The Haunted Hathaways (2013–2015)
6/10
Not Sure How to Rate: Stumped

Okay, I wasn't sure what to think about this show. I am a 36 year old who enjoys family television when I don't need to analyze much, and for the nostalgia effect.

To start off, the setting is just bad. It takes place in a house connected to a bakery in New Orleans. The settings colors and atmosphere gives me a boring 60s retro kind of vibe. The props and effects are grossly generic, even for it's time.

If you are looking for good acting, you might as well skip this one. It's the pits. The character's expressions don't line up with their emotions. Also, mostly all the characters, except the little girl and ghost dad, are highly annoying in some fashion. A lot of the acting is very tense and feels forced.

Okay, with all the negative traits out of the way, it does possess some weirdly good qualities. I don't know if it has the same effect on others, but it gives me a calming/soothing sensation. When I end the day and wind down I usually play this show on Netflix. I am not sure why, but it relaxes me. I usually watch it until I sleep. It is one of the best shows for those who appreciate background noise from a TV to help them sleep. Very strange. Maybe it's the setting? I'm not sure. It is a good quality; to me anyway.

If you're looking for that perfect show for you and your little ones, this probably isn't it. It isn't that bad, but it isn't good either. Mediocre.
