Perhaps there's a tinge of jealousy on my part for never creating a paranormal college organization.<BR/><BR/>Still, I'll give it a chance to prove itself watchable. At the very least, it could be entertaining to hear about more haunted places... provided they don't just rehash the same locations done too many times before.Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10505141907653916633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168219303449559049.post-74356859099082927952008-10-23T06:32:00.000-07:002008-10-23T06:32:00.000-07:00In the realm of television there is a most apropos term for the exact moment when a given program takes a inescapable downturn: Jump The Shark. This term references the infamous episode of the once-beloved Happy Days where The Fonz jumps a shark on water skis. To many, this was the very moment when the bells of death tolled darkly and all went to hell. It was the moment when sweet became treacle; when quirky became absurd; and when must-see became must-see-what-else-is-on.<BR/><BR/>I think Ghost Hunters: The College Years (cute, by the way) will be exactly that. Already, we can see that cable has gorged itself too much with shows that are fast devolving into sad imitations of one another. It has become an endless stream of green-hued night vision close-ups of frightened "investigators" screaming in the night for ratings, ratings, RATINGS!!Cullan Hudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16465098080944236025noreply@blogger.com
