CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- While most of the major networks have scaled back their telefilm and mini-series commitments, CBS will continue to offer a steady dose of original movies this season.

Here's a complete list of what's currently in the works for the Eye's 2003-04 season (via press release):

"Twelve Mile Road" (Sunday, September 28) stars Tom Selleck, Wendy Crewson, Maggie Grace and Anna Gunn in a drama about a divorced farmer whose life is thrown into turmoil by the unexpected arrival of his emotionally troubled daughter who comes to stay for the summer. Stephen Landis (Selleck) is a happy man on the surface but with unresolved regrets underneath whose loving girlfriend, Leah (Gunn), and her teenaged daughter, Roxanne (Tegan Moss), have recently moved in with him. Their peaceful country life is completely disrupted by the arrival of Stephen's wild and unpredictable 16-year-old daughter, Dulcie (Grace). At first Stephen thinks his overwhelmed ex-wife, Angela (Crewson), whom he still misses, has exaggerated Dulcie's troubles. However, he soon witnesses her bizarre and destructive behavior and secretly fears for her sanity. Despite her intense misgivings about staying at the farm, Dulcie finds herself forming an unlikely friendship with Roxanne, her boyfriend and the farmer couple next door. As time passes, Dulcie begins to thrive in her new surroundings and her growing bond with her father creates an unforeseen opportunity for her family to finally address and heal the wounds of the past.

One evening, on the way to his garage apartment, Skip finds an unexpected surprise -- a cardboard box containing a newborn baby. Skip decides to raise the infant on his own but is unable to keep it secret from Lydia's prying eyes. An unlikely friendship springs up between the old woman and the embittered young man.

Daisy Lowendahl (Bergen) has just killed off a popular character in a best-selling series of books and, after an unpublicized nervous breakdown, plans to confront one of her fears by spending a night alone -- without her husband, Robbie (Murphy) -- at their remote beach house. When she arrives there, things don't feel right and she is completely taken aback when she finds Spencer Weaver (Hall) inside the house claiming to be a local young fan whose knowledge of Daisy's life is both comprehensive and disturbing. Next to arrive is police detective Eddie Bruno (Brown) who heard from her husband that she was alone and might need protection. Daisy's immobilizing anxiety and escalating sense of danger creates increasing jeopardy for her. Isolated as she is in the fog-shrouded house, her husband is the only other person who knows where she is and can save her, if she can find a way to reach him.
