UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - March 29, 2010 - The premiere of NBC's critically
acclaimed drama "Friday Night Lights" will move back by one week from Friday,
April 30 (8-9 p.m. ET) to Friday, May 7 (8-9 p.m. ET).
Expanding on the hit feature film and best-selling book "Friday Night Lights,"
the award-winning show centers on life in Dillon, Texas, where high school
football brings the community together -- and the drama of small town life
threatens to tear it apart.
As season four opens, a redistricting plan has left Dillon a town divided. After
being ousted from his role as head coach at Dillon High School, Coach Taylor
(Kyle Chandler) finds himself faced with the daunting task of building a
football team from scratch as well as motivating and disciplining the
unmanageable East Dillon Lions. Tensions follow Coach Taylor off the field as he
and Tami (Connie Britton), who remains principal of West Dillon High, find
themselves increasingly at odds with one another. The new year will also focus
on the fate of several returning characters including last season's graduates
Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch), Lyla Garrity (Minka Kelly), and Matt Saracen (Zach
Gilford) as well as Julie Taylor (Aimee Teegarden) and Landry Clark (Jesse
Plemons).
Other returning stars include Drew Waters and D.W Moffett. Also starring are
newcomers Michael B. Jordan ("All My Children"), Matt Lauria ("Lipstick
Jungle"), Jurnee Smollett ("The Great Debaters") and Madison Burge.
The series is executive-produced by Peter Berg (the film "Friday Night Lights,"
"Hancock"), who also wrote and directed the pilot, Jason Katims ("Parenthood"),
Brian Grazer ("Frost/Nixon," "The Da Vinci Code"), David Nevins ("Arrested
Development") and Sarah Aubrey ("Trauma").

PREMIERES THURSDAY, JULY 15, AT 9PM (ET/PT)
NEW YORK - March 17, 2010 - Building upon the success of the channel's Wednesday

celebrated radio host and psychic, Mary Occhino, and Paranormal Investigators
(working title), which separates truth from fiction on supernatural and

later join the reality bloc.
New Reality Series
Mary Knows Best (working title) -- Premieres Thursday, July 15, at 9PM (ET/PT)
-- Mary Knows Best is a light-hearted, docu-soap reality series following Mary
Occhino, a successful radio host, psychic intuitive and mother of three, who
gives a whole new meaning to the term "mother is always right". Her children,
Jackie, Chris and Carl are a mismatched group of siblings consisting of a
skeptic, a paranormal investigator and a reluctant psychic. In each episode
viewers will meet a humorous and unforgettable cast of family characters
including Mary's outspoken older brother Charles and two adorable grandchildren.
The series is produced by Atlas Media Corp.
Paranormal Investigators (working title) -- Premieres Thursday, July 15, at 10PM
(ET/PT) --- Debunks fact from fiction by uncovering the truth behind
supernatural and unexplained occurrences which have been caught on tape. In each
episode, the six-person team, led by former FBI special agent Ben Hansen,
searches for the most intriguing and unusual images, videos and unnatural
phenomenon found online and around the world. Selecting the most intriguing
images, the team heads into the field attempting to recreate the video, carrying
out key experiments and searching for clues and evidence. The team uses all the
latest tools, CGI and investigative techniques at its disposal to try and answer
the question, "Is it real?" Produced by Base Productions.

Seeking out clues on whether these mythical monsters could have really existed
and how they became woven into local lore, the investigators go to any lengths
to unravel these myths. From scaling mountains, enduring deserts, and braving
jungles to diving the depths of the ocean, the team tracks down evidence to
flesh out a fantastic and iconic mythological beast: the griffin, the dragon,
the kraken, a giant shark, a killer bird and the Bigfoot of Vietnam. All through
the journey the information is fed into a sophisticated graphics program, and at
the end a life-like computer-generated model of the creature, living in the real
world, is created Produced by Yap Films.

