justinrobertorama If you remember Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of" and were a fan of that, you'll love this show too. Now it's Shatner's turn to be the host of the unexplained.Much in the vein of the original Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell, (actually this show take many topic from that show) such as shadow people, time travel, parallel dimensions, etc..., Weird or What features William Shatner as your host, and does this just perfectly with equal parts humor and seriousness, this show is just fun.For all the skeptic, no imagination, stiff brained, armchair scientists out there, it always features a skeptic's point of view as well as the believer's.The only bad reviews of this show are from people who don't like shows like this. If they hate it so much, why are they watching it? I found this show on Youtube, since I don't have cable, then noticed it's on Netflix, totally addictive and thought provoking stuff. Highly enjoyable entertainment for those that enjoy these types of shows. There's some classic topics on here like Mothman, but some others I've never heard of before, like some very convincing reincarnation stories and some other really cool topics.Check it out if this is your type of thing, you won't be disappointed.

dylandesign Absolute mind numbing rubbish. This is the first IMDb review I've made, I couldn't watch this and NOT publicly express my discontent.First of all I'd like to know what Bill's definition of the word 'weird' is, as 90% of what I saw (in the one episode I watched) was extremely mundane, and was always followed by the host reflecting with "is that weird, or what?". No William, it's not 'weird', you're obviously just predisposed to believing supernatural rubbish and aren't bright enough to identify simple logical fallacies.To provide an example of the fail inherent to this show, one segment approached the case of 'three eye witnesses of a time traveler!', reenacted the witness accounts, and then made absolutely no effort to debunk the extraordinary claims of these individuals (actually just 3 acquaintances who all knew each other), except to go on and explain that time travel of a completely different kind is known to technically occur in accordance with the laws of relativity - something which has NOTHING to do with the original witness claims. Sorry Bill, but I want to go back to those claims and examine the FACTS...only one witness supposedly saw the female traveler 'materialise' - the remaining two witnesses saw the supposed traveler, but did not see anything supernatural occur - at least one witness is a science fiction novelist, obviously he will be predisposed to perceive what he saw as a 'time traveler' - the witnesses claim the materialized woman to be a time traveler, although they never spoke to her, saw her again, or communicated with her in any which way (how on earth did they conclude 'omg time travel!!' ???) - there is NO EVIDENCE THAT THE WITNESS CLAIMS ARE TRUE; no camera footage, no repeat occurrences, no unrelated accounts, nobody actually admitting to being a time traveler, nothing!It scares me when I see people on here saying things like "this is our favorite family show!!"; honestly you belong to a family of dolts if you believe this stuff.. I think that says it all. Peace.

ddeegan-321-412822 I try to catch Weird or What at every opportunity. Not only to I get to listen to the hypnotic voice of William Shatner, I get to hear some pretty far out stuff that may or may not be true but always makes for fascinating conversation at our dinner table.If you like watching docs about Nostradamus, you'll love Weird or What? UFOers, Trekkers, and kids alike will enjoy it.Lightweight, great interviews from scientists and quasi scientists alike who offer alternative explanations for out of the ordinary occurrences. Don't expect hard science, temporarily suspend your belief and let your imagination rule the hour.

Seb Can plants read minds? That's just one of the many questions posed by this show and the answer is quite obviously no, don't be bloody ridiculous. If you say otherwise I want to see some proof or at least something that strongly suggests there may be something the botanists around the world have missed, not some unqualified Indian scam artist telling me otherwise. Hook him up to the lie detector instead of the plant and we might get somewhere. Real botanists don't work out of their messy garage.I do like paranormal and unusual shows but I draw the line here. Is it weird or what that a man has been struck by lightning six times? No, again it's just completely stupid to stand out in a lightning storm holding metal objects. What's weird is he didn't think to go inside after being hit the fifth time. Aside from the fact that every single thing proposed has no evidence the format of the show is highly annoying. It repeats itself over and over again. I say it repeats itself over and....yes it's annoying isn't it? Couple that with a director that isn't happy unless he is panning in, zooming out or speeding up the film and you just have a complete mess of a show.Like I say I'm not someone who gets upset at being presented with alternative ideas but they have to be something credible and they have to be presented in a reasonable way. Telling me that someone who had a heart transplant had a sudden urge for chicken nuggets and his donor had some chicken nuggets on their person when they died is just insulting my intelligence. To do it while zooming the camera in no less than 15 times on the same shot of a grotesque scene of heart surgery earns this show the lowest possible rating and my heartfelt contempt.Don't waste your time this is complete crap.
