NBC Buys More Science Fiction: JOURNEYMAN & BIONIC!! Plus Josh Schwartz'
CHUCK!! Plus FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS 2.X!!
I am - Hercules!!
It looks like the success of "Heroes" has emboldened NBC to stick
with
the strange. (Bet they're glad they didn't give up after "Surface"
tanked!)
The network doesn't announce its fall slate till Monday, but Mike
Ausiello at TV Guide already has some of its key components:
* "The Bionic Woman," a scifi drama about a cyborg babe, from
writer-producer David Eick ("Battlestar Galactica") and writer Laeta
Kalogridis ("Alexender," "Battle Angel").
* "Journeyman," a scifi drama about a dude who keeps traveling back
through time to fix stuff, from writer Kevin Falls ("The West Wing,"
"North
Shore").
* "Chuck," an "Alias"-y adventure about a twentysomething secret
agent, from "OC" mastermind Josh Schwartz.
* "Life," about a cop who returns to the force after spending two
years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, from writer Rand Ravich
("The
Astronaut's Wife," "Candyman 2").
* And "Friday Night Lights" Season Two!
All now have series orders!
