New Amsterdam

There’s going to be a new show called New Amsterdam. It sounded like Highlander though. The lead is an immortal homicide detective. It looks interesting. I’m gonna check it out once it airs. Pilot episode will air on March 4, 2008.

New Amsterdam

Here is a summary from TV.com

New York City homicide detective John Amsterdam is cursed with immortality because he stopped the murder of a Native Indian girl in 1642 by stepping in front of a sword. Due to this act of kindness, the Indian girl rescued Amsterdam from the stab wound by making him immortal, but warns that it is a curse that will only be lifted when John meets his true love.
Now, Amsterdam is a homicide detective in the Big Apple where he shares his secret with Omar, a blues club owner with a few secrets of his own. John is partnered up with Eva Marquez and gets into a chase with a suspect. When he suffers what appears to be a heart attack and is revived by ER doctor Sara Dillane, he realizes that mortality may be closer then he thought.
New Amsterdam is produced by Laha Films, Regency Television, Sarabande Productions and Scarlet Fire Productions. FOX originally planned to premiere it in September ‘07; however, it will now be a midseason replacement.

Hiya Ivy!

I noticed your blog post come up in Google Alerts today and thought I’d drop you a line to let you know about a fan site for the show at http://newamsterdam-forever.com just in case you might be interested. Content is a bit lite given the show hasn’t aired yet but new material is added constantly.

Thanks,
John
