Seeing Things was a Canadian dramedy mystery television series which aired on CBC Television from 1981 to 1987.

The show starred Louis Del Grande as Louis Ciccone, a newspaper journalist who solves murders with the help of his ability to see postcognitive visions. Unfortunately, Louis cannot consciously control this sense except by investigating the clues the initial vision gives. Only when he discovers new information on the case will further visions occur which provide increasingly more detail until they finally reveal the murderer.

The show also starred Del Grande's real-life wife, Martha Gibson, as Ciccone's wife Marge, and Janet-Laine Green as Ciccone's colleague Heather Redfern.

Del Grande was also the show's creator and writer.

Controversy

---

Although the series was not particularly controversial when it aired, in the mid-1990s when it was rebroadcast on the Canadian cable network Showcase Television, the broadcaster chose to air the series with a disclaimer advising that the less-than-a-decade-old series might be offensive to some viewers because it showed outdated attitudes (it was one of several series carrying this warning). A report on this disclaimer was circulated by the Canadian Press leading to accusations of Showcase being overly politically correct and the disclaimer was eventually dropped.
