ABC has scheduled Masters of Science Fiction for Saturdays at 10:00 ET beginning August 4. Six episodes were produced but apparently ABC is showing only four of them. Hopefully, the other episodes will be online. The series host is Professor Stephen Hawking. It looks like the show has good production values.

This is an anthology series based on well known SF short stories.

Talented (and uniquely pretty) Judy Davis is in it, eh?

I hope there isn't any time travel or especially multiple universes in it. Getting very tired of those silly bits.
And as for any aliens, I hate grays!

This is an anthology. These are standalone episodes. She’s in at least one of them.

Don’t hate the grays, worship them.

Looks promising.
At least I don’t see any car crashes that the hero walks away from unscathed.

I’ve heard it will be a lot like the original Twilight Zone (good cinematography, few special effects, excellent stories). They don’t make them like that anymore.

Ellison and Heinlein, in the first few episodes... Could be a real winner, quality wise, which means that the network will cancel it pretty quickly.
Anybody remember Firefly?

The ABC network is showing only 4 of the 6 episodes, so they’ve effectively canceled it already. It will most likely end up on Sci-Fi, Showtime, etc, where we can see all the episodes, and possibly some new ones.
To: EveningStar; All
To be honest I prefer that the show is on Sci-Fi rather than ABC...

However, with the current leadership at SciFi this show will only be shown for 4 episodes and never seen again..
