“Changes to "Dead Files"”

Rebecca E.
9/18/23

Sorry to see Amy go but Cindy is an excellent replacement. I hope they will revisit some of the cases from previous "Dead Files" shows. Often when watching reruns I wonder what ever happened to these people? One in particular was a girl that a "shadow man" tried to pull through her bedroom wall badly bruising her. And there were some where Amy believed they were being abducted by aliens, and many other bizarre cases.

I'm a dedicated Travel Channel customer and am confined to my bed so I watch Tv quite a bit.
I've noticed the ghost stories programs as well as others are reruns and no new series or stories. Also the Paranormal caught on camera is a great example of my observations. I love a great ghost or paranormal story but I'm tired of watching the same programs again and again. If this doesn't change I will try to look for another station.

Why do you continually list your shows as current? You rebroadcast shows dated 2020-2021 when 10 years old. Just because You purchased the show in 2021 does not mean the show is. Are you so desperate for viewers that tricking them in to believing these are new shows. Several of your shows deliberately dated this way. Try producing your own current shows and stop misleading the public.

I'll tell you what, 4 solid days of ghost adventures is just pure punishment. This show is so fake. Are they so hard up for programming that they scrape the bottom of the barrel like ghost adventures fakery. Some of their shows like A Haunting or My haunted House actually make the hair on my arms stand up. My wife likes Dead Files although I am not a real fan, The Osborne's Want to believe is just plain stupid. I don't think the the few good shows save the channel. Expedition Bigfoot is very interesting but it is one big tease. Terror in the woods is good and a little scary. Paranormal camera is good the first time but by the seventh time it is repeated I get very bored. They have the bad habit of repeating shows over and over again. I really think the cable companies should drop it. I feel I get no ROI from this show on my very expensive cable bill.

Alaskan triangle episode and other shows have too much noises and noise tracks. You can't hear what people are saying. Who is the jerk who is putting the noise track in all the shows. Is he an idiot trying to lose ratings. If I can't hear what people are saying why watch. I don't want to hear the noise track. It's not all the time. When you want to create drama you put this stupid noise in all your shows which then you can't hear what people are saying. WTF! Stop it fire the asswhole who is ruining your programming.

I am sick and tired of having ghost adventures crammed down my throat all day every day. Today is thur supposed to dead files but for some time now it's been changed to ga. New episode of df tonight but yet you have ga on all day and night. Who is doing your show lineup? Who makes these decisions? Because I know I am not the only one that Is sick of seeing this show all the time. But I'm sure you are not caring what I think just going to keep pushing what you think is your cash cow. Used to like ga. No longer do though all thanks to your incessant choices in programming

Everytime I turn on the travel channel I see the same repeat shows. Enough already! I pay for that channel and am sick of constantly seeing ghost adventures and paranormal caught on camera. Burnt out. Can't stand ghost adventures. Will be canceling the channel if programming doesn't change. Lazy producer's of the channel is my thinking

I stopped watching this channel, not interested anymore! There are no shows about travel what I love the most! Only Ghosts and Paranormal things. It is ridiculous! There were great shows about food and different places all over the world, which I found really fun, where did all this go?

Less is better. You have ruined the paranormal shows with integrity by adding idiot shows. Such as... Ghost Adventures, Ghost Brothers and the absolute worst is Mountain Monsters.
Please ask your programming people to get their head out of their rear and put on shows with a little integrity. You have done it in the past and we are certain you can accomplish it again.

I do not use the foul language that Gates does so why should I watch him on television!? We can even watch WE TV without the language Gates uses. Mysteries at the Museum host doesn't use that type language. This is a civil society. The only use for the foul mouth Gates has is to shock people when either making a point or describing a worthless person. Its a real shame Gates has to use the language he does on national television... you've lost a viewer.

No ghost is left unhaunted on the glut of paranormal shows currently clogging The Travel Channel's prime-time schedule. Who'd have thought that ghosts=travel? Certainly the first thing that crosses my mind on vacation! Seriously, I enjoy the food programming--even the wacky ones--but endless marathons of ghosts and aliens? Not so much.

