Sneak Peek: Dollhouse and Fringe
Two new TV shows I'm eagerly waiting for are Joss Whedon's Dollhouse and JJ Abrams' Fringe, both shows will be airing on Fox next season.
ECHO (Dushku) is an "Active," a member of a highly illegal and underground group who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Confined to a secret facility known as the "Dollhouse".
· Dichen Lachman as Sierra
· Eliza Dushku as Echo
· Enver Gjokaj as Victor
· Fran Kranz as Topher Brink
· Harry Lennix as Boyd Langton
· Olivia Williams as Adelle DeWitt
· Tahmoh Penikett as Paul Smith
When an international flight lands at Boston's Logan Airport and the passengers and crew have all died grisly deaths, FBI Special Agent OLIVIA DUNHAM (newcomer Anna Torv) is called in to investigate. After her partner, Special Agent JOHN SCOTT (Mark Valley, "Boston Legal"), is nearly killed during the investigation, a desperate Olivia searches frantically for someone to help, leading her to DR. WALTER BISHOP (John Noble, "Lord of the Rings"), our generation's Einstein. There's only one catch: he's been institutionalized for the last 20 years, and the only way to question him requires pulling his estranged son PETER (Joshua Jackson, "Dawson's Creek") in to help.
· Anna Torv as Olivia Dunham
· Blair Brown as Nina Sharp
· Jasika Nicole as Astrid Farnsworth
· John Noble as Walter Bishop
· Joshua Jackson as Peter Bishop
· Kirk Acevedo as Charlie Francis
· Lance Reddick as Phillip Broyles
· Mark Valley as John Scott
Are you excited or what? Fringe has all this science talk, I'm sure my tiny TV brain will end up getting very confused again.

Sneak Peek: Life on Mars
Coming to ABC this fall is this David E. Kelley series which was adapted from a British Original in which a detective from the present time encounters an accident and gets transported back to 1973 (incidentally, my birth year).
I've come across the Brit production a few times (it aired on cable - Hallmark Channel). It's an engaging series, kinda surreal in some aspects. No computer or techie gags, no pop culture references either (at least the current ones). It's purely old school.
Here's the clip from ABC:
And this is the British original version, from the first episode when the lead is still trying to figure out where he is:
Based on the trailer, the US version appears a bit goofy. The UK version has a slightly darker tone, despite the witty dialogs. But we'll see.
Life on Mars (US) will air Thursdays right after Grey's Anatomy. It should be noted that the British version was a huge hit but it ended after two seasons (Brits always keep their shows under minimum).

Sneak Peek: Worst Week
Alright, funny!
WORST WEEK is a comedy about Sam Briggs, an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please his girlfriend's parents ... but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he's around them.
Sam (Kyle Bornheimer, "Jericho") and his girlfriend, Melanie Clayton (Erinn Hayes, "Kitchen Confidential"), have only one hurdle left to clear as they start their life together: breaking the news to Mel's conservative parents that they have a wedding in the works and a baby on the way. Dick (Kurtwood Smith, "That '70s Show"), a stern Judge, and his wife Angela (Nancy Lenehan, "My Name is Earl"), are protective of their daughter, and are really trying to let go of the anger they feel toward Sam ... after all, disaster follows whenever he visits their house.
But despite his best efforts, every time Sam takes one positive step forward in winning over his future in-laws, he inevitably takes two crushing steps back. But with support and love from Melanie who stands up for him despite his knack for making himself look bad, Sam will hopefully charm his way into her family.
Worst Week comes Mondays 9:30 CBS.

