delara, interrupted

i'm a step ahead of you, love. we will be recording the heroes marathon on saturday along with the season finale. so, we can watch tv all day in bed on monday. oh yeah, baby!

I was listening to NPR, and they were talking about the Bionic Woman, and that it was going to be good.

I know a few of our peeps (Lacey & Myk?) are into Heroes... I haven't watched it, so I'll probably wait for season 1 to come out on DVD then just buy it. Or find it online, perhaps.

Just what D and I need - another show we like to watch together in bed.

Wait a second. That is good.

Nevermind.

tee hee

My kind of TV news:

NBC on Monday announced Heroes: Origins, a spin-off series to air next season on the network.
Heroes: Origins will fill in for Heroes during breaks in the season. Six episodes are planned.
Each episode the spin-off will introduce a new character -- one of whom will be chosen by viewers through the Heroes website on NBC.com to become a cast regular the following season.
NBC is planning 30 combined episodes of Heroes and Heroes: Origins.
Heroes is returning to its Monday at 9 p.m. time period for next season.

NBC on Monday announced a new Bionic Woman series to air on the network this fall, as well as on Sci Fi at a yet-to-be-announced date.
The series, which will air on Wednesdays at 9 p.m., stars Michelle Ryan from EastEnders as Jaime Sommers.
Here's how NBC describes the show:
"Struggling as a bartender and surrogate mom to her teenage sister, Jaime Sommers didn't think life could get much harder. But when a devastating car accident leaves her at death's door, Jaime's only hope for survival is a cutting-edge, top-secret technology that comes at a hefty price. With a whole new existence and a debt to re-pay, Jaime must figure out how to use her extraordinary abilities for good, while weighing the personal sacrifices she will have to make. Ultimately, it's Jaime's journey of self-discovery and inner strength that will help her embrace her new life as the Bionic Woman."
Will Yun Lee, who starred in Wtichblade and the Elektra movie, plays Jae, a specialized operations leader.
The cast also includes: Mae Whitman as Becca, Jaime's younger sister; Miguel Ferrer as Jonas, the man who employs Jaime's boyfriend; Chris Bowers as Will, Jaime's boyfriend, who performs the operation; and Molly Price, as Ruth, Jonas' second-in-command.
Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff plays Sara in the pilot episode.
Bionic Woman is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio and executive-produced by David Eick, Glen Morgan, Michael Dinner (who also directed the pilot) and Jason Smilovic.

Delara- after all your inspiring,thought-provoking,intelligently-written previous posts, it is *this * that has moved me to comment, first time ever on a blog.

'Judging Amy' was my best friend when I moved to the States (and had no other friends!) Alan had to listen time and time again as I recounted how moving a particular story was, how wise Maxine was,how insightful Bruce was and just how generally great it was!

I'm so happy you love it too! It always felt like a slightly shameful secret ;)

Never seen it.

I'm down to three shows:
House.
Heroes.
Painkiller Jane.

And I don't record House.

you bet....it would be the spin off from grey's anatomy.

yes! amy brenneman rocks. as do the other actors, especially tyne daly. AND! there is a possibility that amy brenneman may star on another tv series. oh happy day.

Amy Brenneman?
