Lie to Me was renewed by Fox TV and two new series was picked up by them. Human Target, based on a DC comic, and Sons of Tuscon, the comedy that Tyler Labine, currently starring in Reaper, was in the pilot for.
It would be funny if CW renews Reaper and prevents Labine from starring in this Fox series. Remember how NBC made Pierce Bronson honor his contract to Remington Steele and forgo starring as James Bond, much to Timothy Dalton's happiness. NBC made a couple of TV movies with Bronson and then cancelled the low rated series. At least Pierce got to star as Bond later.
Tom Selleck had to honor his Magnum PI contract and could not play Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Harrison Ford got that honor. Selleck did go on to star in High Road to China as a World War I ace who escorts a woman looking for her father in China. I thought it was a pretty good film, it was not a big enough hit but worth a rental sometime.
Human Target in DC comics was an investigator who would disguise himself as his clients who were potential murder victims, hence making himself a human target. He would find out who the murderer was and stop them. Pretty straightforward in the original series, he got a Vertigo (DC's mature adult comic book line) makeover and that storyline had him actually becoming the person and getting confused about his real identity. More psychological drama in his cases.
Lots of series finales tonight, I really want to see the Lost two hour finale, so I said adios amigos.
Oh well.
