By The Associated Press


Yes, there is life for scripted network television series in the
summer, or at least one filmed in Canada (and also airing there).

CBS' "Flashpoint" tracks strategic response unit officers in Toronto
whose typical workday might include rescuing hostages, busting up
gangs, defusing bombs and scaling tall buildings at a single bound
and rescuing suicidal teenagers.

They're master negotiators, to boot.

The show, starring Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars,Just Shoot Me) and
Amy Jo Johnson (Pink Ranger on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,
Felicity, Without Limits, Sweetwater: A True Rock Story), debuts 10
p.m. EDT Friday, July 11.

The movie represents a homecoming and more for Colantoni, who hails
from Toronto and whose brother retired from the city's real-life task
force as a sergeant detective after three decades.
