NBC Picks Up A Medium Of Their Own

Nashville City Paper has an article on NBC's newest hopeful Medium. The series will star Patricia Arquette as Allison Dubois, the show will debut on Jan 9th at 9PM.

Medium lands in an extremely tough time slot. LAX opened well there, then was quickly obliterated when CSI:Miami (currently either the second or third rated show most weeks) returned. Secondly, given the inferior quality of USA network's The Dead Zone, it remains to be seen how much audience NBC can attract for the program. One plus for the show is its creative team. Glenn Gordon Caron (Moonlighting) and Kelsey Grammer (Frasier are among the executive producers, so hopefully the plots may be a bit better than the usual crime drama fare. Arquette has previously been seen in the films Stigmata and Flirting With Disaster, while Weber recently appeared in U-571. Others in the cast include April Grace, Maria Lark, Miguel Sandoval and Sofia Vassillieva. The program has an initial 13-episode order.
