Ratings Alert
Maintaining its status as far and away the #1 paranormal investigation series on all of television, Ghost Hunters drew season highs in Household ratings (2.2) and total viewers (3.1 million) during its telecast last night on Wednesday, October 21, airing from 9-10 PM ET/PT.
The episode, featuring an investigation at Chicago’s Congress Theater, posted a season high in Adults 18-49 (1.81 million), while also delivering 1.9 million Adults 25-54.
Ghost Hunters more than doubled the audience totals for this week’s new episodes of the competing paranormal series Ghost Lab on Discovery and Extreme Paranormal on A&E.
In October 2004, Syfy introduced Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson plumbers by day, Ghost Hunters by night! The success of its spin-off series, Ghost Hunters International, cemented the Ghost Hunters brand as the top paranormal franchise in cable. The franchise just expanded further with the green light of a brand-new series, Ghost Hunters Academy (premiering November 11, 2009 @ 10 PM).

The question is why? Are the viewers tuning in to see a mini “collargate” or are they true fans who believe the plumbers will come thru for them once again.
Do they know that Jay and Grant bailed on the Halloween Special? Do they know that Meatloaf was a possibility for that Special until the YouTube video debunking the water bottle apportation appeared?
I met them all at Fort Mifflin. I feel Steve and Tango were truly sincere. It was Tango who came up to me and wanted to know whether I had any personal experiences. I am looking forward to their show.
Any opinions as to why they remain number one people?
This has got to be a play on facts. That, for totally unknown reasons, may have been the episode that most people watched, but it wasn’t because the episode was good or supposed to be good or better than others in the past. This season so far has been a total dud, and the Congress Theatre was more dud than most with nothing paranormal caught, just a thermal reflection of crew, which has happened before and passed off as something paranormal. NOT!
