The TV show was ok, but the documentary (which happens to be the very first show they did) is what put them on the map.
Paranormal activity drew a lot on these shows.

Will have to see the movie then. My girlfriend and I watch a lot of these shows because they are pretty much the only things on tv we can agree to watch together. One good thing about living in the UK is watching Most Haunted, which was the first of these shows and which Ghost Hunters ripped off (and does a poorer job of IMO). We're pretty excited to watch this year's Most Haunted Live Halloween special which goes every night for 8 nights and is more fun than the prerecorded shows. Even if you think the shows are fake they are still pretty entertaining in a professional wrestling kind of way. We're trying to get tickets to the Most Haunted Live, or failing that we're looking to spend a night here next week, where both Most Haunted and Ghost Hunters have visited:

Apparently witches used to hang out here and do crazy stuff. Would be fun!
