Well. Guess there was no photoshoot for Gale & Co. after all.

Vanished is spotlighted, but it's down in the corner, quotes no one but Berman on Eddie, and uses a photo from FOX's old hotel promo shoot. At least the photo includes Gale.

The Buzz: "This kidnapping is part of a larger conspiracy," says creator Josh Berman (CSI). Soon Invasion's Eddie Cibrian will join the cast as a supervising FBI agent. "He's strong, passionate and driven," Berman says, "without the baggage that Kelton carries."

We Say: Though the mystery is intriguing enough, it takes a touch of genius to attain the propulsion of similar shows, like 24.

The Outlook: With Prison Break as a lead-in, Vanished shouldn't be banished too soon.

Lukewarm hope is better than outright dissing it, so that's something. And, well, thank god Eddie's character has no baggage. You know how we viewers just hate a multi-layered character. :|

The second scan is a recap of the show so far to help newbies catch up, the third is the show making it to the Hot List. Oh, and I didn't scan it, as it was just a small box of text, but Matt Roush comments on Monday's lineup with Vanished and CW's Runaway, "THE BIG BATTLE: As two new serialized thrillers go head-to-head, the odds favor Fox's Vanished, which unearths a deadly conspiracy after a senator's wife disappears." And for what it's worth, they don't think Kidnapped will last.

Also, I am v. v. v. v. excited about Studio 60. And Heroes. And The Nine and Ugly Betty and Brothers & Sisters. Cos, y'know, I do not watch enough TV aldkj. HURRY UP, FALL SEASON.
