Polygraphs latest reality setting
In the ever-expanding realm of reality shows, PAX TV will premiere the prime-time series “Lie Detector” on March 8. The show will profile people seeking vindication for their various claims by telling their stories and submitting to a polygraph test.
Among the “accused and accusers” will be Paula Corbin Jones, who brought suit against President Clinton for sexual harassment, and Ben Rowling, who says his sister, “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, created her literary phenomenon using his childhood experiences. Each show will end with guests’ reactions as host Rolonda Watts reveals the test results.
