13 The Extraordinary [what was this?]

"The Extraordinary" was a one-hour weekly syndicated Australian import that dealt with unexplained phenomenon. The version which aired from 1994-96 in the U.S. had Corbin Bernsen (ex-"L.A. Law") as the host. I believe I mentioned this show in the "Forgotten TV Series" thread.
