so weird was a television series shot in Vancouver that aired on the Disney Channel from 1999 to 2001. The series at first centered around teenage girl Fiona Phillips (Cara DeLizia) who toured with her rock star mom (Mackenzie Phillips), encountering paranormal activity along the way. Acting as an X-Files for the younger crowd, the series took a darker tone than other Disney Channel Originals. The third and final season saw the replacement of Cara DeLizia with actress Alexz Johnson playing Annie Thelen in a revamped, lighter version of the show. After 65 episodes, Disney Channel halted production on the series.

Question!
This show really freaked me out when I was younger, and even though alot of the events that occured are unreal, there are parts of me that still get freaked out over it. Anyone else feel the same way?

i loved that show. except when they replaced fi. i was never really freaked out by it but i just loved the show. and wasnt the website that fi had acctually a real web site

I loved that show, especially the one where the girl in the hospital is dying, and she goes in her mind to save her, even my mom loved this show, and she hates sci fi things.

I Was Four To Six! I Wish I'd Come Back Tho. I Wanna See It :) I Love Weird Things! Which Is Why I Love NoniNoni, Kirbyqueen, And Evillittleme :D LOL!

This show followed the practice to the dime.. but also didn't enter re-runs for that long surprisingly.. maybe the ratings were lower for this show? but the show has not been aired since 02...

This show is what brought me back to Disney Channel! I LOVED it! It wasn't as good after Cara left though.

Who doesn't like a dead father appearing out of nowhere to save his daughter from falling off a building to her death! I think Disney should show reruns every day!!!

the one about the girl in the coma? Yes this was one of my favorites, it reminds me of a Older version of Just like Heaven :)

I found this and I am very very very very very very very very very very mad at Disney. Its a summary of So Weird, plus what could've been Season 3, but Disney felt it was too dark!!!!

Season one

The season began with Fiona on tour with her famous rocker mother Molly, brother Jack (Scully to her Mulder), bus driver Ned, his wife Irene, and their son Clu. Stringing all of Fi's paranormal encounters was her search to communicate with her father who died when she was three years old. Fi first "encountered" her father in the second episode titled "Website" where an unknown force sent her internet articles warning her of the future. From alien invasions, time warps, and ghosts, Fi faced 13 episodes worth of paranormal activity. Also encountered- one powerful tulpa, a Bigfoot, angels, and of course, the Will o' the Wisp. The season finale featured Jack becoming possessed by an Scottish Will o' the Wisp, aka Spunkie. Fi found the spirit's true name - Bricriu - and allegedly saved her brother by speaking it. Bricriu had offered to protect Fi, and while it is understandable that Fi initially believed he was lying, subsequent events in the show proved that Bricriu may have been telling the truth, and did truly have good intentions (even if he did go about it wrong).

Season two

The second season was even darker than the first, playing out over twenty-six episodes. The premiere picked up with Molly taking time off the tour to record an album. Fi and friend Candy meet a medium who is proven to be a fraud. However, the one who uncovers the fake is actually a medium himself who aids Fi in contacting her father through music on his old guitar. The episode ends in an emotional scene between Fi and Molly revealing how Molly really feels about Fi's search for her father. The character of Clu was reduced during the season as he went off to college. His brother Carey was introduced to fill in the gap. Many classic beasts surfaced within the season, including vampires, werewolves, banshees, trolls, sirens, and merfolk. In a pivotal episode, Molly revealed to Fi that her father investigated the same supernatural events as her. In fact, it was exactly what killed him. Fi was angered by her mother's deceit in covering up the truth about her father. Molly was eventually possessed by the same Will o' the Wisp as Jack was in season one, revealing that Will o' the Wisps, though not necessarily Bricriu himself, possessed and killed her father, resulting in the car crash that police assumed took his life. In this episode Bricriu used Molly to help a retired firefighter get over his fear of fire, proving that he wasn't as evil as he seemed to be on the surface. Following this episode, Fi had further contact with her father, as the answer to a troll's question- Faith- was revealed at the last moment. The season ended with Fi discovering her father's twin sister received messages from him in her sleep. The messages led Fi to a rooftop where she was attacked by a demon and saved by the ghost of her father. He left her with a message that the spirit world was angry with what she does and would try to stop her. At last, Fi got the proper farewell to her father that she had been searching for. Many DeLizia fans consider this a proper, if not entirely fulfilling, conclusion to the spirit of the series.