Sneak Peek: Eleventh Hour
I kinda got a feeling Eleventh Hour is a Jerry Bruckheimer production, even without looking at its synopsis. And I was right. It has that CSI-sh feel to it.
ELEVENTH HOUR from acclaimed producer Jerry Bruckheimer follows Dr. Jacob Hood (Rufus Sewell, "The Illusionist"), a brilliant biophysicist and special science advisor to the government, as he investigates scientific crises and oddities. His jurisdiction is absolute and Hood is dogged in his pursuit of those who would abuse and misuse scientific discoveries and breakthroughs for their own gain. His passion and crusade is to protect the substance of science from those with nefarious motives. He is called in at the eleventh hour and he represents the last line of defense.
Based on the British miniseries by acclaimed science-fiction writer Stephen Gallagher, the series is executive produced by Bruckheimer ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Pirates of the Caribbean"), Jonathan Littman ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Cold Case"), Danny Cannon ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "CSI: Miami"), Cyrus Voris ("Bulletproof Monk"), Ethan Reiff ("Sleeper Cell"), Mick Davis ("Wake of Death"), and Paul Buccieri ("Fashion House") for Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Eleventh Hour comes to CBS in the fall, Thursdays 10/11, taking over Without A Trace's slot (which moves Tuesdays).

Sneak Peek: The Mentalist
The Mentalist is a new TV show coming this fall on CBS. It's one of 'em crime solving shows. And this preview? It reminds me way too much of Criminal Minds for some reason.
THE MENTALIST stars Golden Globe Award nominee Simon Baker ("The Devil Wears Prada") as Patrick Jane, a detective and independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. Within the Bureau, Jane is notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium, whose paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. Jane's role in cracking a series of tough high-profile cases is greatly valued by his fellow agents.
However, no-nonsense Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney, "Prison Break") openly resists having Jane in her unit and alternates between reluctantly acknowledging Jane's usefulness and blasting him for his theatrics, narcissism and dangerous lack of boundaries.
Lisbon's team includes agents Kimball Cho (Tim Kang, "Rambo"), Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman, "The Nine"), and rookie member Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti, "The O.C."), who all think Jane's a loose cannon but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases. Bruno Heller (creator of "Rome") is creator/executive producer, and Emmy Award winner David Nutter ("Band of Brothers") is the executive producer for Warner Bros. Television.
The Mentalist is scheduled Tuesdays 9/10 on CBS this fall.

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Twentieth Century FoxNyehehe.
Anyway, BuddyTV has provided sneak peek recap, bless them!:
The episode opens with a scantily clad brunette getting undressed and touching up her makeup, in particular, covering up a nasty set of finger nail scratches run down her cheek. As she works, the sounds of a roiling prison yard raise in the background, and before we know it we cut into the Sona yard. Michael is amongst a mass of riled inmates as they clear a space in the middle of the yard. He spies Mahone across from him, they just look at each other. Before long, two random men enter the circle and fight to the death.If you really need the visuals, then head to this site for lots of screen captures.
Lincoln visits the consulate and tries to get Michael released. The good news, for him, is that his charges have been dropped in the U.S. Also, Lincoln's report on the crime scene is starting to gain traction. It looks like the consulate is going to be able to get Michael transferred from Sona, Like that is going to happen. Michael will have his day in court, but not for 45 days.
Daytime in the yard, Michael watches Bellick stumble out in his underwear. Bellick is pretty thirsty and has a run in with some thugs who humiliate him. Another inmate shuttles Bellick off and tells him to get used to it, he hasn't even eaten for days.
Mahone has a bit of a life review, sitting inside Sona and remembering the events that led him into the hellhole. He fishes for his pills but finds he is fresh out. He stumbles around for a second, spots Michael, and approaches him. He wants to form an alliance. Michael tells him he is on his own.
The concept of Sona being a no man's land is sort of blown out of the water when Lincoln arrives to visit Michael. Since the prison supposedly has no guards and is controlled by the inmates, it is a bit bewildering how Michael is brought out into an empty yard to visit with Linc. Maybe we'll learn more about this later.
Back inside, Michael, Mahone, and a few other inmates are brought to meet the prison kingpin. He explains to them that problems there are solved in the yard, as was seen in the beginning. He also tells Michael he is aware of his history. Michael says he won't make any waves. Mr. Kingpin tells him he doesn't have the capacity. When Michael leaves, though, it is obvious that the Kingpin is quite concerned by Michael's street cred.
The overall feel of Sona was less gritty and dangerous than I thought it would be. Partly because of how Michael was fetched out to visit Lincoln, and partly because there seems to be some politics within the yard that have resulted in a sort of order. Michael is not yet thinking escape – in fact, he balks at the idea – so it appears for now his issue is going to be confronting this power struggle.
Enjoy!
