I found this blurb in the Summer movie preview section of Entertainment Weekly:
1-800-Missing Lifetime, Premieres Aug. 2, 10PM "I will arrest anyone who tries to get in my way!" snapes FBI agent Brooke Haslett (ER's Gloria Reuben), brooking no sass from twentysomething psychic Jess Mastriani (Caterina Scorsone). Yes, she's that frustrated - but it's understandable. Brooke is a procedural geek with an impressive success rate tracking down dissappeared persons, while Jess' credentials consist solely of being struck by lightning. And - wouldn't you know it? - Brooke's condescending boss wants them to team up. "It's about how much she is willing to believe," Reuben explains, and you can see her dilemma. Not only has Jess been unearthing missing persons like some turbocharged truffle pig, but all the hard work in the world hasn't helped Brooke track down her current abductee - a Washington intern. Like Agent Scully before her, Haslett is eventually won over by her partner's otherwordly methods. "And open-mindedness toward alternative ways to solve problems," Reuben explains, "is a very valid thing in today's world."
Well, that's it. It doesn't sound a thing like the books (Jess is a twentysomething?), and I hate the title. There's also no mention of the books it's based on.

Horsegirl, The bob thing cracked me up. Great stuff y'all. Not really the TV show, but you know what I mean.

I saw ad for it yesterday! OMG, they are changing it so much! The girl who's playing Jess? Yeah, she is like twenty-five, average height, and has shoulder lenght hair! And, she doesn't seem to be as outgoing--or maybe outspoken is the word I'm looking for--anyway she doesn't seem to be much like she is in the books. And they didn't mention Rob! How dare they!

Oooh I'm so annoyed with Lifetime. I don't think Rob will even be in it at all, cuz it sounds like they're trying to focus it around the FBI agent. As you all know, Liftime is supposed to be for those 30-40 something women, so they're gonna want the main character to be the agent. GRRRRR!!!!! That really pisses me off. So we'll probably have no Rob

It's official, books should never be made into TV series.
They're doing the same with the Fearless series on the WB. They're making Gaia 20 something and an FBI agent. And there's no Ed or Sam.
Whats with turning everyone into FBI agents?? It's not even like being an FBI agent is the coolest job in the world. I think being an astronaught would be a million times cooler, or maybe a prima ballerina. Or hey, what about a normal highschool student? Like go with the way the books are written and stop messing around with ta good thing?? Now that's a crazy idea.

PS: did you know that the person supposed to be playing Gaia in "Fearless" is Rachel Leigh Cook? Can you imagine her as a blond, blue eyed fighting machine that speaks 7 differnt languages? i for one certainly cannot...

I know. I did a double take when I read that. Apparently she's a fan of the books. Oh, Ok. I mean, why don't they just get one of the Olsen twins to play her? And the other could play Suze for disney when they make the Mediator into some mindless watered down-bubble gum-suger-pop-make-me-want-to-puke pre-teen show( sorry, thouchy subject ).
