You should bold the entries for the 300. While it's based on history the film adds fantasy elements to the story so it basically falls into the genre of historical fantasy.

Thanks for adding that, I wanted to say that as well but I had no time to make a post for I had to go to work.

Termninator might be interesting, we'll see where it goes

Bad news for BSG fans, SEason 4 is it's last. Eddie Olmos stated as much in an interview with scifi.com

"ER" star Cardellini in "Heaven" - Yahoo! News

NBC picks up four dramas; "Friday" back - Yahoo! News - mentions Bionic Woman and Journeyman

Also, there are several positive mentions over at tvguide.com about the new series Pushing Daisies that will air on ABC in the Fall. Here's an excerpt from Matt Roush's dispatch:
Quote:
A wild pop-colored blend of comedy, fantasy and mystery, it's about a young man (the charming Lee Pace) whose touch can bring the dead back to life, and back to death just as quickly. What he does with this gift, and how it changes his life and those around him, is the gist of this series, which plays like the best Tim Burton fairy-tale fable ever.

Have you read their excuses, ahem, reasons for why some movies and television shows were not on the list? A couple of reasons were okay (i.e. Buffy is Fantasy not Sci Fi), but most of the others were pretty lame.
