PAX Unveils Four New Dramas
LOS ANGELES - The PAX network will add four new prime-time series to its lineup in the fall, all of which hew closely to the net's family-friendly, "Feel Good TV" approach. Three of the four new series will launch on a Sunday following PAX's highest-rated returning show, "Doc," which stars Billy Ray Cyrus as a onetime country doctor now practicing in New York. First up is "Body & Soul," which stars Peter Strauss and Daphne Zuniga ("Melrose Place") as medical professionals who butt heads over the best ways to treat patients. It debuts at 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8, and moves into its regular 9 p.m. Monday spot the following night. The next week, PAX will premiere "Just Cause," about a woman who earns a law degree while in prison for a crime she didn't commit. Upon her release, she finagles a job at a law firm and seeks out the ex-husband who framed her and took their daughter. It will settle into the 9 p.m. Tuesday timeslot after that. The other two new series are "Lip Service," based on the true story of a deaf woman whose lip-reading skills land her a job with an FBI surveillance team; and "Young Blades," which follows the exploits of the offspring of "The Three Musketeers." They will debut in October and November, respectively. PAX has also added three daytime series to its slate: "Right at Home with Susan Crenshaw," a decorating and home-care show, an updated version of the classic game show "Beat the Clock" and "Family Feud," with new host Richard Karn ("Home Improvement"). |
Body & Soul doesn't sound like something I would want to watch. Young Blades could prove interesting though.
