I had never heard of this show until seeing the previews for it while watching Ghost Hunters last night.

Apparently there are four 1 hour shows tonight starting at 7 est.

I couldnt find much about it on the SciFi website other then the synopsis of the episodes, but did find a pretty detailed article

Some interesting parts ....

The 63-year-old minister, sipping a can of Red Bull energy drink, said he has performed well more than 6,000 exorcisms in 90 nations, and reports having been kicked, choked, and spat upon by people whose demons resisted the prayers of deliverance.

He has written more than 30 books and for 20 years hosted a nationally broadcast radio program, Talk Back with Bob Larson.

Mr. Larson's flair for the dramatic, his boldness, and his independence have spawned a legion of critics. Some say he may be genuine but his style is "over the top," while some skeptics claim he's made a lucrative career out of preying on vulnerable people and superstitions.

The Rev. George Barrett, pastor of Foundation Stone Church in Northwood, said he has "no doubt" that demon possession and deliverance are real, but he questions Mr. Larson's accountability.


I'll probably check out the 7 o'clock one then switch over to Survivor at 8 unless these are really good.

Bob Larson is one of the biggest charlatan's around, it's no surprise he'd start a TV Show like this.

Anything with exorcism gives me immediate doubt. Mostly because God and the Devil don't exist.

Ghost hunters is a different story, but this possessed by the devil nonsense is just ridiculous.
