The Othersiders title
The Othersiders was a paranormal reality show on CN Real, Cartoon Network's live-action block. It ran from June 17, 2009, up to October 30, 2009. It features high school students investigating various Californian locations reported to be haunted.The team consists of:
- Riley, The Leader.
- KC, the Case Manager
- Zack, the Tech Manager
- Sam, the Webmaster, and...
- Jackie, the Researcher
This show provides examples of:
- Agent Scully: Contrasting with KC, Riley is the skeptic of the group, always trying to think of a logical explanation for any of their findings.
- Creepy Children Singing: At the Queen Mary, when the team are looking over their evidence, they hear the ghost of murdered little girl Jackie, singing in one of their recorders.
- Extra-Long Episode: The "Camp Gilmore" and "Alcatraz" episodes are 44 minutes minutes, as opposed to 22.
- Foil: KC is this to Riley; while the latter tries to provide logical explanations for evidence, the former is quick to see it as supernatural.
- Let's Split Up, Gang!: In pretty much very episode, they would split up to cover the whole area at once.
- Lighter and Softer: To an extent; it's essentially Ghost Hunters with a children-oriented audience. But that doesn't make investigations less unsettling.
- Mr. Exposition: Each of the kids take turns explaining the premise of the show, and why the place might be haunted.
- Shirtless Scene: Riley is shirtless as he lounges in the backyard; he gets water splashed on him.
- Supernatural Light: Once an Episode, they find orbs in videos and photos, when looking over evidence.
- Two Girls to a Team: Jackie and KC are the only two girls on the team.
