••Human Target (midseason): Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel, this is a full-throttle action drama centered on Christopher Chance (Mark Valley, “Fringe”), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect. Call him what you like, because for Chance, it’s about one thing only: saving his clients’ lives.
••Past Life (midseason): Inspired by the book “The Reincarnationist” by M.J. Rose, this new drama series is about an unlikely pair of past-life detectives who investigate whether what is happening to you today is the result of who you were before.
••Sons of Tucson (midseason): This is a new family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison.

Hated Dollhouse from the first show but was blown away with how much could have been done with Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I loved the show and will really miss it.
I seen the first 2 episodes of Brothers and as a white woman I’m offended at the racist remarks that were made on the show against white people. I’m tired of the double standard because if similar comments had been made by whites against blacks there would have been an uproar. When I first heard about the show I was glad that there was going to be a show with an all black cast because there was nothing else out there since Bernie Mac’s Show and I don’t remember hearing any racist remarks on his show and it was a good show. I will not be watching “Brothers” again.
