Don’t forget that the new Doctor Who series premieres tonight on the Scifi Channel. If you are a fan of the old Doctor Who series then this is a must see. If you have never heard of it, then you really should try it. The first episode is a little shaky but it gets better from there. You really don’t have to know anything about the previous 8 doctors to enjoy this new series. It still has a bit of the old British quirkiness, but now with a darker layer of serious drama (and a new look that reminds me fondly of Farscape). I don’t know if Doctor Who will catch on in America, but it should.
Cheers,

Survivor: The SF TV Series Edition
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Networks are starting to tell us which shows will return and which will cease to exist. So, here is the “score” so far:
Returning
The 4400, Battlestar Galactica, The Dead Zone, Doctor Who, Ghost Whisperer, Lost, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1
Canceled
Alias, Charmed, Justice League Unlimited, Night Stalker, Threshold
Status Not Officially Known (With my percentage chance of returning.)
Invasion (75%), Masters of Horror (55%), Medium (95%), Smallville (90%), Supernatural (75%), Surface (20%)
Possible New Shows (With the highest chance, currently, of making it.)
Aquaman (Mercy Reef), Blade, Dresden Files, Eureka, Heroes, Jericho, Masters of Science Fiction, Raines, Torchwood, Ultra
So, what do you think? Which of the possible new shows sounds best? (Check out the details on these at: http://scifi411.com/upcomingtv.html).
Which canceled show will you miss the most…or the least?
Me? I’m going to miss Justice League greatly. This was an excellent animated series that was entertaining for both kids and adults. Night Stalker and Threshold had some good things going for them, but overall just didn’t cut it for me. I will miss Alias, but it was starting to get stale.
Of the new shows I have to say it is a really good selection this year and I’m sure others will pop up soon. Right now Jericho, Raines, and Heroes have me most interested. I’ve got this bad feeling that Blade may disappoint and that Dresden Files will meet the usual fate for Sci Fi Channel movie/back door pilots.
