CANADIAN DEAD ZONE NEWS
The Dead Zone debuts on The New VI in Canada on Jan. 15 at 10 pm ET/PT.
This show is zoned for cool paranormal activities

When The Dead Zone premiered in the U.S. in June, it became the highest-rated dramatic series to debut on basic cable, drawing more than 6.4 million viewers. (That is like 100,000 people showing up to your garage sale.)
The show, which started its second season in the U.S. this month, has already built a loyal following.

Speaking of writing, sometimes it helps to hire a fact-checker. In an attempt to modernize the story, several references are made to the cultural highlights that transpired while Johnny was out of it — Mark McGwire's home run record, the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, invention of Caller ID, the emergence of Shania Twain and the O.J. Simpson case.

But here's the problem: Those last three items happened before 1996. Somewhere Nostradamus is rolling his eyes.

Airing Tonight: The Dead Zone (Chum stations, 9 p.m.) is a new spinoff from the old movie that was, in turn, based on a good Stephen King novel. A guy almost dies and when he recovers finds that he can suddenly enter a mental zone in which he can know a person's fate just by touching them. That's the core of the plot. The guy with the dark, magic touch here is played by Anthony Michael Hall. It's not badly done, made in Canada and brimming with adolescent gloom. The title might also refer to how you'll feel if you're getting addicted to The Bachelorette,which airs at 8 p.m. on CITY-TV stations.
