The Lost Room: The Key and the Clock (series premiere)
(S01E01) I know I've already given my thoughts on this show when I posted my 'early look' post last month, so I don't want to get too repetitive. The first thing I want to point out again is that this show is being shown as a one-shot deal, meaning it's showing more like a mini-series, one that will have a resolution at its end, not to return for another season.

Julianna Margulies continues odd career with Sci Fi Channel miniseries
Julianna Margulies' post-ER career has been eclectic, to say the least.

Peter Krause signs on to SciFi mini-series

The series is called The Lost Room, about a motel room that contains mysterious power and all the objects in the room are charmed.
