Anyone gonna watch? i definately am...ive been waiting for it to hit our shores for months. it stars Buffy's Eliza Dushku and starts on June 11, 9:30pm on channel 7. although im still disappointed that Eliza didn't choose to do the Buffy spin-off. it would've been an excellent show, even surpassing Buffy i'd imagine.

its about a girl named TRU DAVIES (eliza dushku) who can change the future.

she's a med student who works at a morgue and has dreams/ premonitions about how those people died and goes about trying to save them...

Its a supernatural drama about college graduate Tru Davies (Dushku) who works the graveyard shift at the city morgue after her medical internship falls through. She can hear the voices of dead people and finds herself reliving the days in which her cadavers died.

Sounds interesting, but this concept aint that original.

i is gunna check it out. Ive heard some bad things though.

heres a proper show description ;)

Tru Davies (Eliza Dushku, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) has just graduated from New York University and is planning on going to medical school. After her internship at a hospital falls through, she has to take a job at a morgue as an attendant working the graveyard shift. On her first night on the job, she hears the voice of a murdered woman, and the next day she awakes to re-live that same day. She tries to prevent the woman from being murdered while trying to fix other problems in her life.


yeah... anyway If u didnt know already Tru Calling, in america, has been picked up for a second season, so thats good news for us too, even though we havent seen any of them yet!

I definately wouldve preferred faith joining the cast of Angel instead of this new show, in my opinion she "fits" better on Angel with the whole redemption thing.

Check it out! or at least tape it if your going out. ;)

oh i realllly doubt it would surpass buffy, faith is cool but she's not THAT good... i wish she'd been on angel before the end though :x
i've heard a couple of bad things about this, but i'm going to check it out regardless

of course it would. Faith rocks. she practically stole the show away from Buffy in season 3. i was a bit apprehensive when i first heard about the Angel spin-off and look at how well it turned out. season 4 was even better than buffy's final season. its ashame it got cancelled and its not because of low ratings, but because the WB is stupid. Angel's got a huge following, how can they be so blind? anyways, you can always trust that Joss Whedon will make a potentially great show out of Faith and im sure her show will be better than BTVS cos you know, she is generally more popular with the fans.

And Buffy is not a low budget series. it initially started out that way but since season 3, they got a bigger budget. have look at seasons 5-7, you can tell the show has advanced in the special effects department :D

it was thoroughly enjoyable, but i wonder how long they will keep up with a story like this. Early Edition got old rather quickly. it wouldve been better if she was still in college and they shouldve shown more A.J. Cook. hey i just realised both Eliza and A.J. Cook were previously in teen horror flicks (Wrong Turn/Soul Survivors & Final Destination) and now theyve made the change to tv.

channel 7 better not push it back to a later timeslot
