I've written about it a couple of times and I I can guarantee I will get numerous people who just can't accept that this stuff is no good.

But it’s “catechism”, not “cadacism”.

As soon as I hear of it, the DVR is going to be set to record every instance of the show. On the whole ghost thing, are there any plans to help explain why some seemingly intelligent folks really believe they saw a ghost? I know you mention tackling their equipment, but there are a lot of folks that may just not have the background to know exactly how fallible the human mind is, nor how susceptible it is to being fooled. Between electromagnetic stimulation, sleep paralysis, poor diet, retinal after images, pareidolia, etc. a lot of folks just fool themselves, but otherwise are generally rational and sane human beings.

We need a skeptical take on all the crappy shows out there now. If there's anything average skeptics can do to get this thing on the air, let us know.

I love the idea of a "Skeptolab". (Though I have to admit I picture it like the Batcave with labels like Skeptoccilloscope or Skepto-atomic pile.)
