AMC has realized that six months between seasons is a bit too much for fans, so they're throwing-out these teasers...

Wednesday, 7/9

Extant; CBS. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
An infertile astronaut spends 13 months alone on a space station and returns-- pregnant. She doesn't know how that could be -- but it's entirely possible her government does.
Pretty intriguing, right?
If not: let's sweeten the pot by telling you the astronaut is played by Halle Berry...
...And the series is produced and overseen by Steven Spielberg...


The Bridge; FX. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Last season never hooked me-- even with the fine performances by the cast-- but I'll give the first few eps of this one a shot before I make myself decide to bail or not.
