- TriviaThe cane that Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) used throughout the series is the same one used by Stu Redman in The Stand (1994) and Andre Linoge in Storm of the Century (1999), just with a different head. All three stories were adapted from Stephen King novels.
- GoofsJohnny's hairstyle changes back and forth several times during the episodes "Wheel of Fortune" and "What It Seems" because of reshoots that were done a year after the initial filming.

Heard in all episodes starting with Episode 2 through the end of Season 3
i hoped so as well before i saw episode 4 in season 1 called "enigma". it would be a fair so-so episode much later after a few years of the show, where the writers ran out of ideas - but to see something like that in the first season, where you want to hook up people on it (and not bore them to death), is really weird. OK, maybe the episode looked better on paper - lets go for the next one "unreasonable doubt". better than the last one (but OK, that wasn't hard to manage) but still not even good.
the scheme is always the same: psychic guy touches someone/something, has a vision (some of them are technically very nice!) and is always right about it. after that he has to convince the others that he's right. where is the suspense in that? his visions are too clear - and i wonder how he can get always the "important" information (that can carry on the plot) out of a person/object and not one other from the millions of possibilities. strangely enough, neither the main character nor anyone else gets thoughts about that fact.
i'll give this series another try when i'm really really bored and there are no other series to watch - otherwise i might end up being grumpy about the wasted time. but it might be that i rather start watching the x-files on DVD again, even though i know all of them, they don't bore me when i'm seeing it a second or third time - in contrary to "the dead zone", which bored me the first time i watched it and i definitely won't see it a second time...
