ABC adds five to Off The Map, while CBS snags Buffy for a new series, and an Emmy-winning-Dexter-serial-killer for another, while adding a LUX vet to CSI:NY, and DirecTV delivers us a little more evil John Goodman in Damages, while Fox brings another movie star to guest star, and NBC powerloads a lot of familiar faces into LO:LA, Parenthood and Chuck.

Logline: Story centers on an 11-year-old boy whose soap box derby dreams are left in pieces when his soldier father is killed in Afghanistan. The boy teams up with a father figure whose own son, a firefighter, died in the line of duty, and the two help each other find redemption and revive the derby.
