Well, the new Steve and Tango show will premier in the 10-11 pm time slot on Wednesday, November 11, 2009.  Yes, it is taking the Destination Truth time slot as DT will be wrapping up their season the previous week.

The new show has now been re-titled:  "Ghost Hunters  Academy".  Pilgrim does not have it listed on their own site as of this date so here's the new Syfy site:  http://www.syfy.com/gha/

The descripition is:  "Ghost Hunters Academy features a group of college students, led by seasoned TAPS investigators Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango, who search for the paranormal in haunted hotspots around the country and around the world."

Interesting they include the words "around country and around the world".  I'm curious of how Steve will handle "the world" aspect when he's afraid to fly even here in the U.S.

I guess the biggest question is:  will "Ghost Hunters Academy" actually fly?  We'll have to wait 2 months to see.

I'm sure it will be a riot.

Maybe Steve will explain what an "Electro" field is ?

Have you checked out the "Gear Guide" which is the replacement for the defunct "JoinTheHunt" site ?

They seem to have removed the more bizzare statements of Steve's regarding the equipment, but I'm hoping that in the Academy he will actually show and explain how they use a white noise generator "to help filter out unwanted noises during our playback"

This is going to be a hoot.  Steve, who seems to despise learning and brags that he only reads one book, teaching a bunch of people who read lots of books.  Interesting.

What gets me is that so many think this type of investigating is so difficult.  It's not rocket science, for cryin' out loud.  Hey, just read that same book that Steve did and you basically have it down pat.

Then again, maybe this will outdo GH.  If the membership on their website is any indication, they are rapidly sliding downhill. 

Maybe it will become a contest in terms of popularity.  Jason & Grant vs. Steve & Tango.  I'll watch just to see how this will play out.

Agreed. The most irritating thing about Steve——other than his Nancy Boy fear of bugs—–is that he's as dumb as a compost heap and seems very proud of it.

Harry, I'm not quite sure I'd go that far.  Steve, to some, may not be the brightest bulb and he may not care to read or go further, but he's young, a celebrity of sorts, obviously happy and did get himself on a popular TV series and now his own series, GH Academy.  I would give him a little more credit because he's probably pulling down more dollars and travelling to more places (even via the road) than most of us here even if he only accomplished this by association.  I'm thinking that's not bad for someone considered "as dumb as a compost heap".

I do have to agree with you though about his fear of bugs but I think most of that irritation should be attributed and directed to Pilgrim's editing.  I'm guessing they thrive on editing those scenes into each episode.
