Hugh Dillon's new series picked up by Ion

Oooh, something to look forward to. First, FLASHPOINT's second season debuts this coming Friday - okay, it's against Stargate Atlantis but that's what the VCR is for (Flashpoint, that is. DVR is for SGA!). But just read at TVWeek.com that Hugh Dillon's Global series Durham County has been picked up by ION Television. The article said “Durham County” is produced by Back Alley Films and Muse Entertainment. It stars “Flashpoint’s” Hugh Dillon as a homicide detective. “‘Durham County’ brings award-winning suspense, storytelling and casting to Ion’s first foray into 2009 original programming,” Brandon Burgess, chairman and CEO of Ion Media Networks, said in a statement. “With eerie crime storylines, ‘Durham County,’ along with the CBS hit show ‘Criminal Minds,’ will offer 'Positively Thrilling' primetime appointment viewing on Ion Television.”

Cool.

As soon as the review said "Shades of Third Watch" it lost me. That would be why I watch Law & Order - no personal stuff :D (They're flogging the ads for Flashpoint on Australian TV right now so I'll get a lookie very soon.

That's really cool news.

Ion's been acquiring a lot of interesting rerun stuff recently. Even though it's repeats, it's shows I like, so it's all good. ;)

I read a pretty favorable review of that show somewhere a few weeks ago, so I am going to give it a look. I like personal stuff if it's done well, like the Inspector Lynley mysteries.

As soon as I got ION they yanked several good shows (guess they'd been running a while). At least this time I'll be able to catch it from the beginning.

The dinosaur equivalent of the DVR ;)
