Baff, what is Legend of the Seeker ... Did they take Terry Goodkind's Series about Richard & Kahlan and turn it into a TV show? Which network will it be on?

Yes, and it will be on ABC, I believe.

Seeker is syndicated. In the NY Metro area it has been picked up by WPIX11, which is the same channel our CW airs on during the week, and they are airing it on Saturdays. I'm assuming that's Baff's area, too, since his list above shows it on CW.

Depending on where you live, you may find it on a different channel. Check the show's official website, they have an app for finding your local 'broadcast' channel. You may have to do a little work to figure out how that lines up with your cable or satellite provider.

There are also full episodes for viewing at the official site and at Hulu.

Actually, I am in LA. I get it on 2 channels (WGN at 2pm and KTLA at 6pm). I try to record it on both channels every week, because it seems like one channel or the other goofs up the feed every week. They'll lose the first minute, or show it in a picture frame (black box all around) or show the SD version on the HD channel, or, or, or...

Thanks for posting the extra info.

Anyone here about Primeval? I think it originally aired in the UK at the beginning of last year but I'm not sure. It's debuting on BBC America August 9 (9/8c). It looks interesting.

Did anyone read that article on scifi.com about how Fox is already f*cking with Joss Whedon's show? They're having him reshoot the pilot and the episode that WAS the pilot will be the second episode. Man, Fox pisses me off.

I'm really looking forward to see what SciFi does with Sanctuary. I just watched all the webisodes and it was pretty good. Sometimes the bad CGI was a little hard to ignore, but most of the time I was really believing they were at all these cool locations. I could do without the daughter, though. She's not likable enough for me to care what happens to her. She's like Rodney on Stargate: Atlantis.

There are quite a few shows in your list that I've never even heard of; I'm excited to see what they all turn out to be. Great list, baff!

I added Primeval, thx. I've seen a few ads for it, but don't know any more than that.

Can't say I am too surprised about Whedon & Fox. Fox can screw up any show, especially sci-fi.

I'm looking forward to Sanctuary, too. I assume the CGI will get kicked up a notch now that it is coming to TV.

I'm one of the few that actually like Rodney. Though, I think it's ludicrous that they would send him on exploratory missions when he is obviously not cut out for it.

Yeah, I have to admit, although I'm not a regular viewer, I enjoy Rodney too, I think the guys a pretty good actor. I keep thinking I've seen him in something else. Has he been in other SF shows?

Anyone else watch the first two episodes of Primeval? The special effects were pretty good, but I wasn't impressed overall.

Scifi.com weighed in on some of this fall's scifi shows. Here's a link to the story.

I noticed they're trying to do an American version of the BBC's Life on Mars and I was just wondering... why don't they just air the real version of Life on Mars? Or other cool shows from the UK? Someone over there is buying rights to our shows, why can't we get some of theirs (without having to wait a couple of years for it to come to BBC America)?

I haven't been too impressed with the first couple episodes either. But, rarely does a show impress me that fast. I'll watch the rest of the season, it is only 6 episodes. I don't know if they will be showing season 2 immediately, which is another 7 episodes. If it doesn't get better by the end of season 1, I will likely pass on season 2.

I'm not sure if this should be in a separate post (like "online scifi entertainment" or something) -- so far I only know of two scifi internet series: Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog and Sanctuary (well, and now this other one) so it would be a very small and probably inactive thread. :)

Anywhoodle, there's a new "show" on NBC.com starring Rosario Dawson called Gemini Division that sounds interesting. I'm assuming it's scifi since they mention a "bio-engineered life form". It started airing August 18 but I'm not sure if it's weekly or on some other schedule. I haven't watched it yet, but it sounds very interesting. If it's good, I'll report back (if anyone is interested).
