After tuning in to Adult Swim a bit earlier to watch my nightly cartoons when I stumbled across something quite silly, The Othersiders. Now to me, call me skeptical if you like, all ghost hunting shows are, in a word, retarded. Grainy cameras, complete darkness, I'm guessing cutting and pasting 8 hours worth of boredom in a rusty old ship, decrepit house, etc. to make a 30 minute show 6 of which are commercials.
Now I know the show has not yet been released but come on, teenagers investigating ghosts? I feel like we are a VW van, a talking dog, some rubber masks and a lot of pot references away from Scooby Doo. The group make up is the same even: a head guy and girl (Fred and Daphene), an asian researcher (Velma), and two dweeby looking guys (Shaggy and Scooby.) If they were old enough to shave I think the producers would make one of them grow a little facial hair to complete the ensamble. So lets all hope that at the end of every show they get to unmask the ghost that would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for their meddling.
