The network has ordered a 90-minute pilot, "Three Inches," from Fox Television Studios, writer Harley Peyton ("Twin Peaks") and executive producer Bob Cooper. It centers on an underachiever who gains the power to move any object using his mind, but only for a distance of three inches. He recruits a team of fellow heroes, each with their own less-than-spectacular abilities.

" 'Three Inches' is a fun, smart, offbeat spin on the superhero genre," Syfy executive vp development Mark Stern said. "It's a very postmodern approach, with a really wonderful, tongue-in-cheek script."

Added David Madden, executive vp at Fox TV Studios, "We felt there was something special and particularly twisted about this script, both in tone and in its sense of imagination."

The name seems more suited to a show about someone with a small dick, but I guess it has potential. Kind of a tongue-in-cheek less serious take on Heroes which I'm fine with. That show takes itself way too fucking seriously most of the time.

There's some British show with a similar concept, right?

Anyways, I'm starting to get bored of superhero stuff. It's getting as overdone as zombie media.

No, it's different. Those people have real powers, like reading minds, turning invisible, etc.

wait.

that article also says

The network also is looking to order another "Battlestar"-related project. Details were slim, but Stern said the title would mark a return to the franchise's space-opera roots.

"We're looking for other ways to spin off 'Battlestar' beyond 'Caprica,' " he said. "That world is so rich. We're sitting down with (executive producer) Ron Moore and his team. It would not necessarily be a traditional series."

Not from what I'm seeing. The one in the UK is about people are bad at handling their powers, but this new one is about people with powers but that are inherently bad.

Like the OP says, main character can move objects but only up to three inches. So, say someone can read minds but only when those people are thinking about hotdogs.

It has a lot of potential if pulled off right.