CELEBRITY CHEF BOBBY FLAY IS MIXING IT UP ON NBC'S NEW REALITY COMPETITION SERIES 'AMERICA'S NEXT GREAT RESTAURANT' PREMIERING NEXT SEASON
Competition Series Hits the Road On Cross-Country Bus Tour in Search of Unique
Restaurant Ideas with Open Casting Calls in New York City, New York, Raleigh,
North Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Columbus, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, Kansas
City, Kansas, Denver, Colorado, and Los Angeles, California
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - March 12, 2010 - Critically acclaimed celebrity
chef/restaurateur Bobby Flay ("Iron Chef America: The Series") is the first of
five key restaurant and business leaders to join NBC's new reality competition
series "America's Next Great Restaurant" (working title) premiering next season.
Flay will be an investor, judge and sometimes mentor to the zealous contestants
who are vying for arguably the biggest prize in reality show history -- the
opportunity to open a new restaurant chain in three cities across America.
Open casting calls for the series are set to take place March 19 - April 5 in
New York City, New York (March 19, 20), Raleigh, North Carolina (March 22),
Nashville, Tennessee (March 24), Columbus, Ohio (March 26), Chicago, Illinois
(March 28), Kansas City, Kansas (March 30), Denver, Colorado (April 1) and Los
Angeles, California (April 5).
The reality competition series is from Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz of Magical
Elves, the Emmy Award-nominated producers of "Project Runway" and "Top Chef."
Flay will kick off the first open casting call in New York as casting teams set
out on a cross-country bus tour to scour the nation for potential contestants.
Participants do not need to have any cooking or restaurant experience -- just a
great idea for a unique restaurant concept.
Flay joins a select panel of some of the most important names in both the dining
and business worlds who will ultimately select the winner. These individuals
will invest their own money in the final restaurant chain, and will have a huge
stake in the game's winner. These larger-than-life personalities will offer the
hopeful restaurateurs their expertise, support -- and the kind of tough love it
will take to overcome great odds. Ultimately, after much-heated debates, the
panel will choose the winning concept and decide which idea will become
America's newest restaurant chain.
Thousands of ideas will be narrowed down and then each week the investors will
put the chosen few through rigorous challenges to discover which contestant's
concept has the greatest potential for success. The stakes have never been
higher for the contestants and the investors. One contestant's dream will become
a reality.
Flay, star of "Iron Chef America: The Series" and "Throwdown with Bobby Flay,"
shows his culinary versatility in the multiple talents he brings to the field as
a chef/restaurateur, award-winning cookbook author and television personality.
Most importantly, he is a leading restaurateur.
Interested applicants for the series should log onto nbc.com/casting to
pre-register for an open casting call at one of the eight stops on the
nationwide casting bus tour. Along with a filled out and signed application and
a photo-ID, casting teams want applicants to bring anything they feel would help
pitch their restaurant concept. Elements could be visual, edible or even
wearable and applicants will have a limited time to pitch their idea.
Visitors also can follow the bus tour on Twitter @magicalelves with photos and
video, and also at NBC.com/americas-next-great-restaurant.

U.S. TELEVISION PREMIERE OF MERLIN SECOND SEASON ON SYFY FRIDAY, APRIL 2, AT 10PM (ET/PT)
Season One Merlin Marathon Airs on Syfy Sunday, March 28, from 10AM-11PM (ET/PT)
NEW YORK - March 9, 2010 - The second season of the critically acclaimed series
Merlin makes its United States television premiere on Syfy Friday, April 2, at

