Hexed listeners will know that we are big fans of the show Teen Wolf. Suzie and I had a blast podcasting all the way through Season 1 and Season 2 of the show in summers pasts. This summer was a very challenging time, and we missed chatting about many of our shows including Teen Wolf. Suzie did get to watch it, but I only saw the first 2 episodes! Can you believe it? I have a hard time believing it myself!
In an effort to get up to date for the shows return, I've decided to share my Season 3 experience and vlog my way through all 12 episodes from now until January 6, 2014. Teen Wolf is always full of mystery, and a lot of the fun is trying to figure out who did what, or even at times who *is* what, and it's way more fun to do that over time and share instead of a power-through-marathon. Feel free to play along, if you are catch up like me or even if you are already up to date, either way it can be a lot of fun.
Teen Wolf Season 3 (Part 2) begins January 6, 2014. We are still awaiting announcement for what channel it will be on here in Canada, seasons past have aired on Much Music but that now redirects to MTV.ca so it might air there. Or who knows, the recent influx of shows Reign, Ravenswood, Supernatural, Arrow and True Blood on M3 feel like that would be a good home for it too. I'll be sure to update you when the information of what channel it's on is confirmed.
As the summer begins to start it's wrap up, so does one of our favourite summer shows. It was an easy decision to pick out the week's Paranormal Pick of the Week:
Teen Wolf - Season 3 Summer Finale
Monday August 19, 2013 at 10pm ET on Much Music
Although this is a finale, it's only a for-now finale as Season 3 is being shown in two parts. We got to enjoy Part 1 throughout the summer and then Part 2 on Teen Wolf Season 3 will begin in the new year started January 6, 2014. I've sadly fallen way behind of the show, but now I know I will have until the new year to catch up. I bet they will throw us one zinger of a mid-season finale!
We are back, for realz this time. Thank you so much for your patience in our absense and understanding of our absence, those who want to know more about our Mom see here.
In our return episode we chat about Summer Paranormal TV, some in depth and spoilery (Almighty Johnsons!) and some very briefly (Being Human UK), but we do touch at least on each of our shows that aired this summer. It's a combination of spoiler-free chats and spoiler filled chats (Defiance, The Almighty Johnsons, Under the Doom, Paranormal Witness and Zero Hour), but we do note if we are going to go spoiler on you.
We hope to be back next week with a discussion on where our fall/winter regulars like Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Grimm and the like ended and what (if any) predictions we have for the upcoming seasons.
It's time to take a look at the poll results for Which Summer Shows Will *You* Be Watching. The clear winner this year is Teen Wolf which comes in at a whopping 58%! I know it's a show I look forward to each and every summer, and this summer is no exception although I am a few episodes behind it will be fun to catch up.
Coming in at second place is a 2-way tie of Being Human (UK) and Paranormal Witness with a solid 33% each, and rounding out the votes with 12% each is True Blue, Under the Dome and Other. This poll when up before we knew The Almighty Johnsons was coming back, and I wonder if that makes up for in part of what the 12% 'Other' selections.
58% - Teen Wolf
33% - Being Human (UK)
33% - Paranormal Witness
16% - True Blood
16% - Under the Dome
16% - Other
I thought it was going to be a quiet week (and possible quiet summer), but the tide has changed and we have not one...not two...but THREE series premiering this week. Not only that, all three of them are big favourites of Suzie and mine: Teen Wolf, Being Human (UK) and Paranormal Witness. There is no way to call out one over the others, so all three are making their marks as the Paranormal Pick(s) of the Week:
Teen Wolf ~ Season 3 Premiere
Monday June 3, 2013 at 10pm ET on Much Music
Summer means Teen Wolf to me. Every since the show started in 2011, I've loved it. The crazy mysteries, the beautiful awkwardness, the awesome cast and of course... the werewolves. So much happens in each episode and I rarely have any idea what will be coming next. I can't wait to see out where they take it this season!
L-R Michael Socha as Tom, Kate Bracken as Alex, and Damien Molony as Hal
Being Human (UK) ~ Season 5 Premiere
Saturday June 8, 2013 at 9pm * ET on Space
This is not only the fifth season of Being Human (UK), but it's also the final season of Being Human (UK). Although I will be sad to see the show go, I am very happy that will get to see how this supernatural roommate drama sums up the series. It's been an emotional roller coaster through the years and I can't imagine it being any different as it comes to a close.
