OPRAH'S "OWN" NETWORK STARTS WITH A LOOK AT OPRAH

Oprah may be leaving her show after 25 years, but that doesn't mean you won't be seeing her again. Her Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN, as is "she OWNs you") will kick off with a one-hour docu-series, Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season. It will be an all-access look at what goes into the making of the long-running chat show. OWN also announced a few new series that will be debuting when the network gets going:

Kid-napped - Kids get control of their workaholic parents, taking away their cell phones and computers and spending some quality family time.

Miracle Detectives - Two detectives, one a sceptic and one a believer, investigate "miracles" around the world interviewing witnesses and authorities as well as on-site investigation.

Search - Pam Slaton, renowed search specialist, helps three different people find missing loved ones.

Sentenced - Taking place in the Rockville Correctional Facility, a maximum-security women's prison in Indiana, this show will feature women incarcerated in the prison and focus on rehabilitation.

Sounds like a semi-interesting lineup, but I was hoping for a couple of scripted shows from Oprah as well. Maybe something about eating or lesbianism. Maybe next season. [source]
