Summary: A GREAT NEW SHOW
Review: When I accidentally stumbled on this show when my dad rented the first season, I was hooked from the very first episode. It is a great show, and doesn't have a lot of moments when you would think, "this would never happen in real life." With a lot of TV shows getting cancelled like X Files, Buffy, and now Angel will be gone after this season I think this show should be supported because of it's orginal storylines.

Summary: Turned this skeptic into a believer
Review: When I heard this show was coming out, I had no intention of watching it at all. I am not into psychic phenomena or all that sort of stuff. But I caught the pilot episode on an encore airing on the Sci-Fi channel one Friday night and was hooked from then on. If you've read the original book or the reviews here, then you already know that "The Dead Zone" is about a man named Johnny Smith who lives a charmed life in a quiet Maine town. Until a car accident and a LLLOOOONNNNNGGGG coma take all that away. When he wakes up, he finds he has the ability to see visions simply by touching people, seeing both their futures and pasts. Anthony Michael Hall gives a quiet but compelling performance as Johnny Smith, trying to fit in again... Another great character is Bruce (John L. Adams), Johnny's physical therapist and best friend. Bruce brings the show humor and warmth, helping Johnny cope with his unwanted "gift" and trying to discourage Johnny's obsessive pursuit of Greg Stillson. Another interesting character is David Ogden Stiers' Rev. Eugene Purdy. At first, I was concerned that Purdy was going to become a charicature, one of those televangelists squeezing people for money. But so far his character has been supportive of Johnny's gift and has tried to show Johnny care and concern for his well-being. He often leads the viewer to wonder exactly where his intentions truly lie, but so far he's turned out to be one of Johnny's allies. As soon as this comes out on dvd, I am DEFINITELY getting it! It is worth it, believe me.

Summary: Simply amazing!
Review: Wow. I just got this DVD set a couple days ago and I'm still in shock. This is just such a great and clever show. The plots seem like they'd get old after a while, but somehow they managed to keep every episode fresh and new. Worth the money, all the way! I'd like to say a little note about the TV Pilot you can get from the bounceback card. It's about $6 compared to like $25 if you buy it seperately. It is just a compilation of the first two episodes of the first season, but it plays more like a movie, so you don't have to deal with switching episodes in the menu. I find it convenient when I don't want to listen to the whole "Previously on the Dead Zone..." schtick.

Summary: The Dead Zone is pure Gold!! Television at it's Best!!!
Review: You don't really need to review something this cool! All I'm going to say is that if your not watching The Dead Zone on USA then your missing the best TV show since the Early X-Files. Stephen King, the Pillers, and Anthony Micheal Hall have re-vamped the Dead Zone to a series that should be ruling cable television.
