Long Island Medium

I've encountered shows about mediums, movies about mediums, books and shows by mediums.

And "reality" TV is popular--has been for the last ten or so years.

So, trust a medium with a Leo Ascendant--Theresa Caputo--to capitalize on that popularity, and create a very unique reality show of her own called "Long Island Medium."

This is about the one reality show I have truly enjoyed since "Hell's Kitchen," and Chef Ramsay isn't even psychic. :P

Of course, Theresa's show is about herself--a medium.

In case you're wondering, a psychic medium is someone who can talk to those who have crossed over.

Now, if you're more accustomed to John Edward's rather quiet, no-nonsense style, you might find Theresa a bit jarring. Theresa, like John, is from Long Island, but her accent is a *lot* thicker, and her sassy attitude is as big as her hair and where John is quiet, Theresa is LOUD!

She's also an unapologetically overnurturing mom, so if you've had someone like her for a mom, you might find that part overshadowing the bit about her being a medium. My dad's kinda like this, but he's not as bad as Theresa...and I've been watching the show because of her mediumship.

Now watching her go about town, even driving around the country, and doing impromptu readings for people--even when at the hair salon!--now that is impressive.

And she has an obvious "tell" when Spirit's coming through with a message for someone: she starts moving her mouth in a funny way--like she's sort of biting her lip. I've never seen John Edward do that, so it must be particular to her personality or something.

For all her loudness, she's truly a force of Spirit-nature to watch. You can either check it out on TLC or watch it on Hulu. Hulu doesn't have back seasons, which is fine for those of us who have only just started watching anyway.

Have fun!
