Tru Davies, a medical grad student in Boston whose grant is suddenly pulled out from under her, takes a job at a local morgue. There, she discovers that she has the power to "re-live" the previous day over again to help the people who wrongly ended up dead. She uses this gift not only to save lives, but to help her trouble-plagued family - her older sister Meredith, a lawyer and drug addict in denial; and her younger, irresponsible, slacker, gambling brother Harrison.

The Perfect Storm

Thu, Mar 31, 2005

Tru has a hellish first day as free med school student, being embarrassed by Professor Seidel, while Davis fears he'll loose his job after the office's regular psychological assessor is replaced by Dr. Carrie Allen, brother Harrison 'Harry' Davies refuses a job offer from dad Richard but is about to lose his present one as delivery driver when his truck is stolen, and it ends when Metro Police harbor cop Kate Wilson asks her help on the morgue slab, but worst of all Jack Harper is back after months, and takes orders from no lesser then dad Davies. It looks like Jack is not one step ahead -like smart helpful Davis, who accidentally saves himself- but two at every count, he even warns the students whose boat will capsize in a white squall not to believe Tru and first has Kate 'rescue' him so he can thank her by a lunch date... Harry finds the hidden perils in his job, and makes a radical decision...

Eliza Dushku on Her Steamy White Collar Guest Spot: "I Wanted a Mr. & Mrs. Smith Vibe"

Long before he made fedoras and police anklets stylish on White Collar, Matt Bomer romanced Eliza Dushku on the Fox sci-fi series Tru Calling. But when White Collar creator and executive producer Jeff Eastin came calling for her to guest-star on the USA series, Dushku knew she wanted to channel another, very famous, on-screen couple for their reunion. "I wanted a Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibe," Dushku tells TVGuide.com. "[I said] I'd love to come and be on it, but only if it's something that's really special and only if Raquel and Neal really have a Mr. & Mrs. Smith dance going on. It could be sexual at times, it could be violent and scary at times, but as long as it's intense, and he really responded to that." Eliza Dushku to stir things up on White Collar Judging from the previews for Tuesday's episode, airing at 9/8c on USA, the message was definitely received...

Eliza Dushku Lures Joss Whedon Back to TV!

Short of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion movie, this is just about the best news you could ask for: Eliza Dushku and Joss Whedon are reteaming for a new series! (Told ya it would be worth tearing yourself away from the candy corn to drop by The Ausiello Report.) Here are the five things you have to know about the show, and I mean now:1. It's a one-hour drama produced by Twentieth Century Fox to air on Fox. The first of the seven episodes to which the network has committed could premiere as early as spring. 2. It's called Dollhouse because that's the nickname of the high-tech lab where a group of human chalkboards are kept between assignments.3. Human chalkboards?! Yes! What else would you call characters like Dushku's Echo who can be given new memories, skills and even personalities, then stripped of them just as quickly, leaving them virtual children?4. Whedon is the creator, head writer and executive producer, and perhaps in part because Dushku convinced him to do the show, she...
