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.

This show has the drama (like the death of Rick-Fi's father) and the individual sibling disputes (between Jack and Fi), the problems a star (Molly) goes through, and the mystery (obviously from the adventures that Fiona drags Jack and Clu into in each episode.) The show also has talented actors (not to mention EXPERIENCED) like Erik von Detten who has acted several times previous to "So Weird" and Patrick Levis who did an excellent job in the episode where he has to face his fears of losing his sis and mother after losing his father and when he was taken over by the spirit of Spunkie. And Mackenzie Philips who plays Molly Phillips.

On top of that, it's has INTEREST...it will be TOO bad that Erik von Detten (Clu) will be leaving the show to go work on another but in the series he's going to college...but I personally think that Casey (Clu's brother) will be taking over when Clu leaves.

That's ALL!! ENJOY!!

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!)

I really like "So Weird." The scripts are good and the actors have nice talent. You really can get caught in with it, and any fans the old "Eerie Indiana" show, would like it as much as I do.

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."
