I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I turned into The Lowe Files. I would not say I'm a big Rob Lowe fan and the idea of a reality show focused on him was not really a big draw. I'm also not a huge paranormal show fan. Ghosthunters and all that... big ole meh from me. Still, I tuned in and I'm so glad I did. The true joy of the show is watching Rob and his family. I don't like reality shows. I really don't but I would, without question, watch a reality show centering on this family just doing normal family things although the scary stuff is a fun addition. I'm truly hoping for another season. An unexpected, addictive delight.

So Rob Lowe and his kids take on the paranormal , bizarre and cryptids. They are approaching it in a fun manner and clearly given the nature of how they are handling it, everything they do is sincere. I can't speak for the guest "experts", but Rob is trying to keep it as real as possible. The only weakness I see is they use the one day approach, which gives you the odds of being bit by a shark in your swimming pool of finding something that is so elusive it's questionably real at all.

This series is surprisingly easy to watch with Rob Lowe as the likable dad traipsing around California tracking ghosts and paranormal activities with his two skeptical, college age sons. I usually avoid programs purporting to uncover the spirits of dead people using strange and often ridiculous gadgets, flashing lights and squeaky noises. But, this show offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the supernatural with a bonus opportunity for viewers to see historical sites throughout the state. Watching Rob Lowe interact with his sons reveals a happy family enjoying time spent together offering a unique opportunity for viewers to see seemingly well-adjusted Hollywood kids, normal and healthy.

This is truly a great show, so far. I love the family dynamic, Rob Lowe seems to be a really great father. He obviously hasn't forced his opinions or beliefs onto his sons. I love watching skeptics question their skepticism. My son is the same way, a scientist by nature. He also wouldn't believe anything without personal or scientific proof.Fun, family show. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!!!
