It’s nice to see the Sci Fi channel put science fiction programs on their station. What a great idea…

Sci Fi Channel has a few projects in development, both regular and limited series:
• This just in from the planet Mongo ... it's a go for the Flash Gordon (22 episodes) series, which is to be based on Alex Raymond's 1930s comic strip. Produced by Reunion Pictures, the series is slated to debut July 2007. Under an agreement with King Features Syndicate, RHI Entertainment will produce the new series.
• Tin Man (wt) - Alan Cumming is set to star as Glitch, a man with half a brain, in a sci-fi take on Frank L. Baum's book, The Wizard of Oz. From RHI Entertainment, Tin Man is set to bow in December 2007 with the first of six episodes.
• Diamond Age - Executive Produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov of Smokehouse Productions, based on Neal Stephenson's novel The Diamond Age: Or a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. Six episodes have been ordered
• Avery House - Produced by Mark Burnett and Tagline Entertainment's Kelly Kulchak and Ron West; NBC Universal Television Studio is the production company for this scripted dramedy about a family that moves into house left vacant for years ... that's when strange things begin happening to those living/staying in the house and in town.
• Untitled project from Darren Star and writer Mike Werb (Face/Off), both serving as Exec. Producers, follows four convicts who are given new identities and technologically enhanced bodies. The four wind up working for a covert wing of the US Government. Produced by Darren Star Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.

• Starcrossed - A comedy where the fourth wall comes down to reveal the behind the scenes antics of a long-running sci-fi space soap, from NBC Universal Television Studio.
