Fall 2006 New Shows Rank: #15
Gist of the Show:
The Raders may seem like a normal mid-western family, but they have a secret; father Paul Rader was convicted of a crime he didn't commit and the whole family is now on the run. Not only that, on
Runaway, the Raders are hunted by the real killer, who committed the crime Paul Rader was convicted of.
Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory:
Former "New Kid on the Block-er" and brother of Marky Mark, Donnie Wahlberg.
Similar in Theme to:
"Cape Fear"
Time Slot Competition:
Heroes, Two and a Half Men, The Bachelor.
Likelihood of Second Season:
22%...if it were on a big network, I don't think it'd make it through the season, but the CW has lower standards.
Final Word:
Runaway is from "Sex and the City" creator Darren Star and (since word is the pilot is less than mediocre) it may have solely been Star's clout that got
Runaway into production. The premise allows for myriad story possibilities, so
Runaway's future is up in the air.
