These days the term 'reality show' can cover a multitude of things from the interminable clones of American Idol to glorified game shows like The Amazing Race. Wishing, perhaps, to capitalize on the popularity of the genre, Sci Fi Channel has also labeled its spooktackular paranormal investigation series Ghost Hunters reality TV. That seems ironic, given that the show may be dealing with phenomena that are unreal. Whatever the appropriate genre for Ghost Hunters, though, the show has had many viewers hiding behind the couch since it presented it first real-life ghost story back in 2004. In the great tradition of popular reality shows, it has gone on to be a franchise that now encompasses Ghost International and the upcoming Ghost Hunters: New Generation.
