Big Vision Listens September 28, 2006
22 out of 22 found this review helpful
Big Vision, the company responsible for putting out "Ghost Hunters: Season 2, Parts 1 and 2" and "Ghost Hunters: Season 1," still have a long way to go with the production quality of their discs, but they definitely listen to their customers and attempt to make corrections. For starters, they've hulked up the DVD cases for Season 2, making it virtually impossible for the discs to become dislodged during shipping. This was a major complaint of many folks of Season 1's release. Secondly, the picture has gotten better. Granted, it's not perfect, and it's still too grainy during the investigations to see everything that's going on, but it has improved slightly. Finally, the audio is okay. As stated before, there is still plenty of space for changes and improvements, but Big Vision seems to be taking its customers advice to heart.
Now, on to Season 2, Part 1, in which we find Jason and Grant and the rest of the TAPS team seeking out more ghosts or lack thereof. This particular set includes one of my favorite cases: Myrtles Plantation. They also revisit Eastern State Penitentiary and tackle the Rolling Hills Asylum, the wacky Winchester House, and the U.S.S. North Carolina.
TAPS has always managed to impress me with their professionalism. Search any number of "ghost hunting" websites and you'll see that many of them are nothing more than a bunch of teen and college-aged kids hanging out in the graveyard or trespassing onto abandoned property. TAPS takes the paranormal very seriously. It almost takes an act of God to make them label a location as haunted. When they do, you can rest assured that they've done everything in their power to debunk a ghost's existence.
I highly recommend this DVD set, as well as Part 2 of Season 2 and the first season. You'll be impressed at how the TAPS team takes time to explain what an EMF detector is, what "orbs" are and probably aren't, and how something as simple as a mirror can play tricks on your mind.
Another great thing about this particular set is in the deleted scenes area where Brian is confronted by a woman and called a few derogatory terms. It's fun at the expense of Brian, but let's face it, Brian's just a funny guy.
"Dude, Run!!!"
 Great Show, Horrible sound and video quality. September 30, 2006
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
Many have already said it, but I'll say it again. This is one of the best shows on T.V. So why the crappy video and sound quality. The audio in particular is horrible. It reminds me of what it sounds like when you talk to close to a microphone. And the video is very choppy and the colors vary. Watching the show on the SciFi channel is ten times better than this DVD. I have never complained about DVD quality before, but this is so bad that it is actually a distraction. I don't want people to not buy the dvd, but you might be better off getting the itunes version.
Big Vision is remastering the Season 2 sets! July 19, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
10/14/07 UPDATE:
The remastered DVDs finally arrived, and they were worth the wait. The audio on the discs is still a little louder than average, but the distortion is gone. If you were waiting to pick these up until the audio problems had been fixed, you should be safe to pick up your copy now. The show has finally gotten the DVD release that it has deserved all along...
-------------------------
This was recently posted to Jason Hawes' Myspace site. Big Vision has heard our complaints, and is moving to rectify the situation...

So, you can wait about a week or do it now but to get your replacement copies:

They're Back!!! July 16, 2006
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
They're back to fight the evil. They will never decieve you. They're Back! A new take on an old favorite from Ghostbusters II. I just thought it would be fun. Anyway, it looks like our favorite poltergiest pulverising plumbers are finally releasing their second season! This is part one of two and each set is comprised of four disks. Infact $[...] aint a bad price for these sets. Season 1 was three disks and it cost the same price. These disks contain some of the best episodes so far. The folks at SciFi and Big Vision have answered our call so grab your EMF detector, sit back, and enjoy. (Update 12/30/07) First of all I made three mistakes in the above review, two of which have been removed and one fixed. I messed up on the lyrics to "We're Back" from Ghostbusters II so they are fixed now and I also wanted to correct myself on a couple of things. 1. This is not seasons 2 and 3 but is infact only season 2 and 2. The Halloween episode from season 2 is available on the Very Best Of Vol. 2 DVD. Just wanted to clear things up here. Also I have my replacement copy as well and mine is in excellent condition. Although I have to agree about the video and audio quality of the disks, it could be better, but at least it's better than it was the first time.
