Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the series "1800 Where are you" by Meg Cabot
- GoofsThroughout the first season, several agents refer to the Special Agent In Charge as the S-A-I-C, an acronym for the position. This position is known in the FBI as the SAC (pronounced sack) and is never spelled out as the characters do with S-A-I-C. The only variation on the acronym is for the Assistant Special Agent in Charge, or ASAC (pronounced a-sack).
- Quotes
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Okay look, calm down.
Jess Mastriani: Easy for you to say, you were not grabbed by a hand from the grave!
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Neither were you, it was just a vision.
Jess Mastriani: No! They're not visions until you know they're visions, when it happened it was a hand from the grave.
[sighs]
Jess Mastriani: It felt really cold.
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Was there anything else?
Jess Mastriani: I don't want to talk about the vision. I want, I want a job in the food service industry. Something involving French fries and paper hats and no hands coming out of the ground!
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Maybe it has something to do with the case, Jess.
Jess Mastriani: And maybe I was at Janey's funeral, who I couldn't stand, but she was shot and killed, so I feel guilty, and so now she's going to haunt me forever! Maybe that, Nicole.

Season 1
(Theme song)
Written by Gloria Reuben and Andy Chase
Performed by Gloria Reuben
The series, which premiered on Lifetime Channel on August 2, 2003, skips most of the events in the book, leaving out the father and barely touching on her mentally ill brother, completely ignoring her long battle against the FBI and the team of psychics she eventually works with at the very end of the book series.
So, the show is only vaguely related to the books. Yes, she is a psychic who gained her powers after being hit by lightning and finds missing people in her dreams. But don't expect to see anything from the books.
Casting for the main character is good, any other casting is immaterial since none of the other characters from the book are in the series.
It is unclear if they intend her to be the high school student she was in the books, or if she is college age (as is stated in the series, which may have just been a smartass comment and not her "real age").
Overall, the new series is worth watching, if you like psychic cop shows. If you liked Profiler, you will probably like 1-800-Missing. It has a similar feel, with a *much* younger heroine.
