One of the network dicta, in fact, must have been to deal with sci-fi crime, because both Fox and NBC have future crime dramas in the works. Steven Bochco's 2069, written by Bochco with Nick Wooten and Matt Olmstead, deals with a present-day police detective who is wounded, frozen and awakened in the future.The NBC project, which deals with a team of futuristic police officers (no refugees from our era, thank you), is called Future Tense, and is written by Javier Grillo Marxuach (formerly of seaQuest DSV, Charmed and The Chronicle).Then there is the future law drama, Century City, from Ed Zuckerman (Law and Order), which tackles the moral and ethical issues we and our children will be facing a generation from now.Kamelot is the futuristic adventures of a young King Arthur type set in a post-apocalypse world. Wes Craven and Marianne Maddelana produce, with writers Ron Milbauer and Terri Hughes. This one is for UPN.UPN also has Weapon X, also known as Tech, the adventures of a lowly computer geek for the National Security Agency who becomes—well, a sort of superhero. The script is by Silvio Horta, who scripted the feature Urban Legends, and developed the late SCI FI Channel series The Chronicle.A third UPN sci-fi project—do you think the network is going to miss Buffy?—is Shadow Walkers, the adventures of a married couple of scientists and their brilliant, quirky children. Writer-producers here are Dan Angel and Billy Brown.Lifetime has 1-800-Missing, a supernatural series based on the novel 1-800-Where R U, by Meg Cabot. This one, like Wonder Falls, might be airing this summer. For those of you who, like me, enjoy quirky shows (like Northern Exposure or even Eerie, Indiana), there is Wonder Falls from Fox. This series deals with a young woman in Niagara Falls. Wonder—formerly known as Maid of the Mist—has already been picked up for 13 episodes to air this summer, a cunning strategy by Fox to avoid having promising new programs (can you say John Doe?) murdered by the World Series.Wonder was created by writer Bryan Fuller (who also created Showtime's upcoming Dead Like Me) and director Todd Holland.My personal favorite is Newtown, the bizarre adventures of a typical American family that moves to a very unique city. The script for this UPN series is by Craig Silverstein, veteran of Invisible Man and The Dead Zone.===Other SciFi Channel articles call 'Newtown' 'Newton'. basic premise: That pilot tells the story of a family that moves to a new town, which also happens to be the testing site for an array of high-tech gadgetry.</blockquote>
