Cable lines

The Sci Fi Channel's new action drama, Painkiller Jane, starring Kristanna Loken, will premiere April 13 after the mid- season returns of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Based on the comic book created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada, Painkiller Jane follows the adventures of Jane Vasco (Loken), a heroine with remarkable self-healing powers. Starz Media is involved in the production.

Chatter

"Every show needs a catchphrase. I thought it would emphasize the moment of embarrassment."

Mike Darnell, Fox reality-show guru, who requires every losing contestant on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? - and so far that's all of them - to face the camera and say, "I'm not smarter than a fifth-grader."

The x-series?

David Duchovny (The X-Files) will return to television in a new Showtime comedy about a self- destructive writer. He'll play Hank, a novelist whose "obsession with truth-telling and self-destructive behavior - drinks, drugs and relationships - are both destroying and enriching his career," the cable network announced. The series will premiere in August, according Showtime Networks Inc., but it doesn't have a name yet.
