Talk:Paranormal television

restored article
Ok, so we have restored my article; I had deleted it because I thought it might be better as a category, but now it serves as both. I hope someone will see fit to expand it: I shall try and expand to discuss the ethics and legal implications specific to different nations and cultures and media theory etc etc as seems relevant to an emclyclopaedia entry...

Description: OPENLY fictional as opposed to what? Covertly fictional? You may as well just call them liars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.77.232 (talk) 06:43, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

1st paranormal documentary show
The first paranormal documentary show wasn't "Sightings". "In Search of..." with Leonard Nemoy predated "Sightings" by almost twenty years. Not to say that's the first, but it was aired in the 70's.

Clean Up
The list of shows' air dates needs cleaned up, For example the show entitled Encounters: The Hidden Truth started 1994 not 1991, and lasted to 1996. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.143.45.220 (talk) 18:09, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

I removed "The X-Files" and CW's "Supernatural", as they don't seem to fit the category of actual paranormal investigation or even docudrama. Neither show is purported to be factual. Bookbrad (talk) 16:00, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

It seems Supernatural was readded, and I have the same complaint, that scripted fiction shows should not be on a list of paranormal investigation or docudrama shows. Others I see in the list that are scripted fiction: "Kolchak: The Night Stalker", "One Step Beyond", "Medium", and "Ghostwatch". Floracalifornia (talk) 06:28, 26 January 2011 (UTC)Floracalifornia

En dashes
All the hyphens (-) used for the air-date ranges must be replaced with un-spaced en dashes (–) per WP:ENDASH, such as in 2005–07. serioushat 19:45, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

"notable"
Are all the shows under "Examples of notable programs" really notable? Shows that don't even have a wikipedia article and shows where no airdate or channel is mentioned imho don't seem to be notable. Shouldn't it be transformed into a "List of paranormal televesion series"? Further series: Paranormal Borderline (faked; mentioned in Jonathan Frakes), Miracles and Other Wonders (mentioned in Robert Tralins) and Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction (partly fiction, partly not). -91.63.255.42 (talk) 00:46, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I agree it should be changed into "List of paranormal television series", and once this change is made y'all should add "The Other Side" which is a paranormal investigation show on the APTN network in Canada — Preceding unsigned comment added by B23Rich (talk • contribs) 01:09, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Galileo Mystery
Does de:Galileo Mystery count as "paranormal television series"? -IP, 17:52, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I added it to the program table. AspenSavannah (talk) 22:40, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Paranormal TV show list
Sharon A. Hill kept a list of paranormal TV shows. Many are not listed on the WP page. Also, she included a category (ghosts, cryptozoology) for the shows. I think this would enhance the page. AspenSavannah (talk) 21:27, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Should pseudo-documentary be a category or eliminated from the list? Examples Mermaids: The New Evidence and Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives AspenSavannah (talk) 18:47, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * In October of 2021 or 2022 the Travel Channel did a limited series in October called "Conjuring Ke$sha" where Ke$ha and other performers or celebrities visited haunted places

Reformatted
I reformatted the table of series.
