Are you a Skeptic? Or someone who thinks science trumps the supernatural? Well, we have a show for you -The Skeptologists, which just finished shooting its first pilot

Hosted by Brian Dunning, the Skeptologists will be a skeptic-reality show which will include Skeptics Guide to the Universe host Dr. Steven Novella, Michael Shermer, Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer) and Mark Edward.

Oh yeah, Yau-Man Chan, one of Survivors’ most popular players, is also a regular on the show. You can listen to an interview with Yau-Man on Skeptics Guide by clicking here.

“There was this general optimistic feeling that this would happen. It still could not get picked up, but if any hardcore skeptical show can make it on the air, it will be this one,” said Novella.

The hour-long pilot will include looks at the Wheat grass craze, as well as looking at the instruments that ghost hunters use.

The Web site for Skeptologists is here. They also have a page on Facebook here.

Want to see The Skeptologists? Send an e-mail to skeptologists(at)newrule(dot)com and tell them you can’t wait to see some serious skepticism. They’ll be taking the e-mails to producers to show that this is a program that people want. Plus, you’ll be doing Plait a favor, as he’s already done 275 different pilots and hasn’t seen one get picked up. The Skeptologists may be the one. I’ll definitely be sending an e-mail.
