Hartford Courant (Hartford, CT):

What’s on Tonight

New on cable is "Sanctuary" (Sci Fi, 9 p.m.), a series about a woman who collects fantastic and odd creatures and monsters in her castle-like home. Amanda Tapping of "Stargate SG-1" runs the place; she recruits a skeptical forensic psychiatrist played by Robin Dunne, who elicits a Harry Potter-Daniel Radcliffe vibe. Highly dependent on green screen technology, it doesn't seem like a bad series. Tonight's premiere is two hours.

TV tonight

• "Sanctuary" debut, 9-11 p.m., Sci Fi Channel. At first, this seems like a drab crime show, but with nastier deaths. A young forensic psychiatrist meets an all-knowing person (Amanda Tapping of "Stargate"). Stick around, though. We'll meet a tough teen (Emilie Ullerup) and a scary guy; it all fits together.

Sanctuary (Sci Fi)

Series Premiere: Friday at 9pm on SCI FI

Stargate SG-1 fans will be thrilled to see Amanda Tapping (who played the brilliant Col. Samantha Carter on the SCI FI series) back in action as Dr. Helen Magnus, the (also brilliant) scientist who holds the secrets of a clandestine population -- a group of strange and sometimes terrifying beings that hide among humans. Along with her new recruit, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman, her quirky tech wiz Henry, and her fearless daughter Ashley, Magnus tries to protect this threatened phenomena and unlock the mysteries behind their existence. Viewers who go ga-ga over special effects might be interested to know that "Sanctuary" is the first series to shoot extensively on green screen, using virtual sets and amazing visual effects.

Sanctuary - Yahoo! TV - Top 10 Anticipated New Shows

At Yahoo! TV:



Top 10 Anticipated New Shows

The Great Writer's Strike of 2007-08 lasted 100 days, but the wounds are still visible in the Fall '08 TV line-up. Fans with a craving for new series will find the typically abundant fall pickings relatively slim, but there are a handful of newbies that sparked some fevered Yahoo! search action. Click through this slideshow to countdown the Top 10 most anticipated new series according to Yahoo! Buzz.

#10 THE MENTALIST

#9 OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

#8 LIFE ON MARS

#7 EASY MONEY

#6 TRUE BLOOD

#5 SANCTUARY

** Weaned on the Web, "Sanctuary" moves into slightly larger environs when the science-meets-supernatural show crosses over to the SciFi Channel. The show's creative legacy stems from the "Stargate" series, and its webisode venture allowed fans to do video mash-ups. Don't expect a cyberspace storyline to carry over: Star Amanda Tapping (who looks pretty good for a 157-year-old doctor sniffing out undercover alien residents) reports that the TV version will be different. What will be the same: continued use of digital sets, a la "Sin City" and "300," making "Sanctuary" the first TV show ever to employ virtual backgrounds. Premieres Friday, 10/3 at 9pm on SciFi


#4 FRINGE

#3 SONS OF ANARCHY

#2 KNIGHT RIDER

#1 "90210"

Stargate Atlantis - Yahoo TV: Sick of reality TV?

From Yahoo TV:

http://tv.yahoo.com/slideshow/268/photos/1




Sick of reality TV?

With summer TV dominated by reality madness, these scripted shows are a welcome relief.

You like that your favorite TV shows help you escape from reality, not see more of it. You love to drown yourself in drama and comedy, catch up on characters' lives and enter into completely new worlds via your favorite series. You can't wait to watch Nancy Botwin's suburban drug-dealing on "Weeds," Deputy Police Chief Brenda Johnson solve the case on "The Closer," or Don Draper's womanizing on "Mad Men." Click through this slideshow to check out the stand-out scripted series coming your way this summer.

Stargate Atlantis is on the list (at # 24)

The ever-popular SciFi series "Stargate Atlantis" follows a team of intrepid explorers from Atlantis, a city built thousands of years ago by the highly evolved and mysterious Ancients, as they explore the distant Pegasus Galaxy. Season 5 promises another dose of excitement and adventure as a new and powerful race is introduced and new alliances are forged -- all while the team continues to explore the mysteries of the unknown galaxy. The season will also include the series' 100th episode and will mark the return of fan favorite Paul McGillion, who reprises his role as the beloved Dr. Carson Beckett for five episodes. Premieres Friday, 7/11 at 10 PM on SciFi Channel

Stargate Atlantis - Season Four

# Title Time Description

74 Rodney Makes An 'Atlantis' Proposal 1:00

Rodney wants to propose to Katie and shows off the diamond ring he picked up for her during his visit to Earth.

Stargate Atlantis' "Quarantine" airs Friday, January 18 at 10pm on the SciFi Channel (US).

I've typed a transcript and made some screenprints from Yahoo's video clip:

Transcript:

Shepard and Rodney in Rodney’s lab, Shepard is seated in front of a laptop, and may be playing computer golf:

Shep: “I can do a nine, the course is a par three.”



Rodney: “No, Katie’s expecting me.”

Shep: “Be late. Women like it when guys are late.”

Rodney: “No they don’t. And I can’t be late, not for this lunch.”

Shep: “Why is that?”

Rodney: “Can you keep a secret?

Shep: “No.”

Rodney (reaching into pocket and pulling out a ring case): “Great! I, uh, I got this on my last trip to Earth. I feel it’s time that Katie and I move the relationship to the next level.”



Shep: “Second base?”

Rodney: “No…marriage!”

Shep: “Really?”

Rodney: “Yes.”

Shep: “You do?”

Rodney: “Yes!”

Shep: “Married?”



Rodney: “What, you don’t think I’m ready? You think I’m…I’m rushing things?”

Shep: “I didn’t say that…”

Rodney: “Well, I’m not. I’m not ready to set a date or anything…”

Shep: “Is that a diamond?”

Rodney: “Yes, an eighth of a carat actually. Mounting was free. And got a good deal on it, actually”

Shep: “Oh, I’m sure you did.”

Rodney: “All right, so…(pulls off ear communication device)…here I go.!



Shep: “I’ll buy you a beer later and we can celebrate.”

Rodney: “Or drown my sorrows should she say no.”

Shep: “No, no, none of that.”

Rodney: “Right.”

Shep: “Well, go get the girl.”



Rodney: “Oh.”

Teyla (very pregnant) walks in.



Teyla: “Hello…”

Rodney, running by: “Can’t talk.”

You know the lament: 500 channels and nothing to watch. To that we say, ease up the trigger finger on that remote control. Cable television, which turns 60 next year, offers up some of the best fictional dramas and comedies available. While premium channels still push the juiciest fares, original programming just keeps getting better on networks like F/X, Sci-Fi, and even ABC Family. So stop channel surfing and click through this slideshow to see the top 10 most searched for scripted cable series according to Yahoo! Buzz.

With Sci-Fi Channel’s okay, "Stargate: Atlantis" will be halfway to meeting its progenitor’s 10-year record for longest running science fiction series. The current season has familiar “Stargate SG-1” faces, but something even more exciting is coming soon: SGA action figures.
