Another show worth watching is The Dead Zone, on USA network. Based on the Steven King story (and movie starring Christopher Walken), this TV series stars Anthony Michael Hall as Johnny Smith, the main character. Johnny was in a coma for several years and woke up with the ability to see the future (and alternate versions of it) by touching any thing or person.
They have come up with some really creative ways for Johnny to see his visions. Once he received a blood transfusion and saw possible futures for his donors.
The main plot of the original story, that Johnny sees a presidential candidate starting a world war, is a sub-plot that resurfaces every once in a while. They started to go overboard on this last season, and this time they've back off a bit. That's a good thing since some of the best episodes are when Jonny gets stuck in humorous situations like playing match-maker or temporary daddy.
Lately USA has been running a really funny ad campaign where Johnny touches his cat and sees how it goes through some of its nine lives.
