This coming fall, it looks like there will be a ton of new science fiction TV on the networks, in the wake of the success of Lost.
Invasion on ABC at 10:00 Wednesdays:
Following a violent tropical storm, a U.S. park ranger's (Eddie Cibrian) missing ex-wife is found naked and with no memory of how she got that way. Couple that withhis young daughter seeing some mysterious floating lights. The ranger starts to investigate and begins to uncover an alien conspiracy that has been spreading across the world for centuries.
Fathom on NBC at 8:00 Mondays:
A new form of sea life is popping up all over the world, from the South Antarctic Sea to San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico. The aquatic creatures look cute and innocent and kids love to play with them, but is something freakier afoot? An assortment of scientists and fishermen begin an investigation to find out if things are really better under the sea.
Threshold on CBS (I don't know the time yet):
about a team of scientists and military personnel communicating with an alien life-form.
Supernatural on WB at 9:00 Tuesdays:
Two brothers (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki) travel the country in a '67 Ford Impala fighting supernatural forces and trying to find their missing father. (I think this may be a spinoff from Smallville but I am not sure)
I haven't seen anything yet from Fox or UPN, but they wouldn't shock me if they have a new alien show either.

Huh. Threshhold could potentially be cool, have to see more about it. I'll probably watch Invasion just cause it'll be the same night as Lost and Alias.
The others don't grab me.

Actually, Lost is moving to 9:00 Wednesdays, and Alias is moving to 8:00 Thursdays.

Yeah, I found that out shortly after I posted when I went to go look up more info on the shows.
Oh well, works for me. I'll have something to watch on Thursdays to keep me from rotting my brain with Survivor.

I'm afraid they've already Lost. In this universe the Impala was a Chevy.

In Sliders didn't they go to a world where Ford made all of Chevy's cars?
Huh? Chrisisall

I thought I read somewhere that that was just for the summer.
Also, as a proud owner of a '66 Buick Falcon, please don't pick on the under-appreciated Ford Impala...

Oh, and another thing I discovered was apparently that one of the main people behind 'Threshold' is Star Trek hackmeister Brannon Braga. So that's a little more liable to suck. Ah well, maybe the other writers on the series will be decent and he'll just provide some overall ideas.

is the from the movie THRESHOLD---can not see this being a series unless of course they hired Nick Lea (the satr of the film) to be in the series
Also, I can kill you with my brain.
