Ghost Lab

Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs and the narrator of The Deadliest Catch (one of my favorite shows) does triple duty narrating this ghost hunting extravaganza. Two brothers from San Antonio with lots of high tech equipment travel around the country and explore ghost stories and try to capture them on a variety of instruments.

Yeah you might think it is a Ghost Hunters clone. It really isn't. Ghost Hunters was first and to me by far the most interesting ghost hunting show on TV. You just love Jason and Grant and always pull for them.

The Klinge brothers are a little bit more gruffer, a little bit more heavy handed with the ghosts and up front. They seem like guys you would like to grab a drink with after work or guys you want in your fantasy football league because they are going to put on a big feed for you with grilled everything.

The show itself, well I'd say for a ghost hunting show its ok. It was only the premiere last night and they were in Louisiana at a music hall where many rock legends got their start and then a plantation where GH have already been.

I like the show but I like Ghost Hunters better. I'm just more familiar with that cast of characters like Steve, Tango, Kris, and of course Jason and Grant.
