SCI FI's three-part mini-series "TIN MAN" debuts this Sunday night. I've seen the first part and it's pretty entertaining. Yes, it is based on Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" but it takes a sharp left turn on the yellow brick road we're used to seeing Dorothy and the fellas travel. Zooey Deschanel finds herself transported (by tornado, of course) to The O.Z. (Outer Zone) and there meets up with her cohorts who try to help figure out a way to get out of the dangerous, magical land and back home.
Alan Cumming, Neal McDonough, Kathleen Robertson (who eats up the scenery as the evil ruler of The O.Z.) and Richard Dreyfuss star.
There are a bunch of in-jokes tied to the 1939 movie; see if you can catch them all. And you remember how creepy the flying monkeys were in the original movie? The Mobat monkey-bats in "TIN MAN" are just as spooky. Check out this clip from the mini-series:
