I am – Hercules!!


Comic Con San Diego is screening at least three more pilots Saturday.

ABC’s “Pushing Daisies” is the best of all the fall pilots. Created by Bryan Fuller, who also created “Dead Like Me” and “Wonderfalls” and wrote some of the best episodes of “Heroes” last season, it stars hot British actress Anna Friel (playing an American) and screens at 9:15 a.m. in Room 6CDEF.

NBC’s “Bionic Woman” was not as good, even though I think it was at least partially scripted by Jason Smilovic (“Karen Sisco,” “Kidnapped”). It stars hot British actress Michelle Ryan (playing an American) and screens at 10 a.m. in Ballroom 20.

Fox’s “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” was also not as good, even though it was scripted by Josh Friedman (Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds”). It stars hot British actress Lena Headey (playing an American) and screens 5:15 p.m. in Room 6CDEF.

I think these shows have also been floating around something called the “bittorrents” for some time now. Whether you've seen them online or at the convention, you are encourged to voice your views on these projects in the talkback area below.

A concluding digression:

Other Britishers doing American accents on American TV these days include Jamie Bamber (“Battlestar Galactica”), Hugh Laurie (“House”), Lennie James (“Jericho”), Dominic West (“The Wire”), Ian McShane (“Deadwood”), Anaastasia Griffith (“Damages”), Kevin McKidd (“Journeyman”) and Damian Lewis (“Life”).
