Kiefer Sutherland will be more of a family man in this show, as opposed to his tough guy turn in 24. He'll play a journalist, who becomes a widowed father after his wife dies during the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center. His son is a mute and autistic, but he also displays an amazing ability to see the exchanges of electrical and biological energy. From that he is able to see the future.



Sutherland stars as Martin Bohm, a single father who discovers his mute 11-year-old son, Jake (David Mazouz), possesses some incredible gifts, enabling him to find the connections between seemingly unrelated events. Touch comes from Tim Kring, the creator of Heroes, and also stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Undercovers) and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon). IGN.com

"TOUCH about a Boy" is a really bad choice of words IMHO.

Molestation is such a strong word, i prefer it being refered to as "Pickle Tickle".

When I heard about this show I thought the premise was weak but that trailer has changed my mind. It actually looks pretyy good.

BTW, that chick is [frick]ing hot!

Looks pretty good I guess I'll check it out, but lets just hope it doesn't get cancelled like Heroes.

Anyone else think using 9/11 character deaths is just a bit tasteless?

I loved Heros and was angry when it was cancelled. I will give this show a try.

Word, I miss Heroes so much. This look pretty good though. Last time I saw Danny Glover was in "Death at a Funeral". I'm almost shocked to see him acting again. He's getting up there, but he funny though.

Nice trailer. This show look like it's going to be pretty sick. Tim Kring has done it again, though I know nothing will ever replace Heroes. No Ordinary Family came pretty close however, and of course that was cancelled too. Always the good shows.
