I will e-mail them.
I will ask them to include a skeptical viewpoint on all subjects. Not just a couple words from a token skeptic, but equal time. Since every one of these subjects has been either debunked or have more worldly explanations than the ones they are bound to be promoting, I will tell them that I will not watch the series if their plan is to not have a balanced presentation. I will also suggest that including the skeptical view will make for a much more entertaining and thought provoking show.
This from CSICOP.

Here is a chance for you to help the folks at the Sci-Fi Channel (you know
the ones who bring you John Edward talking to the dead). They have a new
show on the paranormal and are asking for help. I wrote them and told them
that CSICOP would be pleased to be of service. Perhaps you'd like to write
to them (outthere@www.scifi.com) and ask that they be sure to include
skeptics as well.

I was just going over the letter again, and I was wondering, who or what in the heck are the Raelians? I'd heard of everything else, in most cases having either read about them or watched a show on them, but I'd only heard of the Raelians just briefly.

The Raelians: We [humankind] are descended from aliens [the Raelians]. We should clone ourselves because this is what the Raelians want us to do to be like them.
Very bizarre cult thing here.

I find it somewhat scary that people actually believe this stuff. Guess the real world isn't exciting enough.

AN INTERVIEW SHOW ABOUT THE PARANORMAL!
Just one question: how can a program simultaneously be a "reality series" and deal with the paranormal? Seems to me that dwelling on the paranormal means that 'reality' is going to be left behind.

Thanks, Lisa. I'll look later when I want a good bedtime story.

How much you wanna bet that John Edwards' show has gotten great ratings even though it's been tossed around more times than Star Trek: TOS was on NBC and SCI-FI Channel wants something close to being a reality show?

I'm a pretty big Trekkie. But what is Star Trek: TOS?

Star Trek: the original series
You know, the one with Kirk, Spock and McCoy.

That's not the only scary thing about them. They also have money.

You have to admire people like him, though. Their minds are so quick (and with a stright face too). It's like a criminal, who puts so much effort into doing something bad when he could easily use the same brain power to get further ahead legaly.

OK, thanks James. Usually, most I know just call it Star Trek.

Well, it's called that now because we have The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager; all with Star Trek in the titles. Helps to tell them apart.

Let me explain. You have Star Trek, then Next Gen, then DS9, then Voyager. Now we have Enterprise. So, Star Trek retains full rights to being just Star Trek. It's a minor thing, but...it's Star Trek.
