Paramount has sold the NBC paranormal series Medium to the BBC, which has U.K. terrestrial rights, Variety reported. The network picked up the series, which stars Patricia Arquette, despite a government warning not to buy U.S. content unless it serves a "public purpose," the trade paper reported.
It's the first time the BBC has bought a U.S. series for its main terrestrial network, BBC1, since Band Of Brothers in 2001. Medium is likely to air in a post-10:30 p.m. weekday slot, starting this summer.
NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
So Paramount does sell series after all. That's all I'll say about that.
I like Medium. It's a nice show. Not complicated and very watchable. I'd really like to see what would happen if some person found out about her talent and had her studied. Possibly an explanation of how she's able to do this and if anyone else like her is around. All of the episodes are nice and sweet. I'd like to see things shaken up for her a bit. This show has potential like that but of course Paramount can't have shows like this around.
On another note:
a government warning not to buy U.S. content unless it serves a "public purpose,"
What is that about?