To give viewers a chance to catch up before the new season two launch, Syfy will

March 28, from 10AM-11PM (ET/PT).
An imaginative new twist on a timeless legend, Merlin is set in the mythical
city of Camelot, before history began. It's a fantastical realm of legendary
beasts and mysterious peoples, and a dangerous world where magic has been banned
by the ruthless tyrant, Uther Pendragon.
Merlin stars Colin Morgan as Merlin, Bradley James as Prince Arthur, Anthony
Head as King Uther, Richard Wilson as Gaius, Katie McGrath as Morgana and Angel
Coulby as Gwen.
In the season two premiere episode, new servant Cedric (Mackenzie Crook, The
Office) threatens Merlin's position as Arthur's right-hand-man, turning the
Prince against his loyal friend. Merlin is convinced the slippery newcomer is up
to something and he's right - Cedric is a con man and a thief who's after a
magnificent jewel recently unearthed in a tomb far beneath Camelot. Little does
Cedric realize that his precious prize is more dangerous than he could possibly
imagine.
Merlin is executive produced by Julian Murphy and Johnny Capps for Shine
Television.
In February, Syfy acquired the basic cable rights from FremantleMedia
Enterprises (FME) for all 26 episodes of Merlin. Season One of Merlin aired on
NBC (Summer 2009). Seasons one and two aired on BBC One in the UK (2008-09). BBC
has commissioned a third season, which will air in the UK in September 2010.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE WOMAN'S DEATH.
Detectives Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Eliot Stabler (Chris Meloni)

