Destination Truth

First of all, Josh Gates is a very entertaining guy, something which has been missing from prior 'investigation' shows which scifi has aired. Amanda Tapping in Proof Positive, while a good host, was just far too serious and made the show very dry. Boston Rob in that show from last year, which I can't even recall, was obviously bored with it and falsely skeptical. It was all a show and not an overly entertaining one. Josh Gates ... he's awesome. He takes something that really does not warrant the level of serious treatment which makes people interested in cryptozoology and such things appear as weirdos and brings it down to earth. A show of this type is good for interesting people in the field of Cryptozoology. As a 30 year old who IS interested in such things, it's nice to find an entertaining, fun to watch, semi-investigative series. And it's also fun to be afraid that some of their less than smart ideas might end up with either the host or the producer seriously injured.

Cryptozoology might be considered a crackpot science, but no show makes it so entertaining like Destination Truth.

Headed by photographer Josh Gates and his young and hip production crew, they get the travel the world in search of the unknown creepy crawlies and creatures nearly every country seems to have in its culture.

The show has been around for about a season and half and we still don't know if lake monsters or Bigfoot actually exist.

So if you want exact science stay away from this show but watch it if you just want a have a good ol entertaining time.

It looks like a couple of folks don't get it. It's a drama and a comedy.

We laugh our butts off every time we watch it. Actually about half the time. The first half of each "investigation" is funny. This includes getting there, which is always a disaster. The investigation kind of slows the laughs down some as it is awful "Blair witchcraft". It's OK though as they have two investigations per show.

I wish they would just change it to more of a travel show so we would have the laughs the entire show. It would be great if they could have some guests on the show like Geraldo Rivera as he has to be the model for Josh Gates character.

It's entertaining on some levels but what it sparks in me the most is that I learn about local myths around the world and I begin to read up on them. If you watch the show, use it as a starting point to read and learn about local legends and myths that you never knew was out there (if you're into this stuff and care to look it up for yourself). It's amazing how myths spring up all over the world and have similarities no matter the people, culture, location, or even the number of skeptics; it's all connected in some way and I find that very interesting seeing how so many people notice differences in all races and cultures but ignore the similarities in our origins. I never expect these guys to find anything but I like the show. peace

Call me crazy, but wouldn't it make sense, when chasing spirits in Peru for instance, to communicate with a suspected entity in Spanish or Quechua instead of English? Inquiring minds...
