Psychic Kids Is The Most Hilarious Show On TV Right Now
I saw Psychic Kids: Children Of The Paranormal last night by accident and it's awesome! The setup is basically your average 12-year-old's slumber party -- running around with flashlights, spooking each other out, creating moments of Dr. Pepper-fueled adrenaline hysteria, but instead of regular kids, it's kids who were recruited through Craig's List ads as "psychic" -- one imagines the headline "Is Your Child A Drama Queen Who Has Had A Nightmare Before?" And instead of ending with weary parents instituting a forced calm by declaring lights out "for real you guys" at midnight, there are adult "demonologists" who indulge each child's "special psychic gifts." Also, nothing ever happens by way of evidence that these demons and ghosts exist, except the kids claim to have headaches, see shadows, smell smells or feel cold air. The producers of the show make up for this deficit with creepy music and high-tech special effects like quick cutaways, flashes of colored light, and negative images. I am so hooked!
On last night's episode, the amazing psychic-kid-enabling host Chip Coffey, of A&E's other dumb psychic show Paranormal States, along with a local "demonologist" who should narrate every anti-smoking commercial, help 14-year-old Alexa exorcise the demon in her former house. The really supernatural part of this show is how everyone manages to keep a straight face:
I love when the demonologists walk around Febreezing the demons out of the house at the end. I'm never missing this show again.

what alexa really was thinking:
i want to go in when my moms not with me because it is a lot harder to fabricate stories in my head when the woman that birthed me is near
my head is feeling all foggy because i am breaking under the pressure of all these adults relying on my fake physic abilites
i feel like this big burden of acting can finally be over now that i have exorcised these demons - hopefully the adults in my life will let it go so i can finally give up this shicht
it feels much better in this house after getting compensated for pretending i see and feel dead people

So demons can be defeated by asking them to be defeated. I can't wait to go to Hell, because if Ghandi is there then Satan has probably already caved to his hunger strike.
Score = -1
everytime I saw demonologist in this post, i kept reading dermatologist, and for a second i thought these ghosts had skin problems or something.
also, these ghosts are pretty wussy. Alexa didn't even have to raise her voice and they left. I doubt she needed a camera crew and a bunch of demonologist (dermatologist) to solve her from her ghost (acne) problem.
Score = 2
Alexa reminds me of Abigail from The Crucible. Except she's not trying to get anybody hanged; she just wants attention.
