This year they are offering two nights of original programming. Original series include THE INVISIBLE MAN, FARSCAPE, FIRST WAVE, LEXX, BLACK SCORPION, CROSSING OVER WITH JOHN EDWARD and THE SECRET ADVENTURES OF JULES VERNE. New programming includes the series EXPOSURE and the mini-series ROBOCOP: PRIME DIRECTIVES.
Here is the Friday night line-up on Sci-Fi beginning June 5th:
THE INVISIBLE MAN, 8 9 p.m. Now in its second season, this series offers a blend of comedy and action-adventure. Vincent Ventresca stars as Darien Fawkes, an unwilling, sometimes invisible, secret agent for a very underfunded federal agency.

It was written by series star Ben Browder and is entitled "The Green-Eyed Monster." In the episode the crew finds itself swallowed by a giant space creature. As the crew attempts to escape the belly of the giant beast jealousy among the crew begins to rear its ugly head.
CHRONICLE, 10 11 p.m. This new series is an hour long "dramedy" about a hip twentysomething journalist who is forced to take a job at a weekly tabloid. To his astonishment, he discovers that the bizarre stories featured in the tabloid are actually true. The series is produced by Robert Greenblatt and David Janollari who also produce THE HUGHLYES.