Season three

After skewing extremely dark and intricate in its second season, the show was forced into a lighter tone for its final batch of episodes. The original third season was plotted by producers Ali Marie Matheson and Jon Cooksey, with such ideas as Fi being possessed by Bricriu and rescued by Molly's priest brother; information about Molly's alcoholism; and of course more of Rick's story. If it had gone as planned, Rick would have been thrown off the roof in Season 2's final episode, forcing Fi to continue searching. However, Disney did not agree with the premise, feeling it was too dark. Matheson and Cooksey subsequently left the show along with DeLizia. Cara DeLizia left after the first episode which introduced family friend Annie Thelen. Fi had yet another encounter with Bricriu that ended with him convincing her to give up her innate attraction to the paranormal in order to protect her family. Fi, unable for whatever reason to see that Bricriu was acting in her best interests trapped him in a floppy disk. The attraction, manifested in the ring her father gave her, was passed on to Annie as Fi went to live with her aunt. Molly moved the family to a new, brightly colored house. Annie's story arc was the mystery behind a spirit guide that followed her in the form of a panther. Her character was also musically talented, featuring more of her singing than the older talents of Makenzie Phillips. The season's stories were a far cry from previous episodes, playing such unimaginative plots as being sucked into a painting (which directly followed an episode of people being sucked into photographs) and a detention class that never ended. Fi never returned for the entire series, not even the final episode (which was a clip show of mostly the third season). Fans demonstrated extreme dislike for the season, sometimes separating it entirely from the DeLizia episodes. After 65 installments, Disney canceled the show as was standard practice at the time no matter how popular a series was. The show left syndication not long after its cancellation.

It aired here a year back or so... I miss it. :( It was awesome. Scary at times, but awesome. I never saw the final season, though. They never aired it. The scarriest episode I ever saw was the one with the troll the turned people into vegetables... xD Sounds silly now, though...

It was a good show, I only saw a couple episodes, but they were very cool. I think disney should have continued it.

Oh yes, that show Severely freaked me out. I remember when I was six or so, I was in my bed and everyone was asleep and that show came on.... It was the episode about that something was hidden behind the wall... It still scares me, even though they NEVER air it. That show WAS a little dark for Disney's main audeince though.

I remember watching So weird when i was like 8 or 9 and it would be on at like 4 pm. and my sister and me would watch it and she would get so freaked out(she was 3) my dad loved that show too and so did my mom. it was like the best show ever. after season 3 finished, they aired re-runs at 3 am(like where boy meets world is now). They should put re-runs back on OR., But the episodes on disney channel.com almost like they did with Bug Juice but not mini sodes the Whole episode.


BTW. everybody was talking about the one with the girl in the coma and that was my favorite one!! :)

Yea I loved that show....

LOL!! wat if we actually get the show back?? would people actually watch it again???

Oh I just realized people havn't posted on this in a while..




Question!
This show really freaked me out when I was younger, and even though alot of the events that occured are unreal, there are parts of me that still get freaked out over it. Anyone else feel the same way?

I used to watch it when it came on at midnight, and I'd be the only one in the house awake and it would really freak me out sometimes..

I loved that show, especially the one where the girl in the hospital is dying, and she goes in her mind to save her, even my mom loved this show, and she hates sci fi things.

I don't know why, but that was one that I really remember, and that was years ago.. It was my favorite, I guess :)

That show WAS a little dark for Disney's main audeince though.

Well I used to see it at midnight, like I said, and younger kids usally don't stay up all night to watch one show.. at least I didn't. I just loved that show, and I wish they would bring it back.. heh

All I know is that was the ONLY show EVER that everyone (including my mom, which is so surprising) watched.

Really? I was the only one who watched it..

LOL!! wat if we actually get the show back?? would people actually watch it again???

I would! LOL

We watched it when their was new ones on a long time ago...

My second fave ep was the series finale (b4 the spin-off with Annie) Where Fi's dad saves her life, so happy :wub8:

This show followed the practice to the dime.. but also didn't enter re-runs for that long surprisingly.. maybe the ratings were lower for this show? but the show has not been aired since 02...

There is this rule that disney programs can only show 65 epsodes. but most have past that limit like thats so raven with 100 episodes!!

It totally scared me! I think that it gave me nightmares for weeks. Anyways, I kept watching it. I wish that it was still running so I could remember.

Ohhh i would like to see it ..Ermm.. maybe its on ******* :D

But wait what is it called?

It's called So weird, you can't find it there, believe me i've tried, but I think there was a place you could see some of the annie episodes, but they're not that well written...The Fi ones are great though

I loved that show, especially the one where the girl in the hospital is dying, and she goes in her mind to save her, even my mom loved this show, and she hates sci fi things.

I was like 7 or something when I first saw that, and It's my favorite from all of the episodes I can remember. I remember staying up until 1 in the morning and watching So Weird in the dark. I never really got freaked out by it though, but now I watch all kinds of things that are like sci fi.

wow i kinda remember this show but i only remember that i thought the girl was pretty XD
