Thirteen Fantasy/Paranormal TV ShowsThis list is some of my favorite fantasy/paranormal TV shows. Not an all-inclusive list and in no particular order. I’m sure I missed a few, so feel free to add yours in the comments!

Highlander – an excellent extension of a sometimes questionable movie franchise. Loved this series!
Xena – She kicks ASS! Who wouldn’t want to be her?
Hercules – Kevin Sorbo and assorted hot guys with rippling muscles. Yum.
Missing - Who doesn’t love a psychic FBI agent who dresses like a hipster?
The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne - Steampunk with Michael Praed. Mmmmmm.
Robin of Sherwood - Michael Praed and Jason Connery. (Yep – Sean Connery’s son.) Yowza! I also loved the connection to Druid legends and the mystical take on the Robin Hood legend. Very creative and great writing, casting and musical score (by Clannad).
Forever Knight - LOVED this show when I was in grad school! Vampire cops from Canada. LOL
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues - Kane’s son grew up to be a hottie! So, um, the actor who played Peter Kane was also in Silk Stalkings, the Vin Diesel movie The Pacifier (which I loved!), and did the (super sexy Cajun) voice of Gambit on the X-Men cartoon.
Raven - a very cool, mystical martial arts show that didn’t last too long on CBS. Lee Majors was in it as a super-annoying con man, sidekick character named Ski. But the hero was incredibly hot and mostly shirtless, doing martial arts moves on the beach in Hawaii. Jeffrey Meek was his name, I believe. Very cool show! (If anyone knows where I can lay my hands on DVD’s of this, please let me know!)
Dark Justice - another favorite from grad school. It featured a Robin Hood-like vigilante judge who rode a Harley. By day he’s a buttoned up judge who follows the letter of the law. By night, he’s got a band of merry con men who entrap the criminals that escape the system and serve up their own brand of justice. A lawyer’s version of Robin Hood. LOL!
Sabrina The Teenage Witch - okay, I admit to stopping on this show when channel surfing all too often, but it’s so cute! I love the sarcastic talking cat.
Charmed – I watched a lot more of this when it first started, but got a little tired of the story line. Demons aren’t my thing. Sorry. (Which is why Buffy/Angel isn’t on my top list. I liked it as far as it went, but when it became a soap opera, I tuned out. Actually, the Buffy movie was hilarious, but the TV show started to take itself a little too seriously for me. Whatever.)
Early Edition – I loved that cat! LOL. And the star of this show had that Jimmy Stewart presence. Sort of the all-American good guy. It was a clever show that entertained with an often charming twist.
