What do you make of them, are they worth bothering with at all? Of course, they may not have much to say to the veteran paranormal interestee, but at least you may get to see what the actual people and places involved are like. There have been a couple of different ones about Roswell over recent months, for example, which were worth it because they actually included recent footage filmed in the area.
I think there is a real reason why we should pay attention to them, particularly the ones that turn up on prime time terrestrial TV. Surely they have an enormous influence on public perception and the subsequent reports they make. Perhaps it should be considered what things the public are and, indeed, are not being told by these things.
The major recent ones, I guess, would be the Timewatch episode about Britain's X-Files on Friday 9th Jan. on BBC2 and the one on the same channel about JFK's assassination with the computer simulations.
Are there any particular series that you think are good? 'Beyond The Truth' with/by Bruce Burgess, whose episodes occasionally turn up on ITV seems to be one. The Discovery Channel series Critical Eye is another, I would say. It is hosted by William B. Davis (The X-Files-smoking man) and was produced in cooperation with CSICOP and the Skeptical Inquirer magazine.
