As a Ghost Hunters fan I loved the First Season Dvd. This "Best of Ghost Hunters" Dvd was just recycling previous (inconclusive for the most part!) shows - certainly not anything new or exciting at all. The previously deleted footage should have stayed that way! Don't waste your money on this Dvd. Buy the First Season and look for the Penitentiary and the Lighthouse episodes.

Foremost, the episodes that they picked weren't all good (certainly not the "The Very Best..").
Second, the general editing was poorly done. Third, the extra footage featuring parts of interviews previously cut out, should have never been put back in. The footage was boring and a waste of time. All, I can say is this tape is dissapointing. Don't bother to buy it.

This DVD is nothing more than a recycling of 3 previous episodes of the show. For a "best of" volume, I expected much shorter segments from many more episodes that actually did contain what the DVD case advertises, namely "the best of" and the "scariest moments." In my opinion, this volume fails to deliver what it promises. I am definitely a fan of the series, and I know there are much better moments it has to offer. About the only thing you can really expect to enjoy on this DVD are some fairly decent examples of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon). Even though the DVD is fairly inexpensive, I don't think it's worth the cost.

I also found this "Best of" collection to fall very short of the "BEST"! There are clearly MANY other episodes they could have, and SHOULD HAVE used and included to make this truly a "Best of" feature. The few cases they did showcase were by far NOT the scariest! A definite disappointment,...though still a fan!!

I love Ghost Hunters, so no episode is a bad episode to me, but I think the title of this DVD is a little off track. During Season one there were other shows which were far more interesting than the few that are included here. The DVD is also poorly edited, lending to large gaps of nothing inserted where the commercials would have been. If you really want the best of Ghost Hunters I suggest you invest in the complete first season. Jason and Grant ROCK! Unfortunately, this DVD does not.

This dvd purports to be the "very best of" this series, but it is anything but. First off, the first fifteen minutes or so has little to do with in the way ghost hunting, rather "introduces" the various persons involved with TAPS and is in fact quite boring. I couldn't care less that these guys are plumbers and have wives that are pissed off with their preoccupation with the paranormal. When we finally get around to the various investigations they turn out to be quite mundane and at times frustrating to watch because of the apparent amateurishness of the investigators. If these guys have been doing this for as long as they claim, it certainly doesn't seem like it. And in the end, despite the claim in the blurb on the gack of the dvd case that watching these episodes would convince one that ghosts really do exist, they certainly don't. Sadly, the two episodes that seemed somewhat promising are not included in the dvd, although they are mentioned briefly in the "in the next episode" segment of two of the episodes. What's more, in the five minute bonus feature in which two of the investigators discuss their favorite episodes, both the lighthouse and penitentiary investigations are agree upon as being favorites, while--if I remember correctly--only two of the fore included in this video are mentioned, and not with much enthusiasm. I just can't recommend this dvd.

This review isn't a commentary on the show itself. I love the show, but this "very best" is a complete rip off. My husband and I are really into the show and were looking forward to seeing a complilation of the "very best" of Ghost Hunters. Instead what we got was the exact same disc as the first disc of season 1. I rented the two of them at the same time, and they are exactly the same thing. I had to keep checking to make sure I didn't put the wrong disc in. Very disappointing.

Ghost hunters: the very best of... well I have to say that I bought this DVD out of curiosity and I have to say that it was great! Now I am thinking of buying the first season, I would recommend this if you are like me, that means, if you know nothing about the tv show and its your first incursion with the series, this way you can see if you like it or not, otherwise I recommend you go directly for the seasons.

On the other hand I have to say it is a very good show (a real one), but I am not so sure about "the very best of"... because in some of the teasers about "the next program" I could tell that they looked more interesting than some of the shows included in this DVD, so that's why I am not sure if the title of the DVD makes justice to all its content... I wanted to see the episode (included in one teaser) of the theater; that one you could tell was a scary one, but sadly it wasn't included in this DVD although it was advertised in a previous show.

hi there my fellow ghosthunter's fans, I have to say that Ghosthunter's Rock. I thought the packaging and the DVD itself was excellent! although, there were a minor 15 to 20 mintue gap inbetween one of the investgations or hearing the announcer saying on the next time on ghosthunters, I cant complained i love it inspite of that,

This is one of the best series from Scifi since day one of scifi channel.. This series is a keeper and love the episodes. A couple are dissappointing episodes but all and all great! A+++ All around! And 10 times better then Most Haunted!
