The networks have announced there upcoming shows at the recent Television Critics Press Tour, and the SciFi Channel is no different. There's a few science fiction programs I dig, but not enough to really call myself a science fiction fan. However, one show did jump out at me, and that's Witch Doctor, mostly because it was created by Ben Edlund, creator of The Tick. Defined as a "dramedy," the show will focus on David, a sick man who finds normal Western medicine cannot cure him. This leads him to a supernatural doctor and "the supernatural world that exists unseen all around us." David ends up with those same powers and takes over the magical clinic. Given Edlund's contributions to shows like Angel and Venture Bros., this could be pretty cool.Witch Doctor coming to SciFi

Sounds pretty darn cool-- Edlund's got some serious skills as a creator and I'm eager to see what he launches.

Great. The name will cause confusion from casual and potential SciFi Channel viewers when they mix up *Witch Doctor* with *Doctor Who*.
