Wagging sci-fi tales
ABC gives anthology series greenlight
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

ABC has greenlit the anthology series "Masters of Science Fiction,"
which will present works of well-known authors such as Ray Bradbury
and Isaac Asimov.

IDT Entertainment and tIndustry Entertainment, which produced the
13-episode anthology "Masters of Horror" for Showtime, are behind the
science fiction version as well. Alphabet web has ordered four
episodes, but IDT and Industry plan to go ahead and produce at least
six segs, and as many as 13.

The broadcast nets don't exactly have a great track record with
sci-fi/fantasy shows, "Lost" and "The X Files" notwithstanding. I'm
not going to hold my breath that this one will succeed. And I've seen
almost every episode of "Masters of Horror", and I think it's mainly a
big disappointment.
