Just thought I'd list the shows (at least some of them) TAN will be definitly airing with their descpriptions: (and I know you know what some of these series are)

Burn-Up W: Team Warrior is no laughing matter for the criminals of Neo-Tokyo. Led by the fearless Rio, this top-secret counter-terrorist force will stop at nothing to preserve the peace, or at least their version of it. From assault by bungee jump to giant mecha destruction, Rio, Yugi, Maki, and Lilica spare no extreme in the forging of their own brand of justice. Plagued by kidnapped virtual idols, financial woes and marginally restrained violent proclivities, the members of Team Warrior skate the edge of comic insanity to bring you Burn-Up W.

Dai-Guard: Twelve years ago, the Earth was attacked by giant invaders. To defend our planet, the Earth�s greatest minds and corporations assembled to design a giant robot of incredible power. Unfortunately, as with most government projects, the contract went to the lowest bidder. Fortunately, by the time the robot was ready, the mysterious invaders had already disappeared without a trace. The giant robot became first a curiosity, then a tourist attraction. But now the invaders are back and the only thing in their way is Dai-Guard and a young team of office workers who�ve been supplementing their regular incomes as part time pilots and tour guides. Can these reluctant heroes halt their alien foes while simultaneously concealing the defects in their giant robot? Find out in the first spectacular volume of DAI-GUARD! Includes 5 Earth-Shattering Episodes!

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The year is 2015. As the remnants of the human race cower in subterranean cities, a deadly war is being waged for what is left of the planet.

Piloted by a special team of young warriors, these giant bio-mechanical humanoids are the only thing that can withstand the force of the Angels� defense fields long enough for the pilots to tackle the massive invaders in brutal hand-to-hand combat! At the same time, NERV struggles to pierce the veil of mystery surrounding the enigmatic Angles. High-tech action, blistering battle sequences, soul ripping drama and spectacular visuals are seamlessly merged in the stunning animated series that ventures beyond the boundaries of space opera and questions the very nature of what it is to be human!

Helmer Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity") is moving aggressively into television production, setting up seven series projects with partner David Bartis via their Hypnotic shingle. The projects include a new spin on the 1970s action classic "CHiPs" for NBC.

Liman has set aside time this spring to direct at least one of the projects, depending on which of the scripts gets greenlit to pilot.

Liman and former NBC Studios topper Bartis formed Hypnotic about two years ago, quickly establishing it as a leading distributor of short films while also forming partnerships with advertisers for branded concepts including the Chrysler Million Dollar Film Festival.

Now, the duo aim to use their relationships with young indie filmmakers and scribes -- as well as years of Hollywood collateral built up via Liman's work on pics such as "Bourne," "Go" and "Swingers" and Bartis' role in developing skeins such as "Will & Grace"-- to establish a small-screen presence.

"One of the foundations of this company has been to discover new talent and help that talent do their first great work," Bartis told Daily Variety.

Liman said he has "really committed" himself to working almost exclusively on TV projects this year, in part because of his desire to oversee projects that more accurately reflect the pop culture mood of the moment.

"Movies take so long to produce and the world can change while you're making them," he said. "TV can be so much more responsive to the zeitgeist and the world."

While CAA-repped Hypnotic is working with more established scribes such as "Fastlane" consulting producer Matthew Carnahan, Bartis said the shingle hopes to bring much-needed originality to network TV by seeking out tyro talent.

"It's so much more gratifying to do a project with someone who's interested in doing the work for the work's sake rather than trying to squeeze you in between rewrites (of feature projects)," he said.

Added Liman: "They bring a freshness that's harder for someone who's churning out product to achieve."

Bartis and Liman cite scribe Dan Loflin as an example. He's scripting "Delusions," an hourlong FX drama project to be produced by Warner Bros. TV in association with Hypnotic and exec producer Lowell Mate that's based on characters drawn from a short film Loflin produced.

Skein will revolve around a man who realizes he's become the world's biggest jerk. He decides to quit his Gotham gig and move home to Alabama to figure out where he went wrong.

