Name's Chris. I've been a long time So Weird fan and I'm glad to see an online community for fans of the show pop up. I discovered the show back in high school during the third season. (Yes, im an old fart at 29.) I was flipping through the channels one night, bored of the usual reruns, when I randomly stopped on some paranormal kids show. Being in to the paranormal heavily at the time myself, I watched the rest of the (Annie) episode, and found it to be better than I was expecting. I watched a few more episodes over the next few weeks, and discovered the Fi episodes. I fell in love with the show, being the techy paranormal geek I am. It had the perfect mix of serious, plot driven stories and sillier episodes to take the edge off, and a strong cast and good music. After it was pulled off the air a while later, I kinda forgot about it until 2008 or so. Looking it up online, I was dismayed to find only fan sites that hadn't been updated since the early 2000s and a few failed attempts to start communties and petitions that fizzed out as quickly as they started up. Eventually, I found some episodes to download and rewatched it. It was as good as ever.
As for this site, I was googling the show again to see if anything new had popped up, and found FuckYeahSoWeird, which led me here. I'm looking forward to participating in this community and hope it grows big! Sorry for the wall of text...

Welcome to the forum, So glad you joined! and I am the owner of FuckYeahSoWeird. And I also made this forum, But This forum wouldn't be anywhere it is now without the help of my friend CROD(His name is also Chris) & Krazyshedee who are moderators on this forum. I am also a huge fan, Been watching the show since the first season. Though I don't really remember when exactly I started watching it, I don't have good memories of when I was a little girl, it's all fuzzy. XD

Hey, Chris! I'm Emily. Welcome to the forums. I think most of us are in our twenties on here, so you're not too far out. Haha.
I have similar frustrations about the lack of online support for this show. It seems like when people online talk about missing "Old Disney Channel," the furthest they go back is Lizzie McGuire/Even Stevens. Then you have a few people who miss the Mickey Mouse Club or the 90s cartoons, but don't remember or like Zoog all that much. It makes me wonder if most cable companies didn't pick up Disney Channel until Zoog was starting to phase out and So Weird reruns were only being shown way late at night.

Welcome, Chris the 2nd! BTW, you're not even close to being "old" and as Rockerbaby said, most of us are probably in our 20's here. Interesting that you watched Annie episodes 1st and later discovered Fi's seasons. I did the opposite and also fell in love with the show (quite recently). I'm also new to this fansite and hopefully it will continue to grow. Glad to see another newcomer. =)

Thanks everyone! Glad to be here.
Rockerbaby: IIRC Disney Channel was premium until summer 2001, so it had a much smaller audience before that time... Right when So Weird was wrapping up.
Crod: just saw your introduction. I'm also from L.A. (originally) and my birthday is 2 days off from yours.
White Raven: the Annie episodes can be a mixed bag, but they're still mostly good entertainment. I probably wouldn't have watched much though if I hadn't seen some Fi episodes early on (I was watching the 2 a.m. reruns which would pull from both sets).
The 'old' remark was just a reference to how the only people I've been able to discuss the shoe with IRL are usually 6 - 8 years younger than me (two coworkers).
