The scholarship and research is ... Simply Awful.  These folks don't know the difference between a cross and a crucifix (yes, there's a significant difference) and some of the finds appear to be planted (or re-staged.)  They keep showing the same bits of "evidence" so that the show is around 25 minutes of old material plastered on 5 minutes of new.

We gave up about 3 seasons ago.

I have to admit, that was a better description about the basic problem I have with the shows of this genre.

It's like the producers and directors all seem to be using 'marketing' techniques to both promote and "mold" the show... kind of doing a disservice to the subject matter, which is a legitimately interesting thing... even if the 'pushed' theories prove to be no good, the search, and what is found, has entertainment value in and of itself. 

I kind of object to this kind of work being done in an 'entertainment' venue, rather than as adopting a documentarians' approach to the subject.  Ostensibly the show is meant to inform... to me, pushing entertainment on top of it tends to tarnish the results.

But please remember, that's just me...
