Fox Renews Touch, Cancels Alcatraz and The Finder; Orders 5 New Series Including Mindy Kaling’s It’S Messy and The Following Starring Kevin Bacon
9 May 2012 8:08 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
On the heels of NBC's busy Monday, Fox is shaking up the schedule in advance of the May 14 upfront presentation: Fox renewed the Kiefer Sutherland drama Touch for a second season, joining Fringe, Bones, Glee, New Girl, and Raising Hope on the safe list. Fellow freshman dramas Alcatraz and The Finder are cancelled, joining ambitious failure Terra Nova and House in the ether. The network picked up three new single-camera comedies (The Goodwin Games, It's Messy, Ben & Kate) and two dramas (The Mob Doctor and The Following). Details after the break. Touch, created by Tim Kring (Heroes), debuted to 12 million viewers and an impressive 3.9 in the 18-49 demo in the high-profile post-American Idol slot. Ratings have flagged since then, down to 7 million (2.0 in the demo) in the last airing. But Fox invested a lot in the drama, and The Live Feed says Touch is doing well internationally. That was »

Fox renews 'Touch,' cancels 'Alcatraz'
9 May 2012 6:40 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
It's been a busy night for the Fox network. In addition to picking up five new series for next season (including a new Mindy Kaling sitcom), multiple published reports (including this one from the Hollywood Reporter) say the network has also decided to renew "Touch" and cancel both "Alcatraz" and "The Finder." All three dramas arrived at Fox this season with impressive pedigrees, either in front of or behind the camera. "Touch" was Kiefer Sutherland's first TV vehicle since the end of "24" and (a bit less impressively) producer Tim Kring's first show since the end of "Heroes." "Alcatraz" was J.J. Abrams' latest sci-fi series, as well as a reunion with »

Fox’s ‘Touch’ Renewed For Second Season
9 May 2012 5:54 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Amidst its slew of new series pickups, I’ve learned that Fox also has renewed midseason drama Touch for a second season. The news comes on the heels of a ratings rebound for Tim Kring’s series starring Kiefer Sutherland following a post-premiere slide. 20th TV and Chernin Entertainment are producing. The jury is still out on fellow freshman drama series The Finder, which had shown some signs of life on Friday, but its chances don’t look good. Update: The Finder is indeed now a goner. Alcatraz is out of the picture, especially after Fox renewed J.J. Abrams’ other bubble drama series, Fringe. It has been a great afternoon for Chernin Entertainment, whose Fox comedy pilot Ben & Kate (formerly Ben Fox Is My Manny) received a series pickup an hour and a half ago. Joining The Finder and Alcatraz on the cancellation pile are comedies Breaking In and I Hate My Teenage Daughter. »

American Dad: 2.8 rating. Status: Renewed.
American Idol: 6.7 Wednesdays, 6.2 rating Thursdays. Status: It’s now a full-on team sport to bag on the aging music competition, but this franchise ain’t going anywhere (yet). The bigger question is how much the judging panel will change next season. »

Kiefer Sutherland's magic Touch will keep me watching regardless
28 March 2012 4:23 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Sky1's new big-budget drama Touch is saved by the imperious Sutherland – so which shows do you watch for one character?
Kiefer Sutherland says he wasn't planning on returning to TV after 24, but changed his mind after reading the script for Touch. Created by Tim Kring, the sci-fi screenwriter who created the initially brilliant Heroes, Touch features plenty of elements familiar to viewers of recent Us paranormal dramas – a borderline autistic child, numbers, the notion that some unseen entity is guiding mankind, 9/11 conspiracy theories, Google Earth-style aerial shots – and a movie-sized production budget that attracted not just Sutherland but also Danny Glover, who appears fleetingly as a cranky eccentric boffin with an addiction to orange fizzy drink.
Sutherland's character Martin Bohm is struggling to fulfil the demands of being a single parent to an 11-year-old mute genius who, according to Glover, sees "cosmic pain that needs to be healed" in »

Touch Adds Maria Bello for Guest Arc
It looks like Touch is getting a little touch...of Maria Bello.
According to Deadline, the Fox drama will be adding the Golden Globe nominee for multiple episodes this season. Should the character work out, and the show get its expected season 2 pickup, there's an option for bringing Bello back into the fold. She's set to play a woman with a daughter that possesses the same gift that Jake has, the ability to predict future events based on numbers.
Before landing on Touch, Maria Bello starred in the short-lived adaptation of Prime Suspect for NBC, which had its final episodes burned off in January. Most known for her feature work in the likes of The Cooler and A History of Violence, she's had roles in ER, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Law & Order: Svu. Aside from Touch, you can next check Bello out »

Xaque Gruber: Wendy & Lisa's Fine 'Touch'

Whether you remember them as the women who played with Prince in The Revolution or as a pop duo or as the Emmy winning composers of Nurse Jackie, Heroes, Crossing Jordan, and now, the new Fox series, Touch, the innovative musical force that is Wendy & Lisa is a hard act to define, and certainly one of the best in the business when it comes to sheer musicianship and experimenting with the new.
Touch, starring Kiefer Sutherland, is the duo's third partnership with television showrunner, Tim Kring.
Coleman says, "Tim tells stories the way that I write music."
Touch Trailer:
Melvoin agrees:
Tim's mind and Lisa's mind are a perfect combination especially for this show. Just the way Lisa plays music in general, with a lot of polyrhythms, harmonic oddness, and different tempos all together, but no matter how crazy it can get, you never lose where home base is. The »

'Touch's' Kiefer Sutherland: Jack Bauer, he's not
22 March 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
As counterterrorist agent Jack Bauer in the hit Fox series "24," Kiefer Sutherland played a man who had to keep his feelings inside in order to save the world. In his new Fox series, "Touch" -- which had a preview on Jan. 25 and has its regular time-slot premiere on Thursday, March 22 -- Sutherland's character, Martin Bohm, is still having a global impact, but his methods couldn't be more different.
Calling in from a location near Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Sutherland says, "Jack Bauer, as a character, is so repressed; that was his job. His job was to be able to pocket his emotions, so he could take on what was seemingly an insurmountable task.
"Martin is almost the opposite, where his emotions are very much out front. He has a very simple desire, which is to develop, as he perceives it, as normal as possible a relationship with his son. »

Stars Break Down 'Touch' By The Numbers
22 March 2012 12:55 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Touch," a supernatural drama starring Kiefer Sutherland, celebrates human interconnectivity, and explores the notion that everyone on Earth is somehow connected.
It's that premise that convinced Sutherland to return to primetime television after eight seasons on "24." "One of the things that I've loved about the show is that we spend a lot of time on the things that divide us and separate us. But this show is all about the things that transcend culture, that transcend ideology and religion and language," Sutherland told HuffPost TV. "I've not heard of or seen a society on this planet that does not value children, that doesn't honor family and their history. Those are common threads throughout different cultures, and we focus on those."
In its premiere episode, which aired as a preview on Fox in February, viewers were introduced to Jacob Bohm (David Mazouz), an 11-year old boy diagnosed with autism. But it »

Review: Return of Kiefer Sutherland's 'Touch' suggests a pattern of cheesiness
21 March 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
When Fox aired the pilot of "Touch" back in January — months ahead of the official season premiere tomorrow night at 9 — I wrote that the episode succeeded at making a lot of tricky ideas work together, but that I feared future episodes might not work as well. The concept — a mute, insular boy has the ability to see patterns in the chaos of everyday life that his father can use to help strangers — seemed too elaborate a Rube Goldberg device to run smoothly every week, particularly since the man at the controls was Tim Kring, who got off to »
