Okay, this was a misunderstanding (first and foremost on their own publicists' part): The episodes of Flashpoint being shown this summer are the "back nine" for Season 2. CBS has picked up Flashpoint Season 3, for broadcast next summer (though if something shocking occurs, and they actually run out of shows to show next Winter or Spring, we can expect to see Flashpoint return earlier). |

Colony - Discovery Channel
Quote:
What would you do in the wake of a global catastrophe? How would you find food? Water? Shelter?
The Colony is a controlled experiment to see exactly what it would take to survive and rebuild under these circumstances. For 10 weeks, a group of 10 volunteers, whose backgrounds and expertise represent a cross-section of modern society, are isolated in an urban environment outside Los Angeles and tasked with creating a livable society.
With no electricity from the grid, no running water and no communication with the outside world, all the volunteers have to work with are their skills and whatever tools and supplies they can scavenge from their surroundings.
Experts from the fields of homeland security, engineering and psychology have helped design the world of The Colony to reflect elements from both real-life disasters and models of what the future could look like after a global viral outbreak.
Over the course of the 10-week experiment, the Colonists must work together to build the necessities of survival, such as a water-filtration system, a battery bank that powered their electricity, a solar cooker, a shower system and a greenhouse – and even some niceties (a coffee maker!).

Great premise! It's like Survivor, but Discovery style. Going to watch it. |

Defying Gravity (ABC)
Quote:
|
DEFYING GRAVITY is a sexy, provocative relationship drama set in the very near future against the background of our solar system, in which eight astronauts from five countries (four women and four men) undertake a mysterious six-year international space mission covering eight billion miles. With the eyes of the world upon them - everything they do is monitored, and every emotion they feel, scrutinized - they soon discover that their real assignment is not at all what they thought.

This is an international series, produced by Fox Television Studios in Canada, and had previously been sold into the Canadian, British and German markets. It is one of the first bunch of series produced for the international marketplace to be sold into the US market as if it were a foreign import.
They're billing the show as "Grey's Anatomy in Space" -- in case you find that attractive. 
The cast for this program is incredible: Ron Livingston, Laura Harris and Christina Cox all are familiar names in my house.
This is supposed to air THIS summer, but it is still listed as being in "pre-production" on Wikipedia. However, some folks on IMDB already report having seen the pilot. Time will tell... but it will be shown on ABC, at some point. |

Trying to find details on when Little People, Big World starts the new season on TLC. No dice. Wikipedia lists season 5A to start in Fall 2009.

I think that's the best information available at this time. TLC is typically one of those channels that put its schedules together at the "last minute" (comparatively).