neglect. However, when more women from Babs's group are attacked, it becomes

JIM CRAMER, host: If we want to reduce our dependence of foreign oil from
oh-so-friendly OPEC regimes, create hundreds of thousands of jobs in this
country, if not millions, and combat global warming, then I think nat gas--not
wind, not solar--is the solution. Unlike renewable fuels, natural gas is viable
now. We've got a 100-year supply of it in the United States. It's 50 percent
cleaner than coal. It is 20 percent cleaner than most petroleum-based fuels. And
on a barrel-to-barrel comparison, US production of nat gas is double that of oil
and close to that of coal. Plus the performance of natural gas stocks, which you
know we care about at MAD MONEY--talking about Chesapeake, Devon, Apache,
Anadarko, Ultra--range over the last three, five, 10 and 20 years is downright
spectacular. Natural gas is simply better. But the one problem the industry has
faced over and over and over again is it doesn't have the political clout of,
say, the anti-Rainbow, pro-black lung coalition, aka the coal lobby. We need the
politicians on our side for a big natural gas push. While Congress is working on
a very good nat gas bill right now, the Obama administration hasn't exactly been
a friend of this silent but not so deadly commodity. OK, so I got to lighten it
up a little. That's why tonight we're thrilled to be speaking to Boone Pickens,
who while widely known as a takeover operation in the oil world--I don't think
we're allowed to use the term "corporate raider" anymore--is also the most
public proponent of using nat gas as a transition fuel, with the eponymous
Pickens plan to promote wind, energy and natural gas. Now, this past week in New
York, Pickens refocused his plan, de-emphasizing wind and pushing instead for
natural gas fuel buses and trucks, basically in line with what we've been
promoting pretty much every week since the show began on MAD MONEY.
What are the real prospects of natural gas future in the US? Let's hear from the
expert, Boone Pickens, who happens to be the man behind this commercial you may
have seen on our network.
Mr. BOONE PICKENS: (From commercial) We have plenty of American natural gas to
power our trucks and bus fleets. It's cheaper, cleaner, abundant and it's ours.
CRAMER: Boone, welcome back to MAD MONEY.
Mr. PICKENS: Thanks.
CRAMER: Good to see you, sir. Have a seat.
Mr. PICKENS: Thanks, thanks.
CRAMER: Good to see you.
Mr. PICKENS: Thank you.
CRAMER: All right. First of all, your ad starts off by talking about whether
we've been lulled into believing that the energy problems are over and you use
Arabic script. Now, it seems like you've decided to go national security, not
jobs, not cleaner air. Is that--are you getting a reaction to that, which is a
wake-up call for Americans?
Mr. PICKENS: Well, no question it's a national security issue. But at--that was
in--that was always a part of my story. The jobs and clean were there too, of
course. Domestic fuel. And so, yeah, but it is a security issue because you saw
what Podesta came out with this week, and I think that's huge that our State
Department recommends we don't visit these countries, and the countries they say
don't visit, we are getting over four million barrels of oil a day from.
CRAMER: Well, and this would be a natural issue for President Obama, given the
fact that he favors energy independence to embrace. Why has the administration
so far been so quiet on this issue?
Mr. PICKENS: Health care. I think that's it.
CRAMER: Well, if that's the case, we're going to hear about it pretty soon,
don't you think?
Mr. PICKENS: Coming up. I really believe it's coming up.
CRAMER: You have the votes. I lot of the people I speak to behind the scenes,
and these are CEOs of natural gas companies, these are not yahoos, are telling
me that you do not--that the industry does not have the votes, the coal
industry's very powerful, the utility industry that's wedded to the coal
industry's very powerful, and this bill will go nowhere.
Mr. PICKENS: Bet you a hundred dollars we have a bill before Memorial Day.
CRAMER: Not a lot to bet, but I like that. I like that wager. Before Memorial
Day. So you think this is going to be resurrected, that Mr.--that Representative
Markey is ready--he had some hearings today with Rex Tillerson, the CEO of
Exxon. Didn't really sound like either way was going to come out. It sounds like
that there's some people very worried about natural gas and clean water.
Mr. PICKENS: This is not in Markey's bill.
CRAMER: Right. It's not in his bill.
Mr. PICKENS: OK. His bill is climate bill. We're talking about the natural gas
bill, which is HR 1835.
CRAMER: Why wouldn't he let that come out ahead of his bill?
Mr. PICKENS: We're coming out ahead of his bill.
CRAMER: You sure?
Mr. PICKENS: I--now, hundred bucks, Jim, get on or get off.
CRAMER: I like that level of confidence. Now, I know that you've put up more
than a hundred bucks for this campaign, though, haven't you?
Mr. PICKENS: A little more, yeah. Try about 62 million.
CRAMER: All right. Now, Andrew...
Mr. PICKENS: That's if I have a hundred bucks left.
