This show is mildly entertaining, for the most part. But..., every episode just seems..., pointless. They do all these reports on paranormal stories while providing no evidence in the positive or negative. It's pretty much just 3rd party stories. The first one, where they had..., Lizardman and the Teen Exorcism Squad. As far as the Lizardturd story, they just chose the most inbred, stupid hillbillies and presented their say so as proof of the stupid things existence. The exorcism squad was just a trio of idiotic preppies who were all happy go lucky stupid giving first hand accounts of actual exorcisms. And when the reporter himself gets excised, the show lost all credibility and entertainment value in my eyes. Overall, I can't recommend this show to any person that has a brain that works or the slightest glimmer of common sense. But..., a couple of the chick reporters are pretty damn hot. So..., as long as you don't expect anything to appear halfway realistic or credible and just like hot chicks, this show could be a worthwhile way to waste time that would be used for some other pointless activity.

Warning: Spoilers
I was blessed to find my brother had dvr's this crap. I figured there was nothing better to do so i cracked open a beer and watched. Let me say, this is the stupidest crap to ever come across my screen.
Spoiler: These journalist meet in a room, they talk about their stories and then we get maybe a 5 minute video to back up each story, the thing is they only have eye witness testimonies and no factual evidence. One guy who seemed to be having no issues in life was apparently possessed.
There is trash TV and then there is this. It's on the travel channel which i didn't even know i had, but i say avoid unless you are a moron and are into this. It's basically a TV version of those tacky magazines about the Paranormal.
Don't get me wrong, i love Destination Truth, Ghost Hunters and even Monster Hunters, but this.... This was awful.
Edit: the other reviews are fake accounts all created to try and persuade you to watch. If they go s far as creating an IMDb account just to post a fake review these guys know their show sucks.

Awful, just....awful!

I watched this with a friend tonight and we spent 99% of the show eye-rolling with our mouths hanging open - shocked at the sheer pointlessness of this program. Seriously, I'm at a loss for how to express what a pile of garbage this is.
It's like E! News and Fact or Faked had a baby and someone dropped it on its head! It's just a motley crew of people sitting around an office discussing a bunch of paranormal events/activities that have been reported recently, like some sort of bar room anecdote. They interview people but do nothing to actually investigate the legitimacy of the claims. It is completely pointless and lacking any of the insight the aforementioned shows give.
On TV, the paranormal genre is saturated, with very few decent/seemingly legit shows out there and most of them are barely keeping afloat. Who was smoking the crack pipe when this got pitched? Whoever actually stumped up cash to make this show, needs a professional evaluation of their sanity. That being said, I don't know who's dumber, the people who created and funded this, or me for actually watching it! In a world where good shows are getting canceled or put on hiatus left right and center, for someone to put money into this is a crying shame. I guess I shouldn't have expected much, with this being directly tied to Ghost adventures but damn.....I'm truly astounded that this show ever made it to air.
Don't waste your time, unless you just want something to laugh at and complain about. It is easily the worst paranormal show on TV, ever! I only gave it one star because zero wasn't an option! Totally ridiculous, any further episodes would be best left on the cutting room floor!

Paranormal Paparazzi ROCKS!!!!!
lloree721 October 2012
I find it perplexing that anyone would watch a show with a name like "Paranormal Paparazzi" and expect anything other than lighthearted entertainment. I guess some folks just don't get that the show is not meant to be like all the other paranormal shows out there, it's simply meant to entertain, not prove or provide "evidence" of the paranormal. Come on folks! Lighten up and enjoy this wonderfully new way to experience the paranormal! This show is a PIONEER and should be hailed!!! It proves that the paranormal is so much a part of our media culture that it can now be presented in a fun, tongue-in-cheek, purely entertaining way! I LOVE IT!!! Thanks, Travel Channel!!
Fun Show
slimfan29 October 2014
Well, firstly I would like to suggest to reviewers Midnight_Rainbow and A_New_Hope that if Paranormal Paparazzi ever does a show with Trolls, you two should be featured. Secondly, Paranormal Paparazzi is an entertainment news show, NOT a paranormal investigative news show, so it's kind of ridiculous to criticize the program because you don't understand what it is. Afterall, it's called Paranormal PAPARAZZI, so the reporters speak to the people who video-ed the stuff or witnessed the event. It's not TMZ, which mocks the celebs, and it's not Fact Or Faked, which tries to debunk, it's just an entertainment show that spotlights interesting/strange people and events. So get over yourselves, Midnight_Rainbow and A_New_Hope. It's way too easy to anonymously trash things from the safety of your parents' basements.
Paranormal Paparazzi
Ykneeland1 October 2012
This is such a refreshing look at the Paranormal! They talk about subjects that are on peoples minds & leave it up to you to decide! The reporters are the most talented & experienced people in the field! Aaron Sagers is a bit of a skeptic which in itself is telling of the genuine reporting that's being done! The 'Celebrity Report' is terrific! If you watch 'Celebrity Ghost Story', you know how many have had Paranormal experiences! This show is fresh, engaging, entertaining and above all...Credible! It's high time we have a Paranormal news show on TV! Zak Bagans and Aaron Sagers are extremely talented & experienced! They have hit it out of the park with this amazing new program!
Love Paranormal Paparazzi!!!

I love love love Paranormal Paparazzi!!! Fun, quick moving, entertaining show!!! I love the cast members. It's nice to see some new comers as well as some paranormal heavy hitters that have been around for a while like Scott Gruenwald, Aaron Sagers and Joshua P. Warren. The new comers bring a lot to the table as well, Rachel Fine, Branden Wellington and Julie Alexandria, they all do a wonderful job on the show. I encourage people to watch this new show produced by Zak Bagans. I love the wide range of topics and how it's not your usual ghost hunting only show, it's a news show about all kinds of supernatural topics i.e. Mongollon monster, Mothman, etc. And it's quick moving so they don't spend too much time on one subjects which is nice.
Better Than Anticipated
stofferp16 October 2012
This show has the potential to be pretty good. I think the stories are a little short but that also keeps me interested. Never really seen a paranormal entertainment news show so this may be the first of it's kind.
Basically reporters go around the country picking up paranormal stories and interviewing people. Later they present their stories in the newsroom/office and the host along with the reporters give their take on it.
It's not an evidence driven show that will try to push you into believing in the paranormal. They more so just pick up a ton of bizarre stories, get eyewitness accounts, and allow viewers to make up their minds on what they think. I watch it with a few of my friends and it creates good conversation afterward.
I watch Ghost Adventures hosted by Zak Bagans. He also produced this show. It's a lot different than his own show and much faster. It's hard to say it's better because they are two different genres but so far it's different, refreshing, and pretty entertaining. Would love to see what stories they'd attract with a season 2 now that they're established.
