**More TV Shows that Feature the Supernatural!**

1. _Xena: Warrior Princess_
2. _Kim Possible_

It features the bizarre, magic Mystical Monkey Power, which Monkey Fist and Ron Stoppable are both blessed with. (Fist was seeking it, and Ron was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or perhaps the right place at the right time, as he _does_ save the world with it on several occasions.)

8. _The Pitt_ - No scripted show can truly capture what it’s like to work an ER shift, but I’ve seen multiple reviews from ER docs/nurses that this comes pretty close (or, at least, isn’t laughably wrong)