CRAMER: All right. I'll go for the hundred bucks. I'll get an exceptional rider
to my contract. In the interest of being fair, you've been on the show a bunch
of times. We made a lot of money for our viewers with Clean Energy, CLNE. You
have been very up front that you've got a big position in it. Do you think that
we ought to start smaller and just try and get the whole country to switch to
natural gas, maybe go with these large trucks. And what would that do if we
converted large trucks to natural gas?
Mr. PICKENS: That's 1835. That's what that bill is, Natural Gas Act.
CRAMER: Right.
Mr. PICKENS: You get the eight and a half million, eight and a half million
18-wheelers. Now, that's what we call a Class 5 through 8, OK.
CRAMER: Mm-hmm.
Mr. PICKENS: So we get them properly identified. And you don't convert them,
they'll be new buys which will create a lot of jobs and all. That eight and a
half million of those will get you two and a half million barrels of oil a day.
I mean, you will not be importing it. Now you're using natural gas, you've cut
out two and a half million. You have cut OPEC in half, that's it. cut them in
half. Now, how do you think that's going to fit as far as being able to
negotiate? You'll be able to negotiate then. Today, we have nothing to negotiate
with. We are a sitting duck is what we are.
CRAMER: No, I recognize that. Now, wind power had been a very big issue for you.
Now it's taken a back seat. Why is that?
Mr. PICKENS: No. What happened, wind is priced off the margin.
CRAMER: Right.
Mr. PICKENS: The margin's natural gas. Natural gas is $5. I've got to have $7
gas to make my wind deal work, it's that simple. So I've got to wait until
natural gas prices go up. But what a wonderful time to move to natural gas when
the price is low. A good comparison is that $5, 1MCF natural gas at $5 is equal
to seven gallons of diesel. Seven gallons of diesel is $20.
CRAMER: Right.
Mr. PICKENS: It is so cheap we're going to go--if we don't make this deal, Jim,
you and I and our generation are going to go down as the dumbest guys that ever
came along.
CRAMER: Well, look, I--OK, we've been mystified. I've been mystified because it
seems like such a no-brainer. But I've often found that common sense may not
play as big a role in Washington as we people, as business people, think.
Mr. PICKENS: We've got the hundred dollar bet.
CRAMER: All right. I see you go back to the hundred dollar bet. I understand.
Now...
Mr. PICKENS: We're going--it's going to be done. I really, truly believe it will
be done.
CRAMER: Well, OK. Now, one of the things that I hear about--and I'd love you to
be able to refute this--is that people feel that, perhaps because of some of the
causes that you have backed, the Democrats in Congress may be not aligned with
you because of political causes, maybe because of your backing of the swift boat
campaign during a previous election.
Mr. PICKENS: I don't even remember that. You know, at my age...
CRAMER: Well, some of those people down there are like elephants.
Mr. PICKENS: You know, at my age, your memory's not too good anymore. So all I
remember is the energy, what we have to do for America. And I think the
Democrats are on board.
CRAMER: All right. What do you think about the idea that the natural gas
lobbyists have been very slow? Now, we've had Mr. Hackett on from Anadarko and
Mr. McClendon on from Chesapeake, and they admit that thought this was such an
easy cause they didn't have to put money behind it. Why was the industry itself
so unable to get its act together for several years? What is it? Because the
technology's come on so fast they didn't realize what they had?
Mr. PICKENS: I think this, let me take you back five years.
CRAMER: OK.
Mr. PICKENS: OK. You didn't have the gas then.
CRAMER: Right.
Mr. PICKENS: When you had the gas, you didn't know how to get it. In the last
five years, our technology has--you take Hackett and McClendon, Chesapeake,
Anadarko, Sand Ridge, Apache, all of them have advanced so dramatically, and the
recoveries are so good, and you've moved up to a point. That's where your 2,000
trillion cubic feet of gas is. Now, let me make a quick...
CRAMER: OK, OK.
Mr. PICKENS: ...conversion, a quick conversion. Two thousand trillion cubic feet
of natural gas taken to barrels of oil equivalent is 350 billion barrels. That
is twice as much as the Saudis have in oil. I mean, we are, our country, yours
and mine and everybody out there, we are a serious energy player. We sit up now
to the table for producers, not in the hall as a consumer. I mean, we're real.
We've just got to have this administration understand that what has happened to
our country.
CRAMER: Well, you're optimistic about it. I wish I could be. Perhaps as we
talked offscreen, that maybe I'm being too cynical. I've seen this issue not get
as far as I'd like, but it sounds like you've got a good read on it, and I just
hope that Boone Pickens, BP Capital Management founder and chairman, is right on
this issue. Thank you very much, sir.
Mr. PICKENS: We're going to do it. We're going to do it.
CRAMER: All right. Good to see you, sir. Thank you.
Mr. PICKENS: OK. Thank you.
CRAMER: Stay with Cramer.

