Fall 2001 TV Lineup
is Looking not so Good?

July 19, 2002

Where as last fall we were treated to many dark series including CBS's Wolf Lake, Fox's X-Files and In Search of..., UPN's Buffy and SU2, this fall season the pickings are much slimmer. In fact only two networks, UPN and the WB, are offering tales of the supernatural and paranormal and only UPN has new shows.

UPN

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy returns for a seventh and seemingly never ending season of saving the world from evil. No further description of the show is really necessary. If you don't know what it's about then you really have to consider moving out of your cave.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer will air 8 p.m. on Tuesdays this Fall.

Cast includes: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, Emma Caulfield, Michelle Trachtenberg, James Marsters, Anthony Stewart Head, Amber Benson

Haunted

Haunted is one of UPN's two new dark features this season. Starring Matthew Fox (Party of Five) as Frank Taylor, a private detective, who suffers a near death experience resulting in his ability to communicate with the souls of the departed. With their help, Frank solves cases of murder and intrigue.

Haunted will air 9 p.m. on Tuesdays after Buffy this Fall.

Cast includes: Matthew Fox, Russell Hornsby, Lynn Collins, John Mann

The Twilight Zone

Replacing Special Unit 2 this Fall is the remake of one of TV's most popular series, The Twilight Zone. Hosted by award-winning actor Forest Whitaker, The Twilight Zone comes into the 21st century in UPN's modernized incarnation. Each self-contained episode will feature known actors as ordinary people in beyond-extraordinary situations as they enter the sometimes frightening, often intriguing, but always suspenseful and surprising world of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

The Twilight Zone will air Wednesdays at 9 p.m.

Cast includes: Forest Whitaker

WB

Angel

Angel the famously popular spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer returns for another season on the WB and a new timeslot, Sunday at 9 p.m. Angel's mission is the same, to help the unfortunate residents of Los Angeles in an effort to make amends for the centuries of misery he has inflicted on humanity.

They are good witches who must overcome petty sisterly grudges to fight evil and keep their powers a secret.

Charmed will air Sundays at 8 p.m. Premieres September 22.

Cast includes: Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Brian Krause, and Julian McMahon

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Marking it's third year on the WB Sabrina the Teenage Witch returns this Fall as a Junior in college. No longer the confused teenage witch she was when the show started, Sabrina must navigate the trials of being a young woman, torn between love and and her future.
