Now that the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics have come to a close, TV audiences can expect a slew of midseason premieres and new episodes of their favorite shows. Here’s a Winter/Spring update on the 2010 TV season’s shows that depict spirituality, family, life, and death.
Scripted Series
“Happy Town”
In this new show in the “Twin Peaks” realm, the small town of Haplin, Minn., is haunted by a series of unsolved abductions with town folk wondering if the “Magic Man” is behind the mystery. The series’ stars include Geoff Stults, Sam Neill, Lauren German, and Steven Weber.
“Happy Town” premieres Wed., Apr. 28 at 10 p.m., EST on ABC
“Miami Medical”
This Jerry Bruckheimer drama follows surgeons in one of the more renown trauma facilities in the U.S. Executive producer Jeffrey Lieber said during the Television Critics Association (TCA) Press Tour that the show is about doctors living in between the life and death moments of their patients, and how they go home after. Jeremy Northam leads the cast.
“Miami Medical” premieres Fri., Apr. 2 at 10 p.m., EST on CBS
“Parenthood”
A re-imagination of the eponymous 1980s film by Ron Howard, the series follows the Braverman family in Berkeley, Calif., as they balance the joys of life with trials and tribulations. The large cast includes Lauren Graham, Craig T. Nelson, Erika Christensen, Dax Shepard, and Peter Krause.
“Parenthood” airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m., EST on NBC
“Spartacus: Blood and Sand”
The series follows the Roman rebel Spartacus as he’s forced to become a gladiator and fight for his life, while also examining the daily existence in the Republic with sensuality, betrayal, and immorality. The show stars Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless, and John Hannah.
“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” airs new episodes Fridays at 10 p.m., EST on Starz
“Treme”
The show gets its name from one of the oldest neighborhoods in New Orleans. Set in fall 2005, three months after Hurricane Katrina and levees breaking, the drama looks at rebuilding efforts and the local Creole, music, and African-American culture. Among the series’ stars are Wendell Pierce, Khandi Alexander, Melissa Leo, John Goodman, and Steve Zahn.
“Treme” premieres in April on HBO
Reality/Docu-Series
“Addicted”
The show features interventionist Kristina Wandzilak as she helps individuals grappling with substance abuse. Each episode will follow an addict and his or her family, as they make a plan to become sober and stay so. During the TCA presentation Wandzilak, a former addict, said that she had a spiritual awakening and is now living a service-focused life.
“Addicted” premieres Wed., March 17 at 10 p.m., EST on TLC
“Life”
From the producers of “Planet Earth,” the show follows a different animal or plant group in each episode. From every continent to every habitat, we will witness never before seen behaviors and the fight for survival. Oprah Winfrey narrates the series.

“Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains”
The latest installment of the Emmy winning reality show brings back memorable “heroes” and “villains” from previous seasons with producers placing the competitors in two respective tribes.

Every one on internet searches for great content. Its very unfortunate with most of the websites published posts that are boring and out of context articles, just to show that new material is being published. Contrary to that immoral practice, this article is a great-written article.

Incredibly useful article. Myself & my neighbor were preparing to do some research about that. We got a wonderful book on that matter from our local library and most books were not as descriptive as your information. I am especially glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.

The core of your writing while appearing reasonable originally, did not sit properly with me personally after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for a short while. I however have got a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one would do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. In the event that you can accomplish that, I will surely end up being impressed.

Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
