Joe is doing a whole series of previews on the main site, but I always have an opinion.
My, my, my how the networks have embraced Sci-Fi. Hoping to capitalize on the success of Heroes, Lost and Battlestar Gallactica, the big three (okay five) are rolling out the bait. Once they have ensnare us with these tasty morsels, they will then break our hearts by canceling them. Heck, given that some of these haven’t even been picked-up yet, they are breaking our hearts with rumours. I haven’t seen this kind of feeding frenzy since the X-Files and Xena were in their heyday.
ABC
Pushing Daisies
Described as “a quirky supernatural drama about a man whose touch brings people back to life” this may or may not be about the life of Jesus.
Geico Cavemen
Yes – there is a sitcom in the works based on the Geico Caveman ads. Hey, it worked for Max Headroom.
CBS
Moonlight
This one is about a vampire cop or maybe a PI. Hmmm. Where have I seen this one before? Oh wait. Forever Knight. Both the movie with Rick Springfield (Whose back on GH again – btw – like I need another soap in my life) and the TV show with Geraint Wynn Davies (whose a hunk in real life).
Babylon Fields
Apparently tells the story of a town where zombies go back to doing what they did before they died. No word on if the local McDonalds switched to the McBrain Sandwich. Note: This one was apparently not picked up. I wonder why?
NBC
Journeyman
As Joe has already explained this is a time-travel show, which I liked better as Doctor Who. Or Quantum Leap. Or the Time Tunnel. Or Voyagers.
Fox
The Sarah Connor Chronicles
As much as I want this to work, I predict it will be Terminated. (Insert rimshot here)
CW
Reaper
This one is about a bounty hunter that reclaims souls that have some how made it out of hell. Look behind the poster of Rita Hayworth, Satan. Behind the poster!
