Talk:Lie Detector (TV series)

message: This info seems great, but I don't know how to add it to the article:
The polygraph was used in its own TV program called Lie Detector.  Originally a local show on KTLA in the 1950's it was hosted by its creator and producer Ralph Andrews.  
A series of Lie Detector specials were produced in the 60's and 70's and broadcast on the Metromedia stations hosted by investigative journalist Jack Anderson.  
In 1982 and 1983 the format of Lie Detector was revived for a syndicated five day a week version that was distributed by Columbia Pictures Television, and again produced by Ralph Andrews.  
In 1998 Executive Producer Mark Phillips, a former employee of Ralph Andrews when Andrews was under contract to Columbia Pictures Television, obtained the rights to Lie Detector and produced it for FOX Broadcasting in prime time.  This version of Lie Detector was hosted by former LA prosecutor Marcia Clark.  One of the guests on this version of Lie Detector was Detective Mark Fuhrman who appeared and passed a polygraph test regarding the planting of evidence -- namely the bloody glove in the OJ Simpson case.
Mr. Phillips, again through his company, Mark Phillips Philms & Telephision, produced 13 one hour episodes of the format Lie Detector for PAX, now called the ION Network.  Some of the guests who appeared on this version of the show, hosted by Rolonda Watts were: Paula Jones, Jeff Gannon, Ben Rowling (who claims he is the real-life inspiration for the famous character from her children’s novels, Harry Potter), and one of the Swift Boat Veterans.  On one particularly notorious episode of the show a young former Trinity Church worker, Lonnie Ford, appears and on the polygraph accuses the Reverent Paul Crouch (head of Trinity) of luring him into a homosexual tryst at a cabin in Lake Arrowhead. 
Under dire legal threat from the Reverend Paul Crouch's attorneys, then PAX network head Bud Paxon cancelled the broadcast of that particular episode.  The rights to all 13 episodes have as of September 2007 reverted back to Mark Phillips and his production company.

replies: text: I remember the TV series in 1983 hosted by F. Lee Bailey.  It is cited in  Total Television: The Comprehensive Guide to Programming from 1948 to the Present. 4th Edition. New York: Penguin, 1996, page 478.  This article needs to be improved to show the true history of the series.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 21:43, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
