Good idea lost in the noise

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I would rather watch 10-year-old Anthony Bourdain shows rather than hear one more irritating tenor-filled nasal-ly syllable from Josh Gates mouth! This show like all his others is completely ridiculous. There really isn't anything interesting about the travel locations because Gates ruins it with is stupid comments on everything.Don't waste your time with this or any of Josh Gate's 'shows'! He's nothing more than two-bit hawker.

A romping travelogue full of fun facts, comedic turns and the occasional monster! And who doesn't love monsters?! The fist two or three episodes are a little rough, with the intrepid host coming off a little more mean- spirited than he ever does again but after these initial tender attempts the show takes off just fine, finding its unique voice.If anything, Destination Truth is a kind of hip Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. So do they ever find anything? Well, that would be telling. Lets just say that some things remain undiscovered simply because nobody seriously looked for them.And you should look for this show. You'll enjoy it. And mysteriously, for all its cleverness and adventure, it is somehow very comforting.

And you thought Jerry Springer was the bottom? Guess again. Destination Truth and Ghost Hunters are the new bottom. Springer is now like Masterpiece theaterIs Josh (the "camera" guy) supposed to be funny. Um...have you ever seen Chris Rock, John Stewart, Robin Williams, etc.Some have said this is parody. Of what? The parody was the South Park episode on this goofy concept. But you could easily watch this show and be in total awe of its stupidity and lack of originality.A parody is like um...Airplane 1 & 2 Scary Movie, 1,2,3,4 and now 5. Blazing Saddles.Unless this is a parody of itself meaning a parody of no concept. Show concept: Get about 12 cameras, including goofy ones wired in front of a cast member, helmet cams, foot cams, tree cams, cams on top of cams, infrared cams, flir cams, (note to self: invest in stock in cameras), and follow a 'crew' around looking for something that never happens...presto new TV concept for shows. Is this why no one really watches cable except for Burn Notice, Justified, Burning Bad. Don't you wish you could put those shows on your camera resume.But credit to SYFY. Let's suppose these "ghost busters" get some whopping fee like $500 week which would be overpaying for what they do. A staff of say 10 equals $5,000 for the cheapest program possible. If they can draw some 5000 eyeballs of low information idiots they can claim 'hey show us on cable'.The show could work if the guys get drunk all the time on shots of Jack Daniels, and got Katie out of those shapeless "ghost hunter' outfits and into outfits like the girls have on My Name is Earl, i.e. scantily clad females, the show would at the least have some eye candy. One guy could say, "hey I heard something weird, we have to get Katie into some cleavage outfits with tight shorts.Otherwise it is a bit fat zero....oh...wait...shhhh... I think I heard something outside...shh..hear that... (break to commercial). Repeat.

It's entertaining on some levels but what it sparks in me the most is that I learn about local myths around the world and I begin to read up on them. If you watch the show, use it as a starting point to read and learn about local legends and myths that you never knew was out there (if you're into this stuff and care to look it up for yourself). It's amazing how myths spring up all over the world and have similarities no matter the people, culture, location, or even the number of skeptics; it's all connected in some way and I find that very interesting seeing how so many people notice differences in all races and cultures but ignore the similarities in our origins. I never expect these guys to find anything but I like the show. peace