*remember Being Human (UK) is an extra-long show clocking in at 1h 15 min*
Paranormal Witness ~ Season 3 Premiere
Wednesday June 5, 2013 at 10pm ET on Space
This show is one of the scariest out there, and it's non-fiction to boot. I was a latecomer to loving it, only falling hard mid-season 2 but I'm happy I came back to it because the amazing storytelling that completely honours the truth of the experiences is extremely impressive. I'm looking forward to Paranormal Witness in it's third (and expanded) season, but I might have to watch it during the day with the lights on.
Deep South Paranormal's Hart Fortenbery and Keith Ramsey
Also Awesome
Deep South Paranormal Finale Tuesday June 4, 2013 at 9 on Space; I found this non-fiction paranormal investigation show absolutely charming. I loved the combination of old world folklore plus technology with a lot of heart and compassion throughout. I really hope it gets renewed.
Revolution Season 1 Finale Monday June 3, 2013 10pm on CityTV; while we didn't talk about Revolution that much this year it was certainly one of the impressive successes of the new crop of 2012-13 shows and was confirmed to be renewed for a season 2. I wonder if they found out what turned off all the power.
Merlin in Syndication Monday - Friday 3pm (and 9am) on Space as of Monday June 3 2013; with the 5 seasons having come to a close it's a very smart choice to start airing this one daily! I found Merlin to be a highly enjoyable fantasy series, and would easily recommend it for anyone who hasn't tried it out yet.
Sinbad and Primeval: New World Season 1 rebroadcastings on Space; 2 great series to enjoy this summer starting from their very first episodes on Saturday June 8, 2013 at 7pm and 8pm respectively. This also concurrent pairs to the US airings of the shows premieres on the US SyFy channel.
It's getting hot out there and it looks like it will on the screen too! With June just around the corner it's time to look at the sizzling and scary shows hitting out small screens this summer. We also have a bit of a bittersweet turn this summer with several of our cancelled shows have being 'burned off' with there remaining unaired episodes coming to us this month including both Cult and 666 Park Avenue.
But let's look at the sweet before the sour; summer means the return of fan favourites from Teen Wolf to True Blood as well as series premieres like Under the Dome. If non-fiction is your thing, we have a new season of Paranormal Witness as well as the new competition/game show Exit. It's a little bit of everything this June!
Teen Wolf ~ Season 3 Premiere
Monday June 3, 2013 at 10pm on MuchMusic
Genre: Paranormal/Werewolves
Summer means Teen Wolf to me. It only started 2 years ago back in 2011, but I loved it then and looked forward to Season 2 immensely in 2012. The show it mysterious, crazy, funny and even manages some sweet romance in along with the awkward coming-of-age and coming-of-werewolf-ness. The show is so zany and mysterious, I found it hard to get details on the season without getting spoilers and I don't want to accidentally find out anything on this one. If you want to go into potential spoiler-land, you can check out this description of Teen Wolf Season 3.
Teen Wolf is an American show that's a werewolf-centric supernatural drama based on the 1985 film of the same name. The cast of season 3 includes series regulars Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O'Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden plus a few new faces. Season 3 will be 24 episodes (up from season 1 and 2 orders of 12-episodes), however I suspect we will get 12 episodes in Summer 2013 and the rest at a later time (mostly speculation derived from the back that in iTunes you can buy a seasons pass for "Part I" of Season 3 for the same amount as previous seasons). Either way, I'm happy we will be seen LOTS of Teen Wolf!
Paranormal Witness ~ Season 3 Premiere
Wednesday June 5, 2013 at 10pm ET on Space
Genre: Non-Fiction Paranormal
I was a late-comer to loving Paranormal Witness. When it first debuted it felt a little shlocky to me and a little to in the vein of Unsolved Mysteries. BUT, in Season 2 that all changed it and it became one of my favourite shows to watch every week with the spooky story, chilling reenactment and the bravery of the witnesses to shared their first hand accounts of the paranormal. The show is also very respectful of the experiences, which also really won me over and now I'm really looking forward to more.
