Also from that report:
Comic-Con's Pushing Daisies panel couldn't be any more awesome if it were scripted. Not only is the rapt crowd treated to Kristin Chenoweth belting out a heartfelt rendition of "Over the Rainbow," but creator Bryan Fuller and his very attractive cast reveal a veritable pieful of goodies we'll be seeing this upcoming season.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Netflix the dvds when they come out.
But, But! I don't actually want to, you know, watch the show. I get annoyed at Who when the more in-your-face kid-friendly aspects show up (although if that's what saves Who from being season 1 Torchwood, I'm head-over-heels for the presence of that target demographic), and SJA looks like it's chock full of it. And the small bits I've seen left me bored and channel-surfing.
And to working mothers here, my comments regarding Teyla weren't knocking the hardship of the choice/balance, just the clunkiness of how they've written it/her. Just wanted to say that in case I looked insensitive to female cops/firefighters/soldiers/marines/etc who are also mothers.

As much as I love Sarah Jane as a character, I do tend to zone out during the more kid-focused parts of her own show. But I wake back up for Liz Sladen's performance, which tends to be wonderfully nuanced for the material she's performing.
Plus, that eye-rolling fanfare that goes with Mr. Smith's appearance in every episode made for a good joke in "The Stolen Earth."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was impressed at the sense of jeopardy that SJA would leave you with at their cliffhanger (once a week), especially towards the end of the season. Who is much less of a kids show these days, but I think SJA is a good fill-in in the universe.

I'm still shocked when I hear that Who is supposed to be a kids show, what with the death and the genocide and the omnisexuality and the occassional dancing. But I suppose perhaps it's more of a kids show inasmuch as The Muppet Show was ... sorta. And I suppose that if I had kids, I'd rather they watched Who as opposed to some of the other mind-numbing fanfare out there.

I think Who was more of a kids show back in the day, but I'm not sure it's being presented that way since its return.
