NBC's Medium features bad writing, horrible acting, and a goofy premise. But, that doesn't stop some people from watching it. However, the show could have a damaging effect if viewers cannot distinguish television from reality.
Given the overly superstitious nature of our society, NBC has a responsibility to run a disclaimer similar to the following:
This show is a fantasy. In real life, psychic powers do not exist. “Mediums” do not help police solve crimes. Do not be taken in by “mediums” pretending that they can help you communicate with the dead.
The Skeptic's Dictionary has an excellent article on mediums.