Here is what we can look forward to in Season 3 of Paranormal Witness: "Mixing first-hand testimony with dramatic re-enactments, PARANORMAL WITNESS recreates uncanny experiences that defy explanation. In the season premiere, “The Long Island Terror,” a firefighter’s widow unwittingly buys the former home of devil-worshippers, and does battle with a demon to save her daughters’ lives."
If you are a fan of the show and want to get updates from people whose stories have been shared in previous seasons, SyFy has a "Life After Paranormals" section on their website with a fair number of updates. I love that they've included this so we can see how people are doing and get even more about their experiences.
Being Human UK ~ Season 5 Premiere
Saturday June 8, 2013 at 9pm ET on Space
Genre: Paranormal
I'm thrilled to hear we will be getting the fifth and final season of Being Human (UK) this summer. It feels like it's been so long since I was up in arms about Season 4 that I think I've finally mellowed out (and that season was good, I just... had quite a reaction to it). It's been a really long and emotional journey through the seasons over the years, and although I'll be sad to see it go I am very happy we will see how it will end.
True Blood ~ Season 6
Sunday June 16, 2013 at 9pm ET/MT on HBOCanada
Genre: Paranormal/Vampires
Easily one of the most popular, racy, crazy and loved of the vampire shows out there, this series looks like it will still be delivering the goods again and again. I'm a few seasons behind on True Blood, and it's one that feels so much more fun to be spoiler-free so I'm not going to include a season description here but you can read one over at the HBO Canada website.
True Blood is an American series based on the The Southern Vampire Mysteries novels by Charlaine Harris. Season 6 will have 10 episodes (down from it's usual 12), and stars series regulars Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse, Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley and Alexander Skarsgård.
Exit ~ Series Premiere
Wednesday June 12, 2013 at 9pm ET on Space
Genre: Non-Fiction/Competition
Although not paranormal, this show sounds like it gets the brain going and is challenging to boot! I think I'll be checking Exit out.
Here is a series description of Exit: "In each episode of EXIT, four teams of two contestants battle to escape a series of four rooms which are each more challenging than the last. The winning team must beat the clock while solving rapid-fire brain games and navigating a bevy of terrifyingly entertaining puzzles in order to be the only team to truly exit and win the $10,000 prize."
Exit is an American game show hosted by Curt Doussett and it's premiere season is scheduled for 6 episode. Exit is based on the Japanese show "Dero!".
Under the Dome ~ Series Premiere
Monday June 24, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT on Global
Genre: Science Fiction
A new science fiction show in the summer? I'm thrilled! Especially as we lost Alphas from the roster and this one is based on a Stephen King novel that's the size of a small town! How could they fit it into 13 eps and a bubble? Less than a month until we find out how!
Here is a description of Under the Dome:"Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, Under the Dome is the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome."
Under the Dome is an American science fiction series based on the novel Under the Dome by Stephen King. The premiere season scheduled for 13 episodes and the cast includes Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Colin Ford, Natalie Martinez, Alexander Koch, Britt Robertson, Nicholas Strong, Jolene Purdy, Aisha Hinds and Dean Norris.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cancelled Shows Finishing Their Freshman Run
The 2012-2013 TV season had many casualties, and most of them had abrupt stops during the year and if you are curious to our thoughts you can check out the latest episode of Hexed for our 2012-13 Scorecard. Although it's sad to see them go, it is nice that we will get to see how many of them ended in the summer burn-off's listed below.
Zero Hour ~Remaining Episodes begin:
Saturday June 15, 2013 at 8pm on ABC
The conspiracy thriller of Zero Hour didn't quite work for me, as it seemed to fall into a pattern after just 2 episodes as well as swaying in a very religious direction. But I'm really glad the remaining episodes will air, and I hope they give some interest and closure to the story.
666 Park Avenue~ Remaining 4 Episodes begin:
Saturday June 22, 2013 at 9pm on ABC
666 Park Avenue was a slow-burn and a bit of a sleeper hit, it took me a fair amount of episodes to get hooked but once I was, I really was. It's been a long time since they cliff-hangered us, but I'm thrilled to see the final 4 episodes will air and I will definitely be tuning in!
