Nerd TV

So it's the time of year when the networks come out and try to get advertisers by the neck. I'm talking, of course, about the new fall schedule.

And, as your intrepid, um, blogger, likes to do when they're released, I skimmed through the new shows, looking for names that I recognize from old shows and movies that I'm a fan of. And also actors that I give a shit about.

So far, nothing too great, but there's a few potentials:

Benny & Joon... ummm... Jayne... are in a new drama together: Groundhogs Day, but with a murder framing involved.

Pyro's in a show about three high school kids framed for a terrorist bombing.

Josh Lyman, Chandler Bing, and the real Jack Torrance are in a drama about the behind-the-scenes workings of a TV variety show.

and Dr. Ian Malcolm is a cop who sees dead people.

No new Buffy sightings so far, beyond Miss Hannigan's show returning next season, but Fox and CW still need to announce.

Tomorrow: potentially big news in the blog.

We're getting a sattelite feed today about our fall line ups. Sp expect the CW to announce sometime very soon.

All I know is we're supposed to have Aquaman after Smallville on Thursdays next fall. and Smackdown on Fridays.

At least on the "Preliminary lineup".

Nothing about Aquaman at all. What a let down.

Heck there were only like 2 100% new shows listed. Something called Runaway on Mondays and something called The Game that's a spin off of something else.

Also Apparently 7th Heaven is returning despite recent claims otherwise.