telecast of Frank Capra's 1946 film, "It's a Wonderful Life," starring James
Stewart, Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore. Through a process of Descriptive
TheatreVisiond, the special presentation will be described for the blind and
visually impaired by former President George Bush. Bush's description will
inform the viewer of what is occurring on the screen, filling the blanks where
no dialogue or other sounds tell a visually impaired person what is happening
during a television presentation. The film follows the life of George Bailey
(Stewart) from childhood to maturity in the town of Bedford Falls. On what might
be his last Christmas Eve, a discouraged Bailey wants to throw his life away.
Fortunately, Clarence (Henry Travers), a second-class angel, is sent to show him
the value of life. After Clarence gives Bailey a view of Bedford Falls without
him, Bailey realizes how precious his life is and gets a second chance. He comes
to learn that Clarence was right when he said, "No man is a failure who has
friends." The film, which earned Oscar nominations for best picture, director,
actor and film editing, was produced and directed by Capra.

12/12/2009 (08:00PM - 11:00PM) (Saturday) : THIS YEAR MARKS THE 60TH ANNIVERSAY
OF "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE"-- NBC presents this holiday classic in a special
telecast of Frank Capra's 1946 film, "It's a Wonderful Life," starring James
Stewart, Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore. Through a process of Descriptive
TheatreVisiond, the special presentation will be described for the blind and
visually impaired by former President George Bush. Bush's description will
inform the viewer of what is occurring on the screen, filling the blanks where
no dialogue or other sounds tell a visually impaired person what is happening
during a television presentation. The film follows the life of George Bailey
(Stewart) from childhood to maturity in the town of Bedford Falls. On what might
be his last Christmas Eve, a discouraged Bailey wants to throw his life away.
Fortunately, Clarence (Henry Travers), a second-class angel, is sent to show him
the value of life. After Clarence gives Bailey a view of Bedford Falls without
him, Bailey realizes how precious his life is and gets a second chance. He comes
to learn that Clarence was right when he said, "No man is a failure who has
friends." The film, which earned Oscar nominations for best picture, director,
actor and film editing, was produced and directed by Capra.

ONTO THE ISLAND OF MADAGASCAR IT'S UP TO THE CENTRAL PARK ZOOSTERS TO SAVE
CHRISTMAS - DreamWorks Animation presents a brand new holiday adventure starring
everyone's favorite Central Park zoosters. "Merry Madagascar" begins when Santa
(Carl Reiner) and his sleigh unexpectedly crash land on the island, giving the

(Chris Rock), Melman (David Schwimmer), and Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) along
with the ever-inventive Penguins to deliver the presents and save Christmas.
And, it doesn't hurt that Santa's sleigh just might be able to make a little
trip to New York City so they can finally return to their beloved home. But,
during their rounds, the four re-discover the magic of giving and that it's
ultimately more important than their own wish to return home. Throw in a
long-lasting North Pole/South Pole rivalry between the Penguins and Santa's
Reindeer, magic flying dust and a King Julien-based holiday called (what else?)

