VOYER'S PROGRAMS

Below is my weekly listing of upcoming TV programs and movies on American cable and syndicated television which in some way feature hypnofetish material in their plots.

All listed showtimes are for the Pacific Time Zone.

American (and occasionally Canadian) based TV channels only. If any of you non-Yanks want a listing for your own country, here's your chance for fame and fortune.

Description of programs may contain massive plot "spoilers".

Station schedules are subject to change without notice. Listed syndicated programs may have already/not yet aired in some viewing areas. Cable network lineups may vary in different parts of the country.

This color means the item is an episode of a TV program, 1/2 - 1 hour in length, while this color indicates a movie 2+ hours in length. (If you don't see any colors, you need to upgrade your browser, or turn on the Cascading Style Sheets option.)

Related genres, as I see them, if I see them, also listed. (Including but not limited to: statues, vampires, humanoid robots, voodoo...)

I don't try to list every single MC related show for the coming week, but find new stuff, rare stuff, and interesting stuff. This culling process is entirely unfair and subjective. Deal with it. I semi-regularly update a list of the MC-related movies which are currently turning up every single week on one network or another; if you want to see the listed movie(s), please consult TV Guide's website or check out your local video shop.

All too often the material of interest is confined to one or at most a small handful of scenes. Sometimes an item makes the list because it sounds promising, not that I know for sure there will be real MC action.

For the most part I do not own copies of these programs. Even if I did, <official-type voice> making unauthorized duplications of copyrighted material, even just for trade, is a crime! </o-t v>

Unless otherwise stated, you can assume that a listing concerns a male hypnotist and a female subject.

Big Trouble in Little China
Ancient wizard uses magical hypnosis on his two would-be brides.

Equinox
A group of youths fall under the spell of demonic forces.

The Manchurian Candidate
Korean War brainwashing of American soldiers.

Extreme Truth
Airs on Playboy.
In this series, the two halves of a romantic couple are hypnotized seperately and then quizzed about their sexual life and fantasies. The fantasies are re-enacted as described, and then post-trance the reunited guests view tapes of the sessions. Watching the subsequent squirming, I personally felt sorry for the guests, as opposed to aroused, but if you're a fan of hypno-humiliation scenarios you'll love Extreme Truth. The program's current "house hypnotist", Justin Tranz, does a good job with what he was to work with, and, if I ever somehow make it Las Vegas, I'd make an effort to see him perform in his stage show.

Charmed.
Airs on TNT.
Series about the adventures of three sisters who are witches. Often employed MC elements in its plots.

Doctor Who.
Airs (sometimes) on PBS.
This long-running British scifi import followed the time and space-hopping exploits of the Time Lord known as the Doctor, and featured just about every kind of hypnofetish material imaginable at one point or another. After a very long hiatus, the BBC is now producing all-new episodes of the series, which are airing in the US. While well done, none of them have featured any real MC content, yet.

Sabrina, the Teenaged Witch
A kid's show which often features misfiring MCish spells.
