It backfired in their faces.
groovyconnor26 April 2001
This show appeared around the time that ESP had become rather popular. The idea was to get contestants who claimed to have ESP and challenge them to win prizes. Keep in mind that this was also around the time of the quiz show scandals. This show took every amountable precaution to ensure that no one would cheat. What they found was that no one actually had ESP!! It was a scam that backfired in the producers' faces. Most contestants were eliminated within the introductory rounds. As I understand it, the show itself only lasted through about 3 episodes. I doubt it was ever anything close to the shining star on Vincent Price's resume.

The format was changed.
bpatrick-85 July 2019
About the fourth week the format was changed to reenactments of incidents--supposedly true--involving ESP, with Vincent Price interviewing the real people involved after the dramatization. That format didn't work any better and the show was canceled at the end of the summer of 1958.
