is there an overabundance of paranormal shows on television?  It seems several unsuspecting networks are cashing in on the paranormal phoenomenon…here are my favorites:

 

The Haunted on Animal Planet.  “My lhasa apso sees dead people…”  I guess one can only handle so much of Cesar Millan and his pencil thin facial hair.

Paranormal Cops on A&E.  I haven’t had the opportunity to view this show, but the previews alone are hilarious.  From what I’ve seen, here’s the premise:  take every cop cliché you’ve ever seen, add a couple more and then keep a straight face while you explain that paranormal investigations are just like criminal investigations.   

Ghost Lab on Discovery.  These guys must have some serious dirt on the CEO of Discovery Communications, Inc. because this show is just awful.  I gave up after a few episodes, but my take was that this was a group of serious wannabes who bought some equipment, threw it in a trailer and set out to investigate the same tired locations that every other paranormal team has visited previously (seriously, how many more times do we need to go to Tombstone?).  Their personalities are unpleasant and they are quick to state fact from subjective opinion.  The worst of the bunch.

I have a few ideas of my own that I’m brainstorming at the moment:

Paranormal Pastry Chefs on The Food Network - helping the dead get their just deserts…yuk yuk yuk (yes, that is how it is spelled in this context…if you don’t believe me look it up).

Ectoplasm In The Sheets:  The True Story of a Paranormal Polyamorous Relationship on Lifetime.

Paranormal Investigation Kit – $199.99 on QVC or 5 easypay payments of 39.99.
