Hart Hanson? If that's who I think, then he wrote one of my favorite hours of TV last year ("Jump", the science-fare episode of Joan of Arcadia). He was one of the best, if not *the* best writer in JoA S1. I was sad when he left the show.
Hmm, this makes me cautiously encouraged.
the drama pilot, about a team of forensic anthropologists who solve crimes using evidence supplied by skeletal remains.
This sounds like a combination of CSI and Relic Hunter (which I *still* miss, damn it).
You did
not
like Relic Hunter! Wait -- was it the English guy?
Hey, it was on at 1 a.m. Saturdays -- it's the perfect late-night Funyun-type TV show!
And, oh yes -- baby Giles. Yummmm.
Yeah, that guy was ADORABLE! And I liked the role reversal of Tia Carrere being the asskicking explorer-adventurer and Baby!Giles being the bookish timid sidekick.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws here, but does this show's title remind anyone of anything?
QUEEN B (FOX) - The Alicia Silverstone-led comedy project has been given the green light to produce a pilot. Silverstone stars as Bea, a successful business owner who used her manipulation skills to become the most popular girl in high school but now finds it harder to use those unlikable traits to her advantage in her late 20s.
eee, wrong thread
Wow, think she'll stumble across different supernatural menaces that want to kill her each week?
Actually, to stay true to the theme, they'd be alternately trying to kill her or impregnate her.
True. And one would succeed at the latter every season or so.
Elizabeth Rohm's next project:
BRIAR & GRAVES (FOX) - Elizabeth Rohm ("Law & Order") and Charles Mesure ("Boogeyman") will play the title roles of Briar and Graves respectively in the drama pilot, about a hard-living priest (Mesure) who partners with a female doctor (Rohm) to investigate unexplained religious phenomena. Paul Sheuring, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Parouse are behind the project, which is set up at 20th Century Fox Television and the latter duo's Adelstein/Parouse Productions. Dondre Whitfield, Graham Beckel and Angel Desai also star
