It also ran recently on A&E. I wrote them an email to complain about the program but they never replied. I cannot find any information about who actually produced the show.
For those who did not see it: The hour-long program was not just about children with psychic powers. It was entirely uncritical about them. It never gave another view but stated every nutso thing as though it were fact. One of the last things I saw was the narator stating something to the effect of, "It's no surprise M. is psychic, her mother is psychic as well. Experts say it runs in families."
They also showed the child taking some sort of shape-guessing test. They actually showed her getting an answer wrong but the researcher turned the next card and that one matched her previous guess. It looked like the researcher recorded it as a hit. Even so, all the narator says is that the child scored "above chance." Of course, half of all test-takers will score above chance but whatever.
Oh, it made me so angry my wife had to turn the TV off.

One guy said that his wife didn't tell him she was a medium until after they were married, a special bonus for him. Wow. Can you say annulment?Yep. On grounds of fraud and mental incompetence.
Plus, they have psychic children. Their teenage boy works as a trainers assistant for his high school athletes apparently very talented because he can read the auras around injured limbs.

Well, I take your point but not telling someone your a medium isn't fraud in the inducement of marriage.
Sorry, I'm a lawyer. I know, I don't like me either.
