It might have been an all-but foregone conclusion, but it’s still good to bring word that Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (or, as we’ll all be referring to it to save time, S.H.I.E.L.D.) has handily scored a place on the ABC network’s schedule across the pond. Now the first teaser footage of the show is online.
Featuring Clark Gregg as the myseriously re-incarnated Agent Phil Coulson, the show will follow small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius biochemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
From the looks of the footage, we’re promised plenty of action and the usual level of Joss Whedon quippery, even if the budget doesn’t quite stretch to Avengers-level super heroism. And though Whedon himself won’t be writing and directing every episode (he is, as we know, a tad busy consulting on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and preparing Avengers 2), there’s a more than capable team of Whedon veterans on the ground including brother Jed and sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen, plus Jeffrey Bell and Jeph Loeb.
The series order might have been more of a “well, obviously” than a “could it happen?” but now we have to see if the Whedon/Marvel love can sustain it. After all, even Joss himself has had trouble keeping shows on the air before… Yet we remain confident. As to when it’ll make it over to our shores? There’s no UK broadcaster yet, but we doubt if that will take long. And remember, kids: don't touch Lola.

Well Joss Whedon does have good telly standing with Buffy. Weird how Firefly was canned early though...
Think your loins have clouded your judgement on Buffy.Maybe im just expecting something of similar quality of the movies?
What happened to Alphas(?) in the end as that was kinda promised to be a x-men type of programme (or thats how i interpreted it anyway

Whilst I am sure Ms Geller is a very nice lady, she doesn't 'float my boat' as it were. If I were to drink from the furry cup there are far more tasty morsels out there...
Buffy was funny, silly, strange, serious, moving and just pretty darn good telly.
