Sanctuary & Ghost Hunters News

Bruce Simmons — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 00:00:28 +0000

The green-screen based sci-fi show Sanctuary has done well enough in the ratings department for Sci-Fi to pick up a 2nd season with 13 episodes.

Sci-Fi must be happy with it, as apparently are the fans of the show.

The first few episodes tested my patience… but that’s because they tried to fit so much developmental detail into those first few hours that it was blatantly obvious and painful. I personally wanted to find sanctuary from the show.

As the show progressed I felt that it found its footing and is showing a nice pace with the character developments through the episodes. I now find it isn’t a bad show to kill time with. (I did not say superb. I said wasn’t bad.)

Sanctuary was Sci-Fi’s highest rated debut episode since Eureka premiered back in July of ’06. (

It’s during the upfronts that networks give advertisers the chance to get advertising time at a discount, versus paying premium dollar during the season.

Sci Fi’s Ghost Hunters Gets A Spinoff

Bruce Simmons — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 03:50:08 +0000

I’ve previously written a review on Sci Fi Channels’ Ghost Hunters with a bit of incredulity as to their success for constantly finding ghosts, here on Screen Rant.

The ensuing comments showed me people like the show more than I expected, and sure enough, the ratings must have warranted the same perspective, as the show is getting it’s own spinoff, called Ghost Hunters International.

Ghost Hunters International will follow a new crew of investigators as they travel around Europe, including some of Europe’s legendary haunted spots doing what they do best, finding or debunking those Casper sightings!

The European team will consist of alumini TAPS investigators Robb Demarest, Andy Andrews, Brian Harnois and Donna La Croix, along with Barry Fitzgerald (from the Ghost Hunters‘ investigations in Ireland) and newcomer Shannon Sylvia.

Ghost Hunters International is slated to debut on Sci ...
