The season premiere of Touch aired on Fox and to be honest, I found myself pleasantly surprised and entertained…
Fox’s Touch, starring Kiefer Sutherland and David Mazouz, premiered tonight on Fox. It’s about a father and his autistic, mute son. That is, until dad learns that his son in reality, is in touch with life like no other human is, and can predict events and hence, prevent bad things from happening.
The series is from Heroes showrunner Tim Kring. But unlike Heroes, there’s only one special person and many character stories in this series premiere of Touch. Danny Glover was also part of the cast.
Though Touch never really caught my attention through the months of marketing up to tonight, It was, I felt, a fortuitous bit of timing that nothing else was on TV so I tuned in.
I’m glad I did.

Zoinks, with all of our local schools laying off people left and right because somehow the monies are drying up for our nation’s future, at least our five big networks are faring OK. It’s been reported that they pulled in $9.5 billion in ad revenue for the upfront ad sale commitments.

In the upcoming 2011-12 TV season, there are over 100 projects ordered for your consumption. The five networks noted are ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW.
Yep, now The CW, a part of CBS, is being tossed into the news fray as one of the big five networks. That’s a great testament to perseverance with small but popular TV venues.
On ABC, there’s the Charlies Angels reboot.
