Samurai Girl
Reuters: ABC Family picks up "Samurai Girl"
ABC Family has picked up "Samurai Girl," which the cable network plans to air as a "major programming event" consisting of three two-hour episodes. "Samurai," from ABC Studios, is set to start production in the spring in Vancouver and is slated to air over one weekend in August 2008. "Samurai," based on a series of popular young-adult novels, centers on a 19-year-old Japanese girl named Heaven (Jamie Chung) who discovers that the wealthy businessman who adopted her as an infant is really the head of the Yakuza (the Japanese mafia) and had her beloved brother brutally murdered. She breaks from her family and begins training to become a samurai, and with the help of a group of new American friends, sets out to take down her father's evil empire. |

Sounds like someone decided to break out with the unused A-Team plotlines.

They already lined up Bai ling, Zhang Ziyi, and Michelle Yeoh to play Japanese women. Uncle Benny from Lethal Weapon 4 will be the yakuza oyabun. George Takei will play a Filipino Restaurant owner. |

In 1972 a SAMURAI unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These GIRLS promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the .... SAMURAI GIRL ?

They definitely need to work the guy who plays Ando from 'Heroes' in there too.. he's Korean and doesn't speak Japanese at all - apparently learns all his dialogue phonetically.

Each episode should have at least one allusion to George Takai being the first gay person of Japanese descent "to boldly go where no man has gone before."

Yup. That's why Kirk was always asking Sulu for warp factor ten.
