Lie Detector

2005 · 1 season

A sober daytime talk-and-test format where polygraph results turn personal accusations into public spectacle, watchable but rarely gripping.

Overview
Lie Detector is a television series broadcast in 2005 on Pax TV. Hosted by Rolonda Watts with assistance from polygraph administrator Dr. Ed Gelb, the show claims to "[examine] the truth behind real-life stories ripped from the headlines." It premiered on March 8, 2005 and ended after one season. Its first episode featured a polygraph examination of Paula Jones, a woman who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.
