The networks have announced the new shows (most of which will be cancelled of course) for 2007/8. Those of scifi-ish interest: "NBC The Bionic Woman Jamie Sommers is a young woman working as a bartender and raising her teenage sister, Becca. When she is seriously injured in a car accident, her only hope for recovery lies in a top-secret experimental procedure involving bionic body parts! Chuck This new "dramedy" tells the strange tale of Chuck, a 20-something computer geek whose life changes forever when the US government downloads a secret database into his brain and recruits him for undercover missions of espionage! Journeyman A San Francisco reporter suddenly finds himself traveling through time, wreaking havoc on the future and making his present life incredibly complicated. ABC Cavemen Based on the famous Geico commercials, this new comedy follows three cavemen trying to find success, acceptance, and love in the modern world. Eli Stone (not yet scheduled) Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim bring us the tale of a San Francisco lawyer who finds out he has prophetic powers and decide to use them for good. Pushing Daisies This romantic drama shows us the strange world of a man who can bring dead people back to life through the power of his touch. CBS Moonlight This new drama tells the story of a private investigator who is also a vampire. Watch as Mick deals with the curse of immortality and his doomed love for a mortal woman. FOX New Amsterdam A New York City homicide detective is blessed and cursed with an immortality that will not cease until he finds his one true love. The Sarah Connor Chronicles The Terminator franchise arrives on TV with this serial drama. Set a year after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the series follows Sarah and John Connor as they hide from the authorities and Skynet's army of Terminators. The CW Reaper A twenty-something slacker finally scores a job as the devil's bounty hunter, collecting the souls of those who haven't fulfilled their part in a deal with Satan." It's hard to judge how good these shows will actually be from these descriptions. The Bionic Woman is a 'reimagining' from the producers of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica so it could be very good. Pushing Daisies is from the guy who did _Wonderfalls_ and _Dead Like Me_ (Bryan Fuller) and "The people he touches, however, can only stay alive for one minute, and if they don't die again, someone else nearby will die. Ned decides to use his ability to solve crime. He and a local investigator, Emerson, bring murder victims back to life and find out who killed them, to cash in on case-solving rewards. But, when Ned brings an old crush back to life, and decides to let her live, things start to get complicated..." A vampire called Mick?
