“Changes to "Dead Files"”

Rebecca E.
9/18/23

Sorry to see Amy go but Cindy is an excellent replacement. I hope they will revisit some of the cases from previous "Dead Files" shows. Often when watching reruns I wonder what ever happened to these people? One in particular was a girl that a "shadow man" tried to pull through her bedroom wall badly bruising her. And there were some where Amy believed they were being abducted by aliens, and many other bizarre cases.

“Loud background music”

Eddie C.
11/7/24

All the programs on the travel channel, such as Mysteries At The Museum, have background music so LOUD that it drowns out the speaker. Get ready for a migraine after watching one program!

I'll tell you what, 4 solid days of ghost adventures is just pure punishment. This show is so fake. Are they so hard up for programming that they scrape the bottom of the barrel like ghost adventures fakery. Some of their shows like A Haunting or My haunted House actually make the hair on my arms stand up. My wife likes Dead Files although I am not a real fan, The Osborne's Want to believe is just plain stupid. I don't think the the few good shows save the channel. Expedition Bigfoot is very interesting but it is one big tease. Terror in the woods is good and a little scary. Paranormal camera is good the first time but by the seventh time it is repeated I get very bored. They have the bad habit of repeating shows over and over again. I really think the cable companies should drop it. I feel I get no ROI from this show on my very expensive cable bill.

My wife and I both love topics of the shows, however; the back-ground music is so loud we can hardly hear what is being said. The loud music has become so irritating we look for other channels & programs to watch.
What are they trying to accomplish with such loud music that nearly overrides the narration? Very irritating

Tip for consumers:
If your TV has closed captions, turn it on.

Andrew Zimmern only is one of the most warm and wonderful hearted people. He treats everyone with respect all over the world. One truthful comment and he is pulled off the air? He is the best thing your channel has to offer and I always looked forward to every new episode. Sometimes the truth hurts but people need to grow up and accept that not everyone has the "best" food. It's better to be truthful and not always sugar coat it like so many others. BRING him back!

What happened to shows that actually give you travel tips? Ie: Great hotels, Top 10 beaches, etc. All that is ever played anymore are shows about Ghosts or Food. Travel Channel used to be my go to channel but sadly not anymore.

This channel is beyond stupid all that pseudo paranormal stuff and nonsense. I deeply mourn the old Travel Channel and its educational interesting enlightening and intelligent content. Whoever took over the Travel Channel should change the name because the name itself is "fake advertising" a non existent content. Something like "Silly Morbid Channel" or "Just a Fright Channel" would be far more appropriate.

I've been a fan of the Dead Files since it started & I, like MANY others are annoyed when they try to pass off reruns as new episodes, when they are in reality they are old episodes with new annoying tweets from random people at the bottom of the screen. Its really annoying, make it STOP! If I wanted to hear what every moron on Twitter has to say, I would be on Twitter! This show was cool during seasons 3-7, the rest suck. Amy is more & more vague every show, with her favorite lines being "this is bad bad bad" or "I've never seen THIS before!" Whoop-de-DO! Pay me millions & I can stand there & utter more creative phrases than that! She needs to chill on the facial fillers too. Looking back at season 1 to now you can see the extent of it, she looks rubbery. Time to drop this show, they've had their day in the sun. Quit before its too late to save ANY credibility.

I'm so sick and tired of the paranormal junk that's taken over the entire Travel Channel. I used to always turn to this channel when I would turn on the tv. I miss watching all of the real travel shows like No Reservations, Bizarre Foods, etc. This channel has turned into my least favorite.

Why is it mostly paranormal caught on camera and the museum? Where's all the other shows. I'm not watching nearly as much anymore. So disappointed. Bring back the Bigfoot shows, terror in the woods, etc.

I hate when they yell and scream but don't have any proof. You are investigators why in the hell you are jumping when you need to tell the camera man to point over there. The yelling is scaring the ghost away... lol. Lord Jesus!

I used to watch this channel all the time. I don't have a problem with paranormal shows but it's been way overdone. What I have the most problem with though is the lazy writing on these shows. I don't need highlight shows where the same thing is repeated over and over. That is just plain lazy writing. Gives the writing an excuse not to write new content. I have now gotten to the point that if something is nothing more than an extended version, or highlight show, I delete it and don't watch. I watched it once, I don't need to see it again, it wasn't that interesting the first time around. Come on, don't drag out shows such as Ghost adventurers during their hiatus just by editing together a bunch of stuff from the regular season and put it on for 2 hours. BORING. Please come up with a new show, let's get back to travel shows.

The travel channel used to be a good channel. It was very informative and very pleasant to watch seeing all the different countries in the world. Now the travel channel is nothing but ghosts and evil. We have enough for that reality in the world today we don't need this. I would hope in light of the ratings that you would readjust your channel back to what it used to be when people love to watch it feels good about it made plans for their lives for vacations because you were giving information that was necessary. The information you're giving all seems immoral and Godless.

Bring back real travel shows. Josh Gates and Andrew Zimmerman are the only thing this show has. All these ghost, paranormal, haunting shows are crap and should only be aired in October. Please bring on the good historic/travel based shows.

I did not know the travel channel had a website. The only show I have been watching on the travel channel is Anthony Bourdain No Reservations. The site has videos of most of the shows and that is great too. The reason I am writing this review is to tell people that they have a mobile version for phone that can act as a free travel guide to where ever you are going!

I do not use the foul language that Gates does so why should I watch him on television!? We can even watch WE TV without the language Gates uses. Mysteries at the Museum host doesn't use that type language. This is a civil society. The only use for the foul mouth Gates has is to shock people when either making a point or describing a worthless person. Its a real shame Gates has to use the language he does on national television... you've lost a viewer.

I just recorded an episode of "These woods are haunted" on the Travel Channel. It was advertised as "new", but was a rerun. 3rd time this has happened. False advertising and annoying as hell. Not to mention you have to basically hold the remote in your hand to fast forward through the asinine amount of commercials for "discoveryplus". Done watching this crap channel.

Why do you continually list your shows as current? You rebroadcast shows dated 2020-2021 when 10 years old. Just because You purchased the show in 2021 does not mean the show is. Are you so desperate for viewers that tricking them in to believing these are new shows. Several of your shows deliberately dated this way. Try producing your own current shows and stop misleading the public.

I love all the shows as a Trump Supporter its all true. I believe everything even that monsters are real. I am so glad we do not live in a democracy and we live in a republic so my vote here in Ohio means more than all the votes in CA. Go electoral college. Glad I decide who becomes president not a NY or CA person. I decide who becomes president and i believe in ghosts.

The travel channel is fine programming except for the ridiculous show Ghost Adventures. What s sham. Halloween 2018 proved it beyond the shadow of a doubt and is an insult to the travel channel viewers.

The Travel channel is horrible! It needs to be taken off of the air immediately! What once was a channel whose programming focused on our beautiful world, and the various fascinating cultures that it contains, now focuses on Satan, demons and ghosts. Your programming director needs to be fired, and the channel taken off of the air!

I still remember that i couldn't wait to come back from work to see Ian and the rest of the team, travelling like crazy, from tropical destinations, through desserts, through mountains and distant shores.
Almost as if this period belonged to another life...

Impractical Jokers is a Stupid & Idiotic show. Please, remove it from programming!
I don't watch the travel channel because of this farce! It only takes up a of of programming time. Anyone that watches this farce does NOT have a life!

Is the Travel Channel that hard up they must program this show or is this a joke too?