Four returning series pickups were also announced today including "Heroes," "Southland," "Parks and Recreation" and the addition of six new episodes of "Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday" skewering today’s top stories in live half-hour primetime shows. The new and returning series will launch next season and the epic event series "Day One" is slated to premiere out of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. "The Jay Leno Show" will be broadcast Monday-Fridays, 10-11 p.m. ET beginning in the fall. Previously announced series pickups include "The Office," "30 Rock," "The Biggest Loser," "The Celebrity Apprentice," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Friday Night Lights," and new alternative series "The Marriage Ref," "Breakthrough With Tony Robbins" and "Who Do You Think You Are?" Additional series pickups will be announced May 19, when NBC announces its 2009-2010 schedule. NBC unveiled pickups for the upcoming broadcast season in the first of a series of presentations today and tomorrow to key advertisers from Studio 8H—the home of NBC’s "Saturday Night Live"—at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Presentations will continue in Chicago on May 7 and Los Angeles on May 12. "We are thrilled to be announcing such an awesome slate of new series that build on our existing quality brand and deliver emotional, human stories," said Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios. "NBC will strive to make viewers feel and our shows represent the full range of human emotion from laughter to tears. We can’t wait to share these concepts with our audience and our advertising partners." "These new series will showcase fresh talent and bold, original concepts that are extremely well executed," said Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios. "We are grateful to the producers, casts and crews -- and our team -- who have delivered incredibly compelling and entertaining new series." In response to an evolving media marketplace and the changing needs of advertisers, NBC has created a more innovative, client-centric approach to its traditional Upfront with a series of one-on-one client presentations, which began today in New York City. These presentations are interactive and, unlike other networks’ Upfront presentations, will include a Q & A with advertisers and NBC sales and entertainment executives. NBC will also host advertisers and affiliates at a "Night of Comedy" featuring appearances by some of its biggest comedy stars including Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Rainn Wilson and Tracy Morgan on Tuesday, May 19 in New York City. Detailed new series descriptions are listed below. For photography, log on to www.nbcumv.com. For additional press materials including EPK and new series promotional trailers, please see companion media advisory. 2009-2010 NEW SERIES DESCRIPTIONS New Dramas PARENTHOOD From the executive producers of the box-office hit "Parenthood" -- Ron Howard and Brian Grazer (Oscar winners for "A Beautiful Mind"), and writer/executive producer Jason Katims ("Friday Night Lights") -- this contemporary re-imagining of the blockbuster film depicts the colorful and imperfect Braverman family -- four grown siblings sharing the headaches, heartaches and joy of being parents. The star-studded cast includes Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Craig T. Nelson, Dax Shepard, Bonnie Bedelia, Monica Potter, Erika Christensen and Sarah Ramos. When Sarah Braverman (Tierney, "ER"), a financially strapped single mother, returns home to her parents and siblings in Berkeley, Calif. after packing up her Fresno apartment and uprooting her two inconvenienced kids, Amber (Mae Whitman, "In Treatment") and Drew (Miles Heizer, "ER"), she is greeted by her opinionated father, Zeek (Nelson, "Family Stone," "Coach"), and strong mother, Camille (Bedelia, "Heart Like a Wheel"), who are privately dealing with their own marital issues. As Sarah is reunited with her siblings -- sister, Julia (Christensen, "Traffic"), and brothers Crosby (Shepard, "Baby Mama") and Adam (Krause, "Six Feet Under") -- all struggling with issues of their own, it’s clear that the Braverman reunion is just what they need to face the everyday challenges of modern family life. "Parenthood" is a production from Imagine Entertainment and Universal Media Studios. Emmy winner Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing") directs the pilot. TRAUMA Executive producer Peter Berg (NBC’s "Friday Night Lights") delivers "Trauma," the first high-octane medical drama series to live exclusively in the field where the real action is. Like an adrenaline shot to the heart, "Trauma" is an intense, action-packed look at one of the most dangerous medical professions in the world: first responder paramedics. When emergencies occur, the trauma team from San Francisco General is first on the scene, traveling by land, by sea or by air to reach their victims in time. From the heights of the city’s Transamerica Pyramid to the depths of the San Francisco Bay, these heroes must face the most extreme conditions to save lives -- and give meaning to their own existence in the process. Starring in "Trauma" are Derek Luke ("Notorious"), Cliff Curtis ("10,000 B.C"), Anastasia Griffith ("Damages"), Aimee Garcia ("George Lopez"), Kevin Rankin ("Friday Night Lights") and Jamey Sheridan ("Law & Order: Criminal Intent"). "Trauma" is a production of Universal Media Studios and Film 44. Berg, Sarah Aubrey ("Bad Santa," "Friday Night Lights"), Dario Scardapane and Jeffrey Reiner ("Friday Night Lights") serve as executive producers. The pilot was written by Scardapane and directed by Reiner. MERCY "Mercy," a new medical drama with a unique point of view, portrays the lives of the staff at Mercy Hospital as seen through the eyes of those who know it best -- its nurses. Nurse Veronica Callahan (Taylor Schilling, "Dark Matter") returns to Mercy from a military tour in Iraq -- and she knows more about medicine than all of the residents combined. Together with fellow nurses Sonia Jimenez (Jamie Lee Kirchner, "Rescue Me") and Chloe Payne (Michelle Trachtenberg, "Gossip Girl"), Callahan navigates through the daily traumas and social landmines of life and love both inside the hospital and out in the real world. The cast also includes: James Tupper ("Men in Trees") as Dr. Chris Sands, a new doctor at the hospital who complicates Veronica's life; Diego Klattenhoff ("Supernatural") as Mike Callahan, Veronica’s husband; and Guillermo Diaz ("Weeds") as Nurse Angel Lopez. "Mercy" is a production from Universal Media Studios and Berman Braun. Joining writer/executive producers Liz Heldens (NBC’s "Friday Night Lights") and Gretchen Berg & Aaron Harberts ("Pushing Daisies," "Pepper Dennis") are executive producers Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun. Emmy Award winner Adam Bernstein (NBC’s "30 Rock," "Rescue Me") is the director. DAY ONE From executive producer/writer Jesse Alexander ("Heroes," "Lost," "Alias") and director Alex Graves ("Fringe," "Journeyman"), "Day One" tells the story of life on earth following a global catastrophe that has devastated the world's infrastructures. Beginning with the immediate aftermath of the cataclysmic event, an eclectic band of survivors -- played by Adam Campbell ("Date Movie"), Catherine Dent ("The Shield"), Julie Gonzalo ("Eli Stone"), David Lyons ("ER"), Derek Mio ("Greek"), Carly Pope ("24"), Thekla Reuten ("Sleeper Cell") and Addison Timlin ("Cashmere Mafia") -- strives to rebuild society as they unravel the mysteries of what happened and face their uncertain future. The group, all residents of one apartment building in suburban Van Nuys, Calif., embarks on a quest for survival and discovers that hope is found in small victories -- and heroes are born every day. "Day One" is a Universal Media Studios production. New Comedies 100 QUESTIONS (fka "100 Questions for Charlotte Payne") Emmy winner James Burrows ("Will & Grace," "Friends") directs "100 Questions," a new comedy series written and executive-produced by Christopher Moynihan ("For Your Consideration") that provides hilarious answers to 100 questions about love. Charlotte Payne (Sophie Winkleman, "Peep Show") is looking for love and has rejected multiple marriage proposals -- but she has yet to meet Mr. Right. When she joins a popular online dating site, she gets a little help from her dating counselor Ravi (Amir Talai, "The Ex List") – who requires her to take a 100-question compatibility test. The questions aren’t easy for Charlotte to answer, and each one requires her to recount a poignant and humorous time in her life with friends Leslie (Elizabeth Ho, "Women’s Murder Club"), Jill (Joy Suprano, NBC’s "Law & Order"), Mike (Christopher Moynihan "For Your Consideration") and Wayne (David Walton "Quarterlife"). The test becomes a journey of self-discovery for Charlotte who begins to realize what she truly wants in a relationship. Ron West ("Psych"), Kelly Kulchak ("Psych") and Michelle Nader ("King of Queens") join Moynihan as executive producers. The series is produced by Universal Media Studios and Tagline. COMMUNITY From Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development") comes "Community," a smart comedy series about higher education -- and lower expectations. The student body at Greendale Community College is made up of high-school losers, newly divorced housewives, and old people who want to keep their minds active. Within these not-so-hallowed halls, "Community" focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale, "The Soup"), who form a study group and end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work. In addition to McHale, the series also stars: Gillian Jacobs ("The Book of Daniel"); Yvette Nicole Brown ("Rules of Engagement"); Danny Pudi ("Greek"); Alison Brie ("Mad Men"); and comedy legend Chevy Chase ("Saturday Night Live"). "Community" is a Krasnoff Foster Entertainment, Harmonious Claptrap and Russo Brothers production in association with Sony Pictures Television and Universal Media Studios. Russ Krasnoff ("The Soloist"), Dan Harmon ("The Sarah Silverman Program"), Joe Russo ("Arrested Development"), Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development") and Gary Foster ("The Soloist") serve as executive producers. Joe and Anthony Russo directed the pilot that was written by Dan Harmon. |
