See if the plot for the Sam Raimi-produced TV show Legend of the Seeker sounds familiar: a young, simple country boy who dreams of being something more is sought out by an attractive, mysterious woman who is leading a rebellion against a tyrannical ruler whose very name causes people to shudder in fear; with the help of a crazy old man who lives alone, the boy learns to accept his destiny and embrace his role as savior. Okay, so maybe it doesn’t take a whole lot of imagination to guess that whoever wrote the “Legend of the Seeker” books probably got an itty bitty inspiration from George Lucas’ Star Wars flicks. Except instead of space ships and lightsabers, Legend of the Seeker has horses and swords. Now if only Sam Raimi and the producers can convince Bridget Regan to slip on a gold metal bikini…
The show, set to premiere nationwide in syndication November 1 with a 2-hour premiere, has the first 10 minutes of the premiere online now at the show’s official site. It stars Bridget Regan and Craig Horner as the leads, with producing credits by Sam Raimi.

P.S. I know the show is called Legend of the Seeker, but come on, how many times are they going to use the word “seeker” on this show? After a while, it sounds like people are saying “seeker” every third word or so. I’m just sayin’…
