Things can't get much worse for Spencer Griffith (Joseph Mazzello, Jurassic Park); hailed as a dork in school and a dweeb at home, Spencer's only escape is in the comic book adventures of the "Midnight Warrior." But truth turns stranger than fiction when a meteor shower leaves behind a giant 7-foot tall warrior called "Cy," with super powers and a mind of its own! Spencer's social stock suddenly begins to rise. When a roving pack of intergalactic bounty hunters come gunning for Cy, it becomes the ultimate test of bravery as the giant and Spencer combine forces to save themselves- and the planet- in this spaced-out adventure the whole family will love. watch

It repeats on Feb. 25 and a second episode airs on Mar. 4, before FNC decides whether to make a weekly series. The show was developed by Joel Surnow, cocreator and executive producer of 24 and a self-described "right-wing nut job." The Biz talked to him and his fellow 24 executive producer Manny Coto about their new project and the recent heat over Jack Bauer's torture methods.read more
