I am Frankie [new; sneak preview] (7 pm, Nickelodeon)

A cutting edge, experimental android navigates the perils and wonders of
being a teenager in I Am Frankie, Nickelodeon's newest serialized
live-action show, debuting Monday, Sept. 11, at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT). I Am
Frankie tells the story of Frankie Gaines (Alex Hook), who looks like
any other human girl, but harbors a big secret--she functions as a
high-tech computer, complete with internet access, extensive memory and
more. The series premieres daily, Monday through Friday, at 7:30 p.m.
(ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. After escaping from tech company EGG Labs to
avoid being used for evil purposes, Frankie enrolls in high school in an
attempt to pass as a typical teenager. Despite having an inside full of
wires and circuits, Frankie begins to adapt well by bonding with her new
best friend Dayton (Nicole Alyse Nelson), juggling loads of homework and
dealing with boy crushes, all while keeping her true identity a secret.
Suspicion soon arises about Frankie, as popular girls Tammy (Mohana
Krishnan), Lucia (Uriel Baldesco) and Makayla (Kristi Beckett) question
her quick victory during a math competition. To complicate things even
further, Frankie's wiring goes haywire as she starts experiencing human
emotion, creating more challenges and adventurous fun. How long can she
keep her true identity a secret while maintaining herself as a normal
teenager? [Tonight's first episode will apparently be repeated next
Monday, when the series officially premieres; regular time is 7:30.]

Holy crap. Really? I haven't seen one of those in years!
Hey, this is fun. The DVR popped up "this is after a live sports event"
and by default padded the record time 30 minutes! It's like they *want*
me to see it!
The last time I watched one of these they convinced me not to sample any

And yet we still haven't seen all of Powerless.

Because math competitions are what the popular girls care about.

Is 'adventurous fun' something you can create?

I've noticed that these have migrated to the apps - I think I noticed
one of these each for ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX when I checked their apps
last week...

It's apparently a "nerd" school or something, which is why the "popular
girls" are also the "smartest girls"...

Because you wouldn't want free advertising for your TV network on your
TV network.

That's not much of a feat.
