If you like the paranormal and you like to laugh, watch this show! It's like the Xfiles meets the brown Brady bunch on the set of Welcome to Compton. Defecio is my favorite, his ability to keep a straight face, his driving skills, and his velour jumpsuits are hilarious. They go to places that traditional ghost hunting shows never go to. They go to fun places that if you're like me, you've never really considered them to be haunted. It's like affirmative action for ghosts. I imagine the ghosts they find are as diverse as the cast. The cast all work together really well and there's no mushy relationship stuff that distracts from the plot line and destroys good shows. I expect to see this show on television for many years to come. Hopefully a movie too. When I get my tax refund, I'm buying the DVD. I wish I had a haunted place in the hood for them to investigate.

In Adam's Drive Thru Funeral Home, one team member, Matty, sat in a chair with a strobe light on which is a new way to bring ghosts out. It worked! He jumped from being touched on his left side. The tech guy, Purdy, played the vid for the establishment owner, and said he needed to step though each frame because you couldn't see it normal speed. When the strobe came on, a human-like shadow different to Matty's fixed shadow moved from his right side to his left, in three frames. Trouble is, when I froze the same frames in the full speed one, making sure the body position and facial expression, arms, hands, fingers, thumbs, eyes, and all relative positions matched exactly, there was no shadow. It took me an hour and a half on my home PVR {Paranormal Video Recorder}. In the end, like the beginning with the place name this crew haunted, this just added to the comedy, which can't be faulted.

Adam's official initial bewildered head turned to instant acceptance of their evidence, including the ghostypical EVP {Electronic Voice Phenomena} where no one really hears any distinguishable voice so always has to be subtitled like in all these other shows where everyone instantly nods in agreement. But the OPO {Official Paranormal Operations} team's bold final solution would be hard for even spectating bespectacled Adam to accept, who did not know which way to go, proving that horror and humour really are linked, in a big way. Similar to how Matt, along with the towering team leader, can look simultaneously innocent and guilty.

Sometimes scaring to give the original Ghostbusters a run for their funny - but in a RV instead of EV and big as a small house - maybe even outdoing them in creative solutions often tragically and comically too literal, the cap on whatever this spook show has bottled where not one of them is white as a ghost, is the Asian medium, Jasmine, whose more matter-of-fact procedure than anything on Earth adds that extra needed invisible dimension - of direct contact. Quite opposite to the Earthly researcher Maunda.

What paranormal entity can stand against a team where everyone makes fun of everyone else, and whose leader is the classic Defecio, who will not accept crap and defeat from any ghosts?

This show is not funny nor interesting. These are very unexpereinced group of people who don't help the people affected by the spirits at all. They act like they do so much to "help" but they do not. Here is a prime example, they investigate a piñata shop, their answer to help get rid of the female teenage ghost victim is to have a piñata of the serial killer that most likely killed her to scare her away from the piñata shop. That's horrible, pathetic, and insensitive. Obviously they have no clue how to make spirits past on and have no respect for them. One of them even mocked the teenage girl's spirit by acting like he's the serial killer piñata telling the girl to run away scared. This is so disrespectful to the spirit and to the family who lost her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this parody of all those other obviously scripted paranormal investigation shows that grace our television and computer screens. Each show was a delight in wit and silliness. Did anyone catch the UFO believer in the earliest episode recast as a sane-but-worried homeowner with a haunting problem in a later one? No?

I also enjoyed the consistent goodnatured SCRIPTED teasing between the cast members, as well as their poise and professionalism when in front of the camera. Not one showed evidence of unease or awkwardness. This troupe of actors should be proud of their results. And yes, some of them have appeared on other shows. GITH reminded me favorably of "Wellington Paranormal," a New Zealand mocumentary with a much bigger budget and befuddled cops as the protagonists. Sad GITH only ran a single season. But then again, it did what it set out to on a shoe string budget.
