Best episode so far.
Sleepin_Dragon24 September 2023
Samantha and Jay receive a $10,000 offer from a production company who make a show called 'Dumb Deaths,' they want to tell Flower's story, her encounter with a grizzly bear, when that doesn't go well, they look to Pete.

Best episode from series two so far, this was classic Ghosts, and a reminder of how wonderful this show can be. Funny, moving and wonderfully entertaining.

Several great moments, the historical fallout, the arrow in the butt, and of course seeing exactly what happened to Flower.

How brilliant was it getting to see Mathew Baynton in an episode, it must have been a strange experience for him featuring appearing in an American episode, and not in character.

A nice bit of banter and about American and British relations, there was always going to be a bit of a fallout between two natural enemies. ....from a British point of view, we love our friends over in The US.

Brilliant episode.

9/10.

Ghosts has been up and down in quality for most of its run, but last week's episode was good and this one was pretty good too.

Matthew Baynton's Thomas on the UK version of Ghosts may have gotten a little bit tired, but he was refreshing in this role as an over the top actor despite the small parts he was getting.

We also got another positive emotional moment, just like in last week, when we saw one of Pete's students know exactly how to handle a serious situation with an arrow, which validated a lot of his work.

CBS has canceled a lot of good sitcoms over the years, but I hope this one stays for a bit.

I never thought I'd say this, but DAMN MY EYES! Thank you from all the fans of BBC Ghosts, seeing Thomas/Mathew Baynron in American version was a pure joy! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the beloved cast! It was a class act!

I got used to American version and watch it as a separate story, I don't even try to compare two series because my heart belongs to British cast. But still. It was a great heartwarming episode with a nice homage to an original story.

I don't know the details of production, so I am wondering whether The six idiots participate in writing for NBC Ghost. Anyways, thank you for the idea of this unexpected crossover.

So great to see the British actor who plays Thomas in the English version of Ghosts reappear here from across the pond playing Pete in a tv documentary taking place at the house. And he didn't miss a single beat. He is soooo talented. And the writers gave him plenty to work with. I would really love to see the other English actors play cameos in future episodes, that would be so much fun.

Just as an aside, if Flower had been mauled to death by a bear she'd have way more gore on her body other than one measly scratch on her face - just sayin'.

I truly look forward to this show every week. Keep 'em coming!
