... Terra Nova
8-10PMFOX, SERIES DEBUT
The Future: Earth is a burned-out smogopolis choking to death from environmental decay, and the only hope for mankind lies 85 million years in the past.
Life on Mars' Jason O'Mara and British actress Shelley Conn play struggling spouses looking for a fresh start with their three kids by quantum-leaping to an Eden-esque military-managed settlement (Avatar grouch Stephen Lang is the head honcho) terrorized by man-munching dinosaurs and rebels with a cryptic agenda.
Terra Nova arrives after nearly a year's delay and much tinkering — apparently it ain't easy to make a Jurassic Park-style spectacle on a TV scale. But the unabashed ambition demands attention, and the stable of sci-fi-savvy producers (including Steven Spielberg) inspires hope. Besides, you can't have fun cracking wise about potentially cheesy dino CGI if you don't watch!
