Syfy Announces 2011 Schedule

On the reality side, series greenlights include Haunted Collector, a paranormal investigation series focusing on haunted objects (premiere in June), rather than places; Legend Quest, which follows a real-life symbologist tracking down ancient mysteries (premieres in July); and Paranormal Witness, which tells the true stories of those who have lived through paranormal experiences (premieres in September).

In the Dark centers on a team of wannabe paranormal investigators.

Three Inches tells the story of a man who is struck by lightning and is imbued with the power to move things with his mind — but only a distance of three inches.

There's also Tyler Shields, from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]star [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], a docu-series featuring the Los Angeles-based unconventional artist; Overthunk, a one-hour series that follows teams of creators who compete to design massive chain reactions; Change the Day You Die will use state-of-the-art technology to transport its participants into "the future" to see the face of their own demise and set them on a course to
prevent it; Imagination Nation will showcase the inventors behind Hammacher Schlemmer, who go on the road to meet other inventors; and America's Smartest Kids, a competition show where the country's brightest children are challenged with inventing a better future.

So far, Only Blood and Chrome and 3 Inches looks watchable. SyFy does way too many of those "reality-paranormal' shows, which of course are just as out and out fictitious as their actual fictitious shows, but a lot sillier and unwatchable.
