Not really a Sci-Fi show, but it does have Summer teaming with another recent Sci-Fi star, Tricia Helfer. The show is a police procedural focusing on officers who use dogs to find missing bodies, with the somewhat unfortunate title: Scent of the Missing.

Best of luck to both of them. Someone change the name of the show: PLEASE!
Remember there is no deodorant for the unmistakable odor of death.

Clearly hired Summer just so they can blame her curse for the inevitable cancellation. I can't imagine this being any good.

Soo... more of Summer ( And Tricia ) is a bad thing?
Firefly was , as we all know, awesome.
SCC was a bit better received, longer lived, at least.
We'll try to forget the Mammoth fiasco.
So, OK, the title is wretched.... but it's Summer ! On T.V. ! That's good, right ?
Maybe?

Alot of hour long dramas have had alot of luck on cable, Burn Notice, White Collar, Royal Pains etc. This may be her lucky break, most of these shows wouldn't have made it on the broadcast networks.

Actually I'd say she had the least impact on Firefly's greatness. She only really came into her own in Objects in Space. The rest of the time her character seemed to be there just as an excuse for the crew to do something.
TSCC was awful. The Cape was worse. She was good in Dollhouse. Can't think of anything else I've seen her in.
I do like her as an actress but I'd also say she's the most overrate of the Firefly cast. That being said I'm not basing the crummy outlook of this show on her presence.

Oh yeah... The Cape. How soon we forget.
Well, how soon *I* forgot.
And wasn't she also in an episode of The Big Bang Theory ?
But I'll have to differ w/ you on her significance in Firefly. Appearing nekkid in a box, on the series pilot... pretty big deal in my book.

I wasn't expecting someone trolling about Summer on this board but...

Not being her biggest fan isn't trolling.
Not everyone adores everything one of the FF cast is in, JUST because they're in it.
Though I think the show has a better chance than Zeek gives it credit for. Offbeat (usually female-led) crime procedurals are TNTs cash cow. They do very well with them.

Quote:I see a pattern! TNT is basing Scent of the Missing, with two women in the lead roles, on a non-fiction book: www.amazon.com/Scent-Missing-Partnership-Search---Rescue/dp/B004X8W5P8/ Besides Scent of the Missing, should it become a series, TNT already has another with two women in the lead roles, also based on books: Rizzoli & Isles.
