[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MARCH 16, 2006 -

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Midway through NBC's pre-upfront meeting with advertisers today, entertainment president Kevin Reilly announced the network had given early orders to two new dramas: Kidnapped and The Black Donnellys.

Kidnapped stars Dana Delany and Timothy Hutton as a wealthy New York couple whose son is abducted. Like single-story line series such as 24 and Prison Break, the NBC drama revolves around that abduction for the run of the program, focusing on the family, the FBI agents trailing the abduction, and the kidnappers themselves.

The Black Donnellys is from the creative team behind Oscar-winning film Crash: Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco. The series is about four Irish-American brothers who enter a life of crime on the mean streets of Manhattan.

Both series were given 13 episode orders[/FONT]

they should not do shows like kidnapped unless they are committed to finishing the story. it pissed me off when reunion was cancelled half way through. no one can pick the rest up because the show were never done.
