...I've heard from a couple of people about an intriguing new pilot that's airing tonight on CTV. You can't find out anyhting about it on the CTV site -- when you search it turns up nothing, and when you click on the link for the show in "tonight's schedule" it just takes you to the generic CTV program page, with no info.
So it is that this is the only info I could find on Sabbatical:
Avonlea Badlands setting for series pilot.
Sabbatical is a thrilling, new, one-hour suspense drama that follows the Marlowe family as they leave the big city life behind for an idyllic sabbatical in the mystical Badlands--dinosaur country. They discover something odd about their strange new home and neighbours--cell phones don't work, local kids look like devil worshippers and a fervent minister preaches the end is near. And then there's the triple murder that occurs next door. Is something truly evil lurking in their strange new surroundings ... or is it possible that evil arrived in town with the Marlowes?
The show stars Matthew Bennet (Battlestar Galactica) and Anne Marie DeLuise (Stargate, Smallville) as well as Patrick McKenna and Stephen McHattie.
The pilot was directed by Ken Girotti, (Rescue Me, Law & Order: CI -- he's also currently directing an episode of The Border) and was created by Peter Mitchell.
What can be said? It's a pilot, it's being shown at 10pm on the Friday of American Thanksgiving weekend (when CTV probably doesn't have a lot of stuff coming from the American broadcasters.)
Then again, it is a pilot, and remember that pilots that don't get picked up rarely air, so it could just be that CTV's throwing this out there because they're not sure about it and they want to see how the audience reacts.
As one friend wrote me, "It's got sex, violence and dinosaurs - seriously, who among you can top that?"

Adam Baldwin Reveals What's Up with Chuck
by Matt Webb Mitovich
While Zachary Levi's unlikely spy tries to make the best of an impossible situation – none to easy when your CIA handler is as smokin' as Sarah! – it's up to Adam Baldwin's Casey to keep everyone in line and on target. The Firefly alum gave TVGuide.com a sneak peek at what's ahead on NBC's buzzworthy Chuck (airing Mondays at 8 pm/ET). Plus, what is Zachary Levi really like when the cameras stop rlling?
TVGuide.com: Will Chuck happen to leave us with any kind of a cliffhanger?
Baldwin: Er, that's above my pay grade to comment on. [Laughs] But yeah, I think so. There's something.
**snippage**
TVGuide.com: What else do you have coming up?
Baldwin: I did a little movie called Gospel Hill, which Giancarlo Esposito directed.

See what's up with Chuck using our Online Video Guide.
Where's Punky Power when you need it? This new Hallmark Hall of Fame drama stars Oscar winner Sissy Spacek as Josie, a retired art teacher who becomes the foster mother of last resort to 12-year-old Hollis (Jodelle Ferland). Finally in a place that feels like home, Hollis fears she'll lose it all when Josie's mind begins to deteriorate, and she must reconnect with a previous foster family. Alfre Woodard and James Tupper ("Men in Trees") also star.

'Man' could bring Plummer first Oscar nom
By Martin A. Grove
Nov 28, 2007
Plummer performance: It's a tough year for anyone hoping to land a
best actor Oscar nomination since the field's packed with high-profile
contenders and strong performances.
**snippage**
Is there room for one more? Well, I hope so having just seen
Christopher Plummer's performance in Michael Schroeder's "Man in the
Chair." Plummer's movie career goes way back to Sidney Lumet's 1958
drama "Stage Struck" starring Henry Fonda and Susan Strasberg. Over
the years, Plummer's worked with other top directors and starred in
such films as Robert Wise's "The Sound of Music," Michael Mann's "The
Insider," Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind," Atom Egoyan's "Ararat,"
Stephen Gaghan's "Syriana" and Spike Lee's "Inside Man." Believe it or
not, not only has he never won an Oscar, he's never even been
nominated for one!
Academy members now have an opportunity to honor Plummer for his work
in "Man." It's a film they're likely to enjoy, by the way, if they
take the time to see it. "Man" revolves around a high school kid
(Michael Angarano, who played the young Red Pollard in "Seabiscuit")
who comes up with the smart idea of enlisting a group of long
forgotten Hollywood veterans living at the Motion Picture Country Home
or in dismal apartments around L.A. to help him make a student film
about nursing home abuse that he hopes will win him a scholarship.
Needless to say, they may be old-timers who are no longer employable
in today's ageist Hollywood, but they definitely know how to do their
jobs and after some plot twists and turns they show they've still got
what it takes. Plummer's character, Flash Madden, is an electrician
who we're told worked on "Citizen Kane" and got his nickname from
Orson Welles after an exploding light ruined a take. The first person
Flash turns to for help on this student film project is screenwriter
Mickey Hopkins (M. Emmet Walsh, whose many credits include "Blade
Runner" and "Ordinary People").
"Man," which is being released domestically by Outsider Pictures, is
written and directed by Michael Schroeder, who produced it with Randy
Turrow and Sarah Schroeder. It was executive produced by Peter
Samuelson and Steve Matzkin. Starring are Christopher Plummer, Michael
Angarano, M. Emmet Walsh, Robert Wagner, Tracey Walter, Joshua Boyd,
Mimi Kennedy, Mitch Pileggi and Taber Schroeder.

Veteran broadcaster and actress Leonie Forbes was recently honoured by the Jamaican community in New York for her five decades of professional excellence in broadcasting, theatre and film.
