Based on the RUNAWAY hit film, "Napoleon Dynamite" is an animated series just as quirky as the film that inspired it, and featuring the voices of the film's original cast: Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez, Jon Gries, Diedrich Bader, Aaron Ruell, Tina Majorino, and Sandy Martin. Originally broadcast as six half-hour episodes, the series follows the continuing misadventures of an awkward Idaho teen (Heder) and the social MISFITS who surround him in the small town of Preston, Idaho. Lord of dance, master of martial arts, and expert on the mythical beast known as the "liger," Napoleon attempts to share the wisdom he has attained with his school pal Pedro (Ramirez), computer-nerd brother Kip (Ruell), Uncle Rico (Gries), and the painfully shy Deb (Majorino) -- usually with hilarious results. Cult TV at its most off-beat, "Napoleon Dynamite" is highlighted by special appearances by Amy Poehler, Sam Rockwell, Jennifer Coolidge, Tom Kenny, Phil LaMarr and others!

After the death of his wife in the World Trade Center attack of September 11, Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland) embarks on a fast-paced quest to resolve the mysterious patterns of numbers -- known as the "God Sequence" -- repeated by his autistic son Jake (David Mazouz). In the second and final season (which The New York Times called, "considerably darker and more complex" than the first), Martin's pursuit of the truth leads him to the West Coast. There, the deepening mystery explodes into a multi-faceted conspiracy involving a cult known as the Righteous 36, the CEO of a sinister corporation (Frances Fisher), one of the company's former officers (Lukas Haas), a deranged ex-priest (Saïd Taghmaoui), and the mother (Maria Bello) of a child (Saxon Sharbino) who may prove instrumental in deciphering the code. Created by Tim Kring ("Heroes"), "Touch" combines the fast-paced thrills of "24" with a provocative mix of religious and political intrigue. US + CA
