ma'am.

I saw one episode. I didn't like it. The fact they didn't have proton packs annoyed me. :P
Kidding aside, I didn't see anything that interesting. I gotta say those shows where they go to haunted places and talk to the people that saw things are more interesting to me. Like said above, I did like it that they took a scientific approach to it and didn't assume it was a ghost right away.
