Have you been watching Tin Man? Sci Fi's dark re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz, follows Zooey Deschanel as Dorothy, or DG, as she makes her way through the OZ - aka the Outer Zone, was a huge hit.

Not only was it the most-watched show ever in Sci Fi-channel history, in fact, according the Nielsen research, it was the most watched show on prime-time entertainment in over 2 years. At least for ad-supported cable for adults. Yowza! That means it beat out Frank Herbert's Dune. Yes, you read that right -- DUNE. Alright, so it was the Children of Dune mini-series, but still.

So if you skipped *Tin Man the *first time 'round, and you're dying for some new telefodder, check it out! An encore presentation of the mini-series kicks off on Christmas Eve.
