"Masters of Science Fiction" to air in August on ABC
ABC To Air Masters Of SF
ABC will finally air episodes of Masters of Science Fiction in a four-week run starting Aug. 4, Zap2it.com reported.
From the same producers as Showtime's Masters of Horror, the anthology series was initially considered a mid-season show; ABC ordered six episodes, but now plans to air only four in the death timeslot, Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
There's no word yet on which four installments will air. The hourlong shows feature adaptations of stories by such SF masters as Robert A. Heinlein and Harlan Ellison, as well as Walter Mosley. Actors taking part include Terry O'Quinn (ABC's Lost), John Hurt (V for Vendetta), Anne Heche, Judy Davis, Sam Waterston and Malcolm McDowell (NBC's Heroes), the site reported.

I'm pretty disappointed with the way this series seems to have been treated by ABC- I know I was ecstatic when I first heard about it, anyway, I'm glad that there will be the chance to see at least some of it, I just hope they don't cancel after the first ep or two due to low ratings. For something that only has an intended six episodes ready made, you'd think that they'd have the decency to actually air the whole thing.
and Spudster made another neat one 
Dr. Lee RULES!
