The show really let's you see who is real and who is fake. It let's you know that not all psychics are what they say, and it shows you who are real.

What Parents Need to Know
About America's Psychic Challenge
Parents need to know that this reality game show -- in which psychics use their abilities to compete for a cash prize -- includes frank discussions about connecting with the other side, which may be scary for younger viewers. Detailed descriptions of violent acts (murder, shootings, and more) are accompanied by subtle re-enactments, images of grieving families, and personal pictures and video clips of the deceased (some of which can feel very exploitative).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about psychics. Can people really talk to the dead or tell the future, or is it just good guesswork? Is it possible for people to communicate from "beyond the grave"? Is there such a thing as an afterlife? How do different faiths tackle the idea of the afterlife? What do you think happens? Families can also talk about the role that psychics play in solving crimes. Do they really help solve difficult cases? Is it really like what you see psychics do on TV shows?

Lives in TexasI rate this title on for age 11 and give itA must see program I love it.
Lives in DelawareI rate this title off for age 13 and give itA new low in Reality TV
Congratulations to Lifetime for creating a new low in reality TV tonight with America's Psychic Challenge. If that smarmy cold reading Lisa Williams wasn't bad enough, they paraded these deluded "contestants" through a family's pain following the murder of their son in a drive-by shooting. Two of my daughters, equally horrified, phoned me to tell me about it. I watched in shock long enough to ensure I was actually seeing what I was seeing… I then turned it off, sickened. I know many of the networks pander to the lowest common denominator but this one takes the cake. I'm not entirely sure who is more despicable, the networks who think so little of their viewers or the companies who enable the production of this voyeuristic garbage by purchasing ad time. Jerry Springer... step aside. This trashy show has exceeded even your "best" efforts.

They are doing this for satan. Don't watch it just because you think it's cool.
