Created by Battlestar Galactica'sRonald D. Moore for the NBC 2011-2012 season, this science fiction/fantasy pilot was not picked up. It has a flavor of Jim Butcher'sThe Dresden Files - and also a flavor of Battlestar Galactica, with so many of that series' cast involved in this project, including Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Caprica'sEsai Morales.
And, as it was partially filmed in Vancouver, BC, Canada, there are some familiar Stargate alums in the cast as well, including Heather Doerksen, Robert Moloney, Don Thompson, Doug Abrahams, and (I think) Allison Hossack.
"Oil, electricity, coal ... the power that drives modern society. But what if science had never been invented? What if we relied on .. magic? What if plants and fire powered our world? And what if the police solved crimes in ways that we can't imagine? This is 17th Precinct."
Which takes place in San Francisco - uh, Excelsior.
Cast includes Tricia Helfer, West Wing's Stockard Channing, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Eamonn Walker, Matt Long, Heather Doerksen, Quinn Lord, Robert Moloney, The Killing's Brandon Jay McLaren and Valin Shinyei.

SANCTUARY - SHOW PATROL: AMANDA TAPPING TEASES SEASON FOUR FINALE - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2011 AT 10/9C ON SYFY
'Sanctuary' wraps Season 4 with 'final reckoning'
By Curt Wagner
December 30, 2011
If you thought Helen Magnus made a shocking play in the first part of the “Sanctuary" Season 4 finale, wait until you see what show does in "Sanctuary for None: Part 2," airing at 9 p.m. Dec. 30 on Syfy.
Star and producer Amanda Tapping said Magnus's latest surprise play is the "final reckoning" for the Sanctuary team.
If you're caught up with events, Will (Robin Dunne) currently is being forced to work with SCIU director Greg Addison (Brian Markinson) while Bigfoot (Christopher Heyerdahl) has decided to remain in the abnormal homeland and team with rebel leader Caleb (guest star Gil Bellows). Henry (Ryan Robbins), Tesla (Jonathon Young) and Kate (Agam Darshi) are sided firmly with Magnus, even though they doubt her move to expose the Sanctuary to the public was wise.
In tonight’s episode, Magnus and Caleb still are struggling to keep the abnormal homeland safe from SCIU and the other human organizations that would see it destroyed. Tapping said it was interesting working with guest star Bellows.
“He is such a Zen and really lovely guy. He is so sweet and he was so happy to be on our set … [but] he plays this dastardly villain you love to hate,” she said. “We’d give each other a hug and then launch into a fistfight, so it was good...”
Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) has an encounter with her original handler, Kieran Ryker (guest star Tim DeKay), and worries that he is going to hurt her mother (guest star Cheryl Ladd) and others close to her. Chuck (Zachary Levi) wants to help her confront a secret from her past, but she feels strongly that she needs to do it alone in the new episode "Chuck Versus the Baby."

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS - BBC AMERICA VIDEO: 20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL - SUNDAY, JANUARY 8, 2012 AT 10/9C
Two decades ago, the brash and hilarious Patsy and Edina first introduced themselves to the world and we've never been quite the same. And if there's one thing the two champagne-swilling divas know best is how to mark a special occasion.
Twenty years ago the world was introduced to Edina, Patsy, Saffron, Bubble and Mother. Since then, it has never been quite the same. As outrageous, scandalous, raucous and fashion-addicted as always, the ladies are back and it’s going to be fabulous darling. In the first of three new episodes written by and starring Jennifer Saunders, with Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha, Jane Horrocks and June Whitfield, there's an awful lot of catching up to do. First of all there’s a homecoming for one of them who’s been ‘away’ for quite some time. She arrives at the Monsoon household with a new - slightly scary - best friend. Her presence could be either a blessing or a disaster, raising questions of identity that could even involve a certain person owning up to her real age ... if she can remember it. Warning: A Royal Wedding is re-enacted by Bubble. The Absolutely Fabulous 20thAnniversary Special premieres Sunday, January 8, 10:00pm ET/PT.
In 2012, BBC America will take you from the other side of the pond to the end of the earth with several brand new series, including "Planet Earth," "The Fades," "No Kitchen Required" and "Richard Hammond's Crash Course." Plus a new season of "Doctor Who!"
