“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.

Top Critical Review

“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!

The creepy shows are fun on occasion, but all the time? Nah. You are the TRAVEL. CHANNEL. LLet's see some traveling. I want exotic locations, and paradise destinations, and to see how people in other places live and what they like to do for fun, you know, like you used to do. Right now, your channel is a fly-over zone.

I taped what are your segments on flight 40 one the crash in the Everglades in 1972. I have from Miami I was a child back then but I remembered if it was yesterday. But you people did not betray what actually happened on that flight. I had nothing to do with anything that is with the supernatural nothing why you did not portray it that way I will never understand but you need to be honest what you tell people on the shelves. It was pilot error and everybody knows it so why are you doing this to these people I've heard the stories for years and years decades about what happened is a flight but would you portrayed was so inaccurate. It is wrong to do this on the 50th anniversary of that plane crash you might want to update your episode

I just watched a couple of episodes of Ghost Loop. Really? This is as scripted and stupid as Mountain Monstors. WTH Travel Channel?
You used to be one of my favorite channels.Im sure that you guys dont read your reviews because of you did you wouldn't keep putting on these stupid shows.It just keeps getting worse.
Who decides what shows goes on Travel Channel? I dont know if your catering to a bunch of stupid hillbillies but no thank-you.
I am done with Travel Channel.

Tip for consumers:
Dont watch it!!

What used to be a nice mixture of food and travel programming has turned into a complete joke of a network. Paranormal activity is on the same level as horoscopes. All of the spook shows on "Trvl" is nothing but contrived nonsense.

Travel channel is awful, part of the cable fee I'm paying and never anything on there anymore worth watching. That guy Zimmerman is on that channel eating disgusting bizzare crap or the other guy is eating himself to death or the stupid ghost shows are running every single time I try to watch. Most of this channel is about food and we already have food channels. We want travel info. Bring back Hotel Impossible and some of the shows actually traveling to places. Bourdain was your saving grace and he is, unfortunately, gone. Please clean up the Travel Channel and make it the great channel it used to be.

I love the TravelChannel, I love all the shows, except for the Tennessee Wraith Chasers. They are so phony and unbelievable, it's amazing how this show makes your other ones less believable as well. They are a joke.

Why is everything about the paranormal!
What does this have to do with travel!

I used to enjoy the Travel Channel, I still find myself going to the channel but just to be disappointed that what is on only has to do with ghost and goblins.

Very sad

Why is it that the channel has being playing reruns as new shows. I'm positive I've watched the expedition unknowns already and then tonight ghost adventures (which is one of my least favorite shows on the channel now) is playing a rerun and has it listed as a new show. Hoping this isnt what happens all season.

This used to be my go-to channel to watch. Thanks to the Discovery Channel, who bought the channel, it is now trash tv. Nothing but paranormal crap shows. Boy, what a disappointment. Just like the Discovery Channel and TLC that are shells of their former shelves, now the TRVL Channel has become the same. I hope the American people quit watching this crap to prove that we dont want this crap on tv.

Leave it to bunch of stupid idiot corporate executives at Discovery Channel, to change the content of the travel channel to one of paranormal, ghost shows. My rating of this channel is ZERO. I have removed it from my favorites list and am seriously considering calling Frontier cable to downgrade my package to get rid of the "Travel" Channel. I paid extra, just to have this channel added to my lineup. Time to cut the cord!

I refuse to watch the travel channel for the paranormal venue has nothing to do with travel in my opinion. I can understand around Halloween. This channel has lost a great audience throughout the great country of the USA

My wife and I used to watch this channel none stop, food destinations, best places to dine and all the other wonderful traveling food stops. All this ghost stuff and museum stuff stinks. Used to be a 5 star channel

I was very disappointed to see an episode show the people making a small incision in a live pig to bleed to death. How sad to see this torture happening. Cant the slautering be done in a more humane manner? I hate to think of children watching this. This should not have been shown.

I would love to actual see the host travel to different places and talk about the best places to see. Andrew Zimmerman does a little of that, but he mostly talks about food. I would love a show that share tourist and non tourist places to visit, and discuss price and how to get the most for your money.

I love most of the paranormal stuff as of up to now. Now you've dumbed everything down with Ozzie Osborne. I don't see the humor in his lethargic reaction. Sharon and Jack are fine. I used to look forward to your programming until now.

What does the Travel Channel have to do with ghosts? We used to love the Travel Channel with all its great shows like traveling with Sarah and the other actual shows that dealt with travel. Now I can't find anything on the travel channel having to do with traveling. They need to be honest and change the name of the show to ghost chasers!

Everytime I turn on the travel channel I see the same repeat shows. Enough already! I pay for that channel and am sick of constantly seeing ghost adventures and paranormal caught on camera. Burnt out. Can't stand ghost adventures. Will be canceling the channel if programming doesn't change. Lazy producer's of the channel is my thinking

This used to be one of my favorite channels. Now it is completely unwatchable. It should be called the Ghost Channel. There are so many beautiful places and things on earth, and ghost or paranormal is definitely NOT one of them. The staff who is responsible for the programs should be permanently fired. Shame on you Travel Channel!

You have turned one of the best channels on cable to probably the worst. I miss the real travel shows with Anthony Bordain, Jack Maxwell, Andrew Zimmern, Samantha Brown, etc. Will never watch it again with what you have on now. What genius decided to destroy your brand?

NO MORE PARANORMAL SHOWS! What are the head honchos thinking? They're obviously not very intelligent. Paranormal shows are everywhere now... yawn. There are more commercials during Ghost Adventures than there is content of the show. And I am sick to death of reality shows. To me, they often portray the Ugly American. Bad grammar, vulgarity, sexual innuendo... What happened to the classy, intelligent shows such as Fraser? Is it because everything is so dumbed down now that younger viewers can't understand the nuances in the repartee between characters that makes it so funny? How many show biz types actually have critical thinking skills? Do all the programs have to have potty humor to make it funny? How low we have become. I will no longer watch the Travel Channel until it is under new management who think wisely about programming and ads. And they're worried about low viewership, but yet wonder why? Too many commercials! There must be a cadre of baboons running this network!

There is undoubtedly a niche for the shows currently on The Travel Channel (and I use the channel's name reluctantly). But, name it honestly (the Paranormal Channel) and someone realize that there is an audience for the shows the old Travel Channel presented. It gave people ideas on places to visit, gave people without current means to travel a chance to see places they might someday be able to visit, advertised little known destinations and, in short, was fun to watch. I miss the pleasant, fun and joyful old shows, but the mislabeling is what bugs me the most. It also overlooks an entire demographic/audience. Someone wake up, a channel like the old one just might turn out to be surprisingly popular.

This was a decent channel on our Directv line up and now it's wasted with horrible content. I wish they would return to what a Travel Channel should be. I get more entertainment watching CSPAN compared to this.

Why do you show the same "OLD" reruns of Ghost Adventures after the Ghost Adventures crew abandoned their original, loyal, and faithful audiences. And then travel channel will run an old show and then put "new" next to it. Discovery+ has stolen most of the Ghost hunting show's and left travel channel"paying" customers with the leftovers. FYI this sux's.

It's too bad that a quality network resorts to using phonies with disreputable equipment to entertain us. I watched one show and decided to look up one cast member. Funny how the article on him proved him to be a con and charleton. Why not get back to TRAVEL. Josh Gates is cool, zak bagans isn't.
