BREAKING. Current TV to debut 2 new shows in 2011, a doccie series about high school football and a sci-fi drama set. . . in a space bar!


Current TV (TopTV 406) has announced that it will introduce two new series in 2011: one new documentary series following the American football season in America, as well as the channel's first-ever sci-fi drama series set in a bar that travels through time and space.

4th and Forever will debut on Current TV in April 2011 and follows the 2010 American football season as seen through the eyes of pupils in Long Beach, California as they battle poverty, education and gangs at the Polytechnic High School.

Then there's Bar Karma that will debut on Current TV in February as a half hour science fiction drama with viewers who can now determine everything from the characters and storylines to even the photos that will be hanging inside the bar. Current TV calls Bar Karma a ''mystical watering hole that travels through time and space'' with a bar tender who's 20 000 years old. The bar is visited by various characters who get help, advice and a drink along the way.