Cult ~ Remaining episodes begin:
Friday June 28, 2013 on The CW from 8pm - 10pm (2 hour block)
Cult being cancelled was the biggest disappointment for me this year. I'll admit to being wary of it in the first few minutes of the very first episode, but when I realized they were *suppose* to be a bit out there I was totally hooked. The crazy-meta references, great cast (Matt Davis and Robert Knepper totally rocked the house) and bizarre, rabbit-hole(s) story line always left me wanting more. I'm thrilled The CW will be airing the final episodes of the season, and I hope a Canadian broadcaster does as well! I'll keep ya posted.
Do No Harm ~ Remaining episodes begin:
Saturday June 29, 2013 at 10pm on NBC
Do No Harm will probably be known for the quickest cancellation of the year. I had to really work to see both episodes that air, and although this Jekyll and Hyde story was easily the most disturbing of the cancelled shows it has some great acting and phenomenal tension.
That's it for June! I'll update the post if any new shows pop up. Be sure to check out Ep 134 of Hexed where Suzie and I do our 2012-13 TV Scorecard for new shows that hit the small screen.
After a week hiatus we are back to chat tons of paranormal TV with including Lost Girl and doubling up on Walking Dead, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries plus the season ender of Ghost Mine. Suzie and Shannon also dive into general discussions on new shows of Cult and Zero Hour and new to regular cable premiere of Game of Thrones Season 1. We'll be back next week to chat new episodes of our regs, catch up with Being Human (North American) and The Almighty Johnsons plus also the series premiere of Stranded. Be sure to vote on our Cult Poll, share if it's a show you would like to hear us talk about! Enjoy! Show Notes
Zero Hour ratings 6.3 million viewers, making it "ABC’s lowest-rated in-season scripted premiere ever.", however it's still a larger ratings number than most of our shows by far.
We talk about the shows in depth, so please watch first and then listen. We don't look ahead or watch trailers, teasers, look at casting info, so any predictions and commentary are from our own minds.
For Being Human North American fans, we have a unique reverse-spoiler notation as we've seen the UK version of Being Human up to and including Season 4, so we may touch on characters and events from that series as well, so please watch it first if you want to be spoiler free!
It's almost holiday time but before we sign off for the year we still have new episodes of Haven and Vampire Diaries to explore. As it's a lighter week, Shannon and Suzie decide to also look back at the season-so-far for Arrow and Beauty and the Beast. FYI we have a spoiler-free but quite long segue about Big Love and Breaking Amish during our Arrow chat. No idea how that happened.
Please note that the final 2 episodes of Haven Season 3 have been rescheduled by SyFy to air in the new year. With this being the case, and likelihood of the Canadian airing also being delayed, that means we'll be off until the new year and returning most likely on January 9, 2013 to discuss the return on 666 Park Avenue and Season 3 Premiere of Lost Girl. Be sure to check out our site for any updates over the holiday season and if you get Space remember that the 12 Days of SpaceMAS are just around the corner with lots of marathons and movies to enjoy.
We wish you a happy, safe and spooky holiday season for any and all holidays you celebrate.
We're back! Suzie & Shannon are back for an epic end-of-summer catch up episode where we chat about a whole ton of our shows! We cap off the summers seasons of Teen Wolf, Continuum, Haunted Highway & School Spirits, dive into Season 2 of Alphas & Grimm, plus check out Face Off, Sinbad and The Almightly Johnsons. It was a pretty freaking awesome summer! We've also decided to keep with Grimm even though we didn't chat all through S1 (and Shannon only saw some of it), we're going to add it to the roster of chatting along with our regulars.

Hexed: Sisterhood of the Supernatural All Supernatural TV. All the Time.
Summer TV fun continues to impress as Suzie & Shannon continue to enjoy our regular shows of Teen Wolf & Continuum and the finale of Fact or Faked. We also dive into premieres +1 for several shows including the new adventure show Sinbad, and non-fiction shows School Spirits (which we LOVE) and Haunted Highwauy. There is so much to watch that except for this crazy heat we'd never even know it's summer!
We sound a little different this week as Shannon's using a new computer (YAY) but a little quite (not so yay) and we also while we are chatting too so that's a lot of tech awesome (which we made it through - go us!). There is an odd occasional electronic purr-like sound that's a bit of a mystery & I'll try and solve that soon!
We mention Tahmoh Penikett who guest starred on Continuum this week (although we call him 'Helo' & Kurgen from when he was on Battlestar Gallactia)
