So Weird is like a PG-version of "The X-Files". It explores paranormal phenomena but in a way that is still suitable for younger kids.

The first and second seasons were good and entertaining. They featured Cara DeLizia as Fi, a teenage girl curious about paranormal phenomena. She portrays her character well, including Fi's unfulfilled longing for her father who died when she was very young. Patrick Levis played Jack, Fi's brother, well; and the sibling rivalry between Jack and Fi is humorous and easy to relate to. Mackenzie Phillips portrays "Molly Phillips", a concerned mom and singer, very well (and has a very good voice as well). Erik von Detton, an experienced actor, portrays his character, a member of Molly's bad who gets reluctantly dragged into Fi's adventures, very well also. You can sense true chemistry between the cast members as you watch these episodes.

Then, for some reason ... Fi is replaced as the main character by Annie Thelen. Instead of Cara DeLizia as Fi, we see Alexz Johnson as Annie. The explanation is that Fi moved away to live life as a normal girl, while Annie, as an aspiring singer, has decided to join Molly on the tour. Coincidentally, Annie just happens to be interested in paranormal phenomena... just like Fi ... hmmmmm. The only difference is that Annie can sing.

So while Alexz Johnson is a talented singer and actress, the third season (unlike the first and second seasons) is just plain silly with ridiculous story lines and one-dimensional characters. Annie's fascination with an invisible panther that she believes protects her does not have nearly the depth of Fi's unfulfilled longing for her deceased father. Annie's ability to sing does not make up for Fi's intellectual curiosity. In addition, the sibling rivalry between Jack and Fi is absent.

While references to Fi are made several times in the third season and we see Molly hug Fi (probably not Cara DeLizia) from a distance in the Thanksgiving episode, this show's third season just isn't as good as the first or second seasons.

That is why I call So Weird "a tale of two shows."

So Weird is the coolest t.V. series on Disney. I find it very interesting on cool. Really, it is not a kids version of the X-files. The main character is Fiona and in the later seasons, Annie, Who are very into the paranormal and love solving the mysteries about the strange things that happen. I recommend it to anybody. ********** (10 stars!)

this show is suprisingly good. i was skeptical,for i am a big x-files

fan and i heard it was like the x-files for the younger crowd, so i

decided to give it a chance. i was very impressed. Fi is a strong

charachter (whom i would like to see return soon) who is very determined

to find anything and everything paranormal. Her brother Jack is the

skeptic,and teases her any chance he gets,but you can still tell that he

cares for his baby sister. Clu is the lovable doofus that they always

have on every show. he is a free spirit type, and he is funny. he adds a

lot of atmosphere to the show. Molly is the typical loving mom/pop star

who writes cool songs with bizzare lyrics and haunting melodies. the new

girl Annie is smart and recourceful like Fi, but she lacks a lot of the

drive that Fi has. the mysteries seem to come to her instead of her

finding them. ill admit there were a few really corny episodes in this

series, but for the most part this show is imaginative and smart! it is

a good show for people of all ages.

This show is so cool. I love it. I mean I can't believe that MacKenzie

Phillips from One Day At a Time took this role. This show's title suits

it perfectly. I mean this show shouldn't be on Disney, no offense, I

just think it should be on like the Sci-Fi channel or something. Some

serious stuff happens. It's about a unique fifteen-year-old girl

(newcomer Cara DeLizia) who lives on a tour bus with her sarcastic

older brother (Brink's Patrick Levis) and her musician widowed mother

(One Day At A Time's Mackenzie Phillips) this girl is into aliens,

vampires, ghost and the works of the paranormal, and she always

searches for the weird things that happen where she goes.

So Weird is one of Disney's best made shows ever! I just don't know why it's taking them so long to bring it out on DVD. It's been almost a year since they renewed the rights for it. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I have been watching Disney try and duplicate what they did with So Weird but have never got close. The show had a perfect blend of weird stuff, action, awesome plot, and music that all mixed to create a lot of times a very emotionally powerful punch. My favorite episode is where Fiona is in Ireland. That episode is a perfect example of how emotionally powerful this series can get. Cara Delizia the actor who plays Fiona is brilliant. They could not have found a better actor to play Fiona. She had such subtle such as when there was something really emotional her bottom lip quivered ever so slightly. You can't fake or teach that kind of subtlety. Awesome show. Needs to be on DVD!!!!
