In this Stephen King adaptation, the residents of Chester's Mill are in the midst of a normal day when the dome drops — a spectacular special effect involving fire, earthquakes and debris. The town's population is immediately divided into those on the outside and those on the inside. Then there's the unlucky cow that happened to be standing right where a part of the dome's edge hit the ground. It simply splits in two, lengthwise. Is this an act of terror? An act of God? Or does it have something to do with the propane recently stockpiled by city officials? A journalist (Rachelle Lefevre) investigates, a city councilman (Dean Norris) struggles to restore order and a shady character (Mike Vogel) proves his humanity by ministering to victims. The pilot is a thrill-a-minute, skillfully introducing the large cast of characters. It also sets up multiple mysteries that will require solving over the 13-week season. One thing is for sure: Nothing will ever be the same in Chester's Mill. In other words, there's no way to glue that cow back together. Franklin & Bash Wednesday, 9 pm (TNT) You might think the puerile lawyer duo Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) have worn out their welcome after two seasons of Animal House antics. It's been fun, but how many more times can we watch them get the better of uptight fellow lawyers with a brilliantly out-of-left-field stratagem? Luckily, season three has a brilliantly out-of-left-field stratagem of its own: casting Heather Locklear as Rachel King, a haughty new law firm partner. Locklear commands the screen in the role of Franklin and Bash's ultimate opponent, an intimidating legal genius with no patience for their frat-boy nonsense. A born sadist, Rachel relishes every condescending put-down as she makes their life a living hell. "Maybe she enjoys torturing us," Bash ventures. Maybe?! Copper Sunday, 10 pm (BBC America) The second-season premiere takes us back to rough-and-tumble New York City in the Civil War era. "Home sweet bloody home," in the words of one roguish inhabitant. Indeed, almost all the inhabitants are rogues of one sort of another, whether upper or lower class, natives or immigrants. This week, a mustachioed scoundrel has wreaked violence on a madam who's muscling in on his prostitution business. It's up to our hero, Irish cop and Civil War veteran Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones), to hunt down the villain and bring him to justice. Or at least a close approximation of justice, given the Wild West setting. Yes, this is the frontier version of New York City, with rowdy saloons and trigger-happy lawmen. Copper does a great job of evoking the setting, from the dank interiors to the dirty streets. This is a town where life is cheap, cops are corrupt and sex is anything but sacred. It's a horrible place to be — though certainly a fascinating place to visit for an hour a week. WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM
