 Weird Or What (sometimes marketed as William Shatner's Weird Or What) is a television series that ran for three seasons from 2010 to 2012. Hosted by William Shatner, the show's subject matter covers anything that is strange and does not have a proven scientific explanation. This includes the paranormal such as aliens, curses, ghosts, monsters, and conspiracy theories, as well as documented but unexplained occurances, like medical oddities, unexplained disappearances, superhuman feats, ancient mysteries, and more.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Typically, each episode showcases three stories. Sometimes there's a common theme connecting them, sometimes there isn't. Shatner opens each episode by briefly explaining the stories, then examines each of them in detail. Shatner narrates a recreation of each event, sometimes with interviews with the actual people that were affected. The show then examines possible explanations for the event discussed by experts and supporters of the different theories, occasionally with tests conducted by experts or the show itself to show if a theory is plausible or not. Whether the case is closed with a valid explanation or not, Shatner always concludes that it is inarguable that what happened is "weird, or what."

 Adam Westing: Shatner, naturally. Downplayed in the stories as Shatner narrates compared to the segments featuring him on camera, though his distinctive speech patterns are always present.
