Show Summary

  • Ended
"Within this hour we will tell you five stories, some real, some fake, you decide. Your call." This weekly series first premiered in May 1997. Back then with host, James Brolin. When he left, Jonathan Frakes made a very interesting host. This series has been on and off, with 'burnoffs' that included 1997/1998, where they just brought it back for one day on Friday. This made people confused, because it didn't air the week after that. But again, FOX revived it was brought back for the Summer 2002. Creepy true stories like a boy vanishing in the closet, and false stories, like a dog coming back to life, and a bankrupt couple with the Gone with the Wind dresses in their closet.moreless

    I used to love to watch Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction on the Sci-Fi Channel. That show scared the crap out of me at night and I'm so ecstatic that it airs on Chiller now. I thought I never see it again.
    Jonathan Frakes was just the best host for this show, not that James Brolin was a bad host or anything, but I would prefer Jonathan Frakes because his voice, I think, was a little creepier. I could watch Beyond Belief again and again and never get tired of it because I love getting scared by this show. One of the greatest shows of all time no doubt.moreless

    Great news! All u beyond belief lovers out there, fox has confirmed that they will air a brand new season, including 8 new episodes of beyond belief (making it the 5th season of the show) It is not yet known if johnathan frakes will be hosting the new season. I prommiss that this imformation is true! Don't belive me? Go to wikipedia.org, search beyond belief fact or fiction and at the bottom of the article it will tell you. Thanks, please comment back! Also, please let me know what type of episodes u guys think they should air. I think they should air an episode about aliens or an alien invasion.moreless

  • This is the best show ever made!!!

    This show is not a good show, it is not a great show, it is not an excellent show, it is the best show ever made in the history of television!!! If it were run by a real company and not Fox I can garentee you it would still be on the air today but sadly that evil company owns it and cancelled it back in 2002 just like they cancelled many other good shows (Family Guy, Futurama, etc) only to return them later on after realizing they made a mistake. Sadly, they haven't returned Beyond Belief yet. Seriously, that company has some major issues in management, this show is extremely popular and almost everyone wants it back, why in the world will they not put it back already? There are a total of 4 Seasons (the first one is not that great and has only six episodes, all hosted with James Brolin and the rest are all 13 episode seasons and hosted with the much better Jonathan Franks). Each episode has a total of 5 segments of very strange stories where the viewer must guess which is fact and which is fiction. The stories are very strange and most people would think there all fake (for example, a man puts on a cape and gets superhuman strength or a man sees the devil in his oven) but a lot of them are actually true (like the one with a ghost cat that only one girl can see) and it's amazing to find out which are true and which are false. The first season is available on dvd so its at least worth renting and if you like it PLEASE buy the DVD. Hopefully with enough DVD sales the company will get a brain and return this great show (thats how Family Guy got brought back after it was originally cancelled).moreless
