Fans are campaigning for Pushing Daisies with daisies.

Fox will premiere Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse February 13, 2009, and will continue at Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT -what’s been called the “death slot”- following Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Reiko Aylesworth is in negotiations for, at least, four episodes in the next season of Lost. The recurring role is for “Amy, a smart and successful professional woman with a love for the outdoors who is looking for the right man.” [E: Quite possibly the most personals sounding character description ever]

In retooling the show, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Yancey Arias, and Bruce Davison will not be returning to Knight Rider. Says show runner Gary Scott Thompson, "It's a reboot. We're moving away from the terrorist-of-the-week formula and closer to the original, making it a show about a man and his car going out and helping more regular people, everymen."

Fox TV, CTV, ProSieben, and BBC will team up for 13 episode science fiction drama Defying Gravity. From James Parriott and Michael Edelstein, it’s “set in the near future and revolves around eight astronauts from five countries who take on a mysterious six-year mission through the solar system.” Ron Livingston and Florentine Lahme have been cast, and David Straiton will direct the first episode. Filming starts January in Canada.

A&E is developing paranormal procedural drama Signs & Wonders. Produced by Jed Mercurio, Mandalay Television, and Fox TV, “Signs & Wonders tracks a psychiatrist who runs the cognitive sciences research department at a prestigious university and leads a team of grad students in solving suspicious medical cases.”

CW and Warner Brothers TV have already axed Robin/Dick Grayson pre-Batman pilot The Graysons. Warner Brothers Pictures Group president Jeff Robinov, after initially green-lighting the project, has changed his mind. [E: Darn, I was hoping for another Birds of Prey *rawr*.]

“Keep an eye out for ‘BSG: Essential Elements,’ a half-hour special on Sunday, January 11 at 11:00/10:00c. And if that wasn't enough ‘Galactica,’ it's understood the latest wave of webisodes for the series will be broadcast during the network's January 15 presentation of ‘Pitch Black.’"

SciFi’s Warehouse 13 has hired executive producers Jack Kenny, David Simkins, and Dana Baratta, supervising producer Drew Greenberg, co-producers Matt Federman and Stephen Scaia, and staff writers Bob Goodman, Tamara Becher, Ben Raab, and Deric Hughes. Production is set to begin February in Toronto, with a July 2009 premiere.