Why is it that the channel has being playing reruns as new shows. I'm positive I've watched the expedition unknowns already and then tonight ghost adventures (which is one of my least favorite shows on the channel now) is playing a rerun and has it listed as a new show. Hoping this isnt what happens all season.

I would love to actual see the host travel to different places and talk about the best places to see. Andrew Zimmerman does a little of that, but he mostly talks about food. I would love a show that share tourist and non tourist places to visit, and discuss price and how to get the most for your money.

I love most of the paranormal stuff as of up to now. Now you've dumbed everything down with Ozzie Osborne. I don't see the humor in his lethargic reaction. Sharon and Jack are fine. I used to look forward to your programming until now.

Ghost shows are fun BUT the language should be good. I watch all of them, but I hate it when Amy on Dead files just blurts out that ugly word. ALL THE TIME. It doesn't make her A better actress and you can tell her I said so.

While I understand how others dislike the current ghost platform on the network... even that does ebb and flow over time... But I find it hard to give ratings to any channel that promotes Fox "news"... seriously... you shouldn't take it there

I have been a fan of all the paranormal shows that Travel Channel used to offer for many years. This past year I have noticed, as have friends and family that watch, how OLD the reruns are, how OFTEN they are repeated, and the worse part, how ALREADY shown shows are being listed as NEW on the channels guide! Really?
TC needs to step it up if you want to keep your 'paranormal' viewers around much longer, and there are a LOT of us out here. Just look at the viewer numbers on Destination America if ya need more 'inspiration'.

It is absurd to conclude you can move a 1 ton stone on log rollers, the same as a actual 25 ton stone would be moved. It asinine to mathematically come to this conclusion...

What have ghost and paranormal activity got to do with travel. This use to be my favorite channel. I loved the adventure of seeing and learning about new places. Bring back Samantha Brown and get back to traveling please.

Travel channel AKA paranormal channel stinks & I enjoy GOOD and NEW paranormal stories. They claim shows are 'new' yet, they are repeatedly recycled old stories except for paranormal caught on camera which viewers write, film & present. I thought that narcissist's Zac Bagan's shows were unbearable crap until seeing (about 2 mins) of the Osbourns watching re-runs...'new show' Extreme Paranormal Witness? It is old, RE-RUNS. We liked Deadfiles but now they only show re-runs. DONE paying big bucks for directv. TV in general stinks but travel channel is unbearable garbage.

I used to love Dead Files, but now, all the "new shoes" are reruns. Same for Portals from He'll. So what the he'll is going on, Travel Channel?

I seriously cannot believe that you Deliberately didn't promote, or advertise the beginning of Paranormal Lockdown, then you cancel it?! Why because of Zak?! Or some other idiot who didn't like Nick? Honestly you made a Huge mistake there. And lost so many viewers in the process! As for Zack's show? Totally disgusted with his behavior And especially that he fakes evidence! Yup the majority of his FORMER fan base knows All about that. So why watch something that could very probably be fake. Nick n Katrina had a great repore together. And their show was totally believable and they were respectful of the spirits they encountered. Quite frankly, that was one of the main reasons that I switched my dish package to include your channel so I could watch it! And now you put on this STUPID ghost bait in place of it?! What a freaking joke! The show is SO lame! Already know what's going to happen after just one episode! The Only shows left that I am willing to watch is Dead Files because Amy is the real deal. And Kindred spirits because they truly want to help people. U mess with those shows and I will save myself some money and drop your stupid channel. U don't simply take off a great show just because of some person doesn't like another. Not only is it bad for business, but for crying out loud, act like professionals! U aren't in elementary school anymore! What a waste of a great show over petty bull$#*!! Grow up!

Travel Channel used to have a lot of good shows. Now it is mostly about ghosts, Aliens and FOOD! I agree to some of the people who write reviews. IT IS NOT FOOD NETWORK!
