NBC on Monday unveiled a fall lineup heavy on the supernatural, but light on comedy.

Heroes, about a supernaturally endowed group of fighters, all with different powers, is the biggest hit among NBC’s new programs this year, and the fall will bring a spinoff show and three other series involving the supernatural:

* Heroes: Origins: This show, featuring a new heroic character each week, will stretch the season for Heroes.
* Bionic Woman: A remake of the 1970s show, with Michelle Ryan in the lead role.
* Journeyman: A series about a San Francisco newspaperman who travels through time to alter people’s lives.
* Chuck: a computer geek has spy secrets embedded in his brain and is forced to become a government agent.

I was glad to hear that The Medium is still on the air, although it’s slated for Sunday nights. This may or may not be a bad thing, depending on the football schedule and when the new season of Battlestar Galactica begins. I’m looking forward to watching Heroes, but will have to check the availability of the DVD for the last season so I can catch up.
