'''''1-800-Missing''''', later simply titled '''Missing'''<ref>Not to be confused with the non-fiction series ''[http://www.usamissing.com/ [Missing]]'', which profiles actual missing persons cases, or the 2009 [[BBC]] crime drama ''[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rmx2h Missing]''.</ref> after the first season, is a Canadian crime drama that ran from 2003 to 2006. It is centered on Jessica Mastriani ([[Caterina Scorsone]]), who [[Lightning Can Do Anything|acquires psychic abilities after being hit by lightning]]. She uses the clues from her psychic visions to help the FBI locate missing persons. At first, Jess is unable to control her psychic abilities, and the dreams she gets after seeing pictures of missing persons are full of symbolism and often difficult to interpret. She becomes better able to control and understand her visions as the series goes on.
 
The show is based on the YA novel series ''1-800-WHERE-R-U'' by [[Meg Cabot]], but [[Artifact Title|shares few similarities beyond the basic premise]]. This is [[Lampshaded]] in the later books, where the TV show exists in-universe and many characters watch it, but talk about how it has no basis in Jess' real experiences.
