John Barrowman's "Torchwood" series to air in U.S.

Capt. Jack Harkness and his plucky team of adventurers on "Torchwood" are going to cross the pond and start airing in the U.S. on Saturday nights on BBC America. Why should you care? Because the bisexual Captain Jack is played by the openly-gay, recently married and very gorgeous and talented John Barrowman!
"Torchwood" is to be part of a "Supernatural Saturday" line-up that centers on science fiction programming and shows featuring paranormal events, including the BBC America co-production "Jekyll," a modern-day retelling of the classic tale, as well as new seasons of returning series "Life on Mars," "Hex" and "Doctor Who," the show from which "Torchwood" is a spinoff.
