( continues...) "Life" is a new drama about a detective who is given a second chance. Damian Lewis ("Band of Brothers") stars as complex, offbeat Detective Charlie Crews, who returns to the force after years in prison, thanks to close friend and attorney Constance Griffiths (Melissa Sagemiller, "Sleeper Cell"), after serving time for a crime he didn't commit. The cast also includes Sarah Shahi ("Rush Hour 3") as Charlie's skeptical, demanding partner, Robin Weigart (HBO's "Deadwood") as their hard-hitting lieutenant, and Adam Arkin ("Chicago Hope") as former cellmate Ted Early. "Life" is an NBC Universal Television Studio production. Rand Ravich is executive producer and writer; Far Shariat is executive producer; David Semel is executive producer and director on the pilot
"LIPSTICK JUNGLE" - Based on the best-selling novel by Candace Bushnell ("Sex and the City"), this fun dramedy follows three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game. Nico (Kim Raver, "24"), editor-in-chief of a hot fashion magazine, wants to replace her boss as CEO. Movie exec Wendy (Brooke Shields, "Suddenly Susan") finds even her most earnest efforts may not be enough to balance career and family. And free-spirited designer Victory (Lindsay Price, "Beverly Hills, 90210") longs to make her dreams come true, and maybe find Mr. Right along the way. Armed with humor and strength, these three modern New York women support one another through the triumphs and tears that are all part of making it big in the Big Apple. Written by executive producers DeAnn Heline and Eileen Heisler (both for "How I Met Your Mother," "Three Sisters") and based on the book by Bushnell, "Lipstick Jungle" is from NBC Universal Television Studio. The pilot is directed by Gary Winick ("13 Going on 30").
Okay, so NONE of these has Adam Baldwin. . . hmmm, maybe I'm thinking of an ABC show.
Also from the that article:
New NBC series "Bionic Woman" and "Life" will be re-purposed on SCI FI Channel and USA Network, respectively, shortly after their original telecasts on NBC
One of the new shows has Adam Baldwin - I think it might be CHUCK.
It is, indeed.
Journeyman is the timetravelling show.
With Kevin McKidd from Rome. YAY!
Reed Diamond and Kevin McKidd on the same show? I'm gonna have trouble telling them apart.
"Chuck" sounds awfully like Jake 2.0, except without the cutie-pie Christopher Gorham.

Points up at CHUCK.
Upchuck, heheheheheheh. Yes, I am twelve.
But cutie-pie Christopher Gorham is on Ugly Betty now... although I guess you are missing that while watching The Office, Supernatural, et als.... ;)
Why are they moving The Office to 9 PM? Whhhhyyy? It's doing fine where it is!
I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that they're giving it four one-hour long episodes, next season. Honestly, I didn't even notice the change. We TiVo all four sitcoms and watch out of order, with
The Office
being the only one we can't miss.

Somehow it's a little sad to me that I recognize Adam from so much, and this is the credit they come up with.
I think CHUCK is the only one of those I would try out.
I'm not happy about those one-hour episodes, to tell you the truth. I'd rather The Office stay at the lean 22 minutes/ep, because I found longer episodes sort of flabby this season. (Except A Benihaha Christmas, which I love with unholy passion.)
I think a bunch of Buffistas have show conflicts with the new 9 PM slot (be it Grey's or SPN), and it'd make me sad if they drop The Office.

I've caught several episodes of UB through reruns and ... uhm, other measures. It's a very cute show and surprisingly subersive despite the initial cringey premise. It's not an appointment TV for me right now, but once TO moves off the time slot, I'll probably give it a TiVo season pass. And yes, Gorham is adorable in it.
The premise of "Life" doesn't interest me much, but I have an abiding love for Damien Lewis, so I'll probably give it a shot.

I just rewatched
How to Make an American Quilt
and I had completely forgotten that he is in this.
