Not surprisingly, Jerry Bruckheimer’s Eleventh Hour, on CBS, will be the guiltiest pleasure of the fall TV season. The remake of a stodgy British show, about a scientist who goes around investigating “the worst abuses of science” with his female bodyguard, will replace Patrick Stewart with Rufus Sewell (Dark City). And the sexy ass-kicking bodyguard will be played by Marley Shelton (Grindhouse.) It sounds cheese-tastic, and really the only question is how quickly the “abuses of science” will turn into crazy mutants and exploding laboratories. Good times.