"You could only do a show like this by finding a filmmaker from the South without (much Hollywood experience)," Liman opined.

That said, Bartis and Liman explained that Hypnotic will seek a balance of projects, mixing experimental scribes and ideas with more conventional concepts.

"We don't want to put all our eggs in one basket.," Bartis explained.

To that end, WBTV has brought in Hypnotic to work on its remake of "CHiPs" for NBC.

In an unusual move, two scripts are being developed for the project: one by scribe Natalie Chaidez ("Thieves," "New York Undercover"), another by the writing team of Martin Kunert and Eric Manes (MTV's "Fear"). Rick Rosner, who guided the original series, is on board as exec producer.

"The way (WBTV chief) Peter Roth pitched it to us, the goal is to find a way to honor the quiet heroes (of the California Highway Patrol) without getting heavy-handed," Liman said, noting the new show will be set in San Francisco. "At the end of the day, it's still a show about guys who ride extremely fast motorcycles for a living."

Other projects on Hypnotic's first development slate include the following:

"Seattle Rescue," an action-adventure drama from scribe Jorge Zamacona ("Third Watch," "Homicide: Life on the Street"), concerns young, volunteer rescue workers. Spelling Television is producing for UPN.
"It's an attempt to capture the adrenaline and fun of being in your 20s and working in the mountains or rivers," Liman said.

An untitled Las Vegas-based drama for Fox from scribe Mike Armstrong ("Watching Ellie") revolves around a Sin City family dynasty.
"We want to capture the young Vegas of today," Bartis said. "The show's about a family with the sex appeal of Steve Wynn and the interpersonal dynamics of the Binions."

Fox TV Studios is producing.

Michael Duggan ("Millenium," "Secret Agent Man") is penning a drama about young assistant U.S. Attorneys in New York City. It'll be produced via Touchstone and Hypnotic for ABC.

For its lone comedy project, Hypnotic has pacted with Michael Curtis ("Friends") to write a half-hour for UPN about "smart people who do dumb things," Bartis said.

Project will look at the "time in your life when relationships with your friends are more important than what you have to do in your jobs," Bartis added. No studio is attached yet.

In news that will give even your Granny confidence, Steven Spielberg has confirmed that Sir Sean Connery will reprise his role as Jones Sr in the next instalment of Indy's adventures.

Upping the average age of the cast by a couple of decades while injecting his inimitable class and charisma, the least 72-year-old Connery will do is make Harrison Ford look a little more sprightly. Faced with Indy's daily trials of an outsized polystyrene ball, a Nazi thug half his age and a lovely leading lady to cop off with, at 60 years strong Ford will certainly have his work cut out.

And if evil Nazi henchmen and age-old curses weren't enough, Indy's going to have to cope with a phalanx of ex's too, if Spielberg's other comments to the Chicago Sun Times were anything to go by. The bookish lothario will be faced with the ghosts of girlfriends past as his former lovers, including Marion from the original Raiders of the Lost Ark, pop up in the new film. Spielberg commented "I'd like to get Karen Allen back for one soundbite and there are other Indy girls who had smaller roles who will come back." But what about Mrs Spielberg herself? Kate Capshaw aka Willie Scott from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom may not be returning in front of her hubbie's camera. Spielberg explained, "Frank Darabont, who is writing the script, called me and said, 'I'm not sure we can work her into the script too'".

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mickey Mouse and Kermit the Frog could soon be new best friends.
Walt Disney Co. is preparing to offer about $135 million for Jim Henson Co., a bid that likely would position it to win the assets of the renowned Muppet maker more than a decade after it walked away from the chance, according to people familiar with the situation.

Although Disney's bid would be a steep discount from the $680 million German children's programming giant EM.TV paid for Henson in March 2000, it is still far too rich a price, people familiar with Henson's assets said. They put the value at no more than $80 million.

Four other suitors also are considering bids for the creators of such famed puppet characters as Miss Piggy and Big Bird, but none is likely to pay as much as Burbank, California-based Disney, sources say.
