I find that you have to take the reviews on itunes with a grain of salt. Especially the attacks. I notice that many of the "debunking" groups go out in force after a paranomal show if it's high profile. I see the other extream also of "dough eyed believers" attacking a skeptical posistion. Also, the process of rating and review is so easy that if somebody gets pissed off at you (such as the guy or guys who came on here from a rival show and started some mess in the recent past) they can trash you show. Although I do read the reviews I also try to see who is reviewing and if they have an agenda. Sometime you can't tell. Matter of fact most of the time you can't tell. But, sombody who gets on a paranormal show thread and the first thing they say is "This isn't science it is a fairy tale." Well, that review isn't worth the cyber paper it's written on. Just as if somebody gets on a skeptic thread and says "Their just a bunch of debunkers." I wish there was a better way on itunes because good honest shows can be trashed at the click of a mouse. Bad shows can get a few followers to give em 4 or 5 stars. Oh well, ya just gotta keep on keepin on I guess.

[QUOTE="tyder001, post: 99168, member: 853"] I find that you have to take the reviews on itunes with a grain of salt. Especially the attacks. I notice that many of the "debunking" groups go out in force after a paranomal show if it's high profile. I see the other extream also of "dough eyed believers" attacking a skeptical posistion. Also, the process of rating and review is so easy that if somebody gets pissed off at you (such as the guy or guys who came on here from a rival show and started some mess in the recent past) they can trash you show. Although I do read the reviews I also try to see who is reviewing and if they have an agenda. Sometime you can't tell. Matter of fact most of the time you can't tell. But, sombody who gets on a paranormal show thread and the first thing they say is "This isn't science it is a fairy tale." Well, that review isn't worth the cyber paper it's written on. Just as if somebody gets on a skeptic thread and says "Their just a bunch of debunkers." I wish there was a better way on itunes because good honest shows can be trashed at the click of a mouse.
