So I've been watching this new FOX drama called "NEW AMSTERDAM"... It's got a weird premise (an NYPD detective is immortal and he's lived in New York since the 1640s) and it has some flaws... but it's actually not half bad.

The creators seem to have ripped off some aspects of "HIGHLANDER" but still, I give it a solid 6.5-7 at least.

Thing is, I'm not hopeful it will last. FOX gave it a few post "AMERICAN IDOL" airings but has since lost a lot of that audience. Reports say it's only a "maybe" to return next season.

Meantime HULU.COM and FOX ON DEMAND have the first four episodes.

It's a good show and it's loosely based on one of my favorite recent books, "Forever" by Pete Hamill. I hope that it does come back next season.

I am a producer for MyFoxNY.com. I've worked at WNYW-TV/Fox 5 since late 2001, and I love being a part of the Fox family. Besides writing and producing for Fox 5, I've written articles for newspapers, magazines, and Web sites. I'm an alumnus of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and I've taught journalism at CUNY's Queens College in Flushing. On a personal note, I enjoy walking around the city, driving through interesting and unfamiliar neighborhoods, watching baseball, TV shows, movies, reading, creative writing, and spending time with my friends, family, and pets. I'm also an auxiliary police officer with the New York Police Department and a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. I'm not a native New Yorker, but I've lived here most of my life and every day I'm reminded why I love this city so much. So I'm not likely to ever leave.
