DON FRANKLIN RETURNS TO WEEKLY TELEVISION

Don Franklin returns to weekly television this fall in a sci-fi/drama series called SEVEN DAYS. This series, premiering on October 7, 1998 on the UPN Network (8-9pm Eastern or check local listings) is described as a cross between Quantum Leap and a Tom Clancy novel. The series revolves around an ex-CIA agent who travels back in time, thanks to some alien technology, to prevent various catastrophes and calamities. The catch is that the hero, played by Jonathan LaPaglia can only travel back in time seven days from the present day.

Don Franklin is a part of the supporting cast which also includes multiple award winner Norman Lloyd (St. Elsewhere). It is not yet known by this reporter what Don's part will be in this series.

TV GUIDE magazine picks this series as one of it's "Fall Preview Favorites."

NEW SERIES FOR BRETT CULLEN

Starting October 9 on the UPN network at 8-9pm (check local listings) Brett Cullen returns to series television in LEGACY, playing the father of a wealthy Irish family of horse farmers in post-Civil War Kentucky.

Reviewers call the show a predictable but heart-warming entry in a familiar genre. This program is brought to the small screen by some of the same people as the now canceled Dr... Quinn, Medicine Woman.
