[EricNoah]

In the attempt to avoid missing out on the premier of good new TV shows (ala http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=142884 ), what's the buzz on this fall's new shows? Seems like I've seen a couple of supernatural-themed shows advertised but I can't remember what they are...

Surface is sci-fi as far as I know..... The previews look like it's about something coming up from the bottom of the ocean a la The Abyss

ABC is also updating The Night Stalker. Does anyone remember that show from the 70's? Sort of a combo of X-Files/intrepid reporter deal.

Jennifer Love Hewitt stars in The Ghost Whisperer about, um....someone who whispers to ghosts, I guess. As long as she wears a baby doll shirt, i'm happy

Brent Spiner and Carla Gugino star in Threshold about a group of "elite operatives" who investigate an alien craft.

Threshold stars Carla Gugino (Karen Sisko) and Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek) in it. Look like an alien ship crashes in the sea and these people try to determine what's what.

Cool -- thanks for the list and that Threshold show looks intriguing.

Ghost Whisperer (CBS) Sept. 23

Jennifer Love Hewitt can see and talk to the dead who "have not yet crossed over". Sounds a lot like Medium, except she won't be using her "gift" to solve crimes. Instead, she'll help ghosts and their loved ones find peace...

Invasion (ABC) Sept. 21

An area in Florida survives a hurricane, only to face an "Invasion of the Body-Snatchers"!

 

[Steverooo]

Night Stalker (ABC) Sept. 29

A remake of the old Karl Kolchak series, not expected to be as good as the original... Mulder & Scully, uh... Kolchak & Gabrielle Union's character, I mean... explore strange, possibly related Bad Things Hap'nin' (TM), in an apparent attempt to link them all into a Unified Wierd Theorm.
