Stargate Atlantis fans — mark your calendar! Joe Flanigan is returning to television in a new made-for-TV movie, set to air next month on FOX in the United States.
Flanigan (Atlantis‘s Colonel John Sheppard) co-stars with Brooke White (American Idol Season Seven) and Phylicia Rashad (The Cosby Show) in Change of Plans. Flanigan plays Jason Danville, a fighter pilot and husband of a woman who is named legal guardian of her friend’s four children — three of whom were adopted from third-world countries — after the woman dies in an accident. The two must learn to parent their new family and help the kids deal with culture clashes and life in America.
The movie airs Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. Central) on FOX.
In addition to making her acting debut White performs songs in the film. The soundtrack is produced by American Idol‘s Randy Jackson.

That sounds like an unbelievably corny premise, like a bad Disney movie! Yikes.
It’s great to see Joe back on the telly even if this movie isn’t quite to my taste, its Joe "so yeah, don’t care because its Joe :-), its been sooooo long,” to long“.
Sadly I'm in the UK so cant watch it :-(. Just hope that we get it at some point or it’s available via other methods itunes etc...
So thats what John Sheppard has been up to. I will definitely watch this and i will make myself believe that its a sequel to Stargate Atlantis and maybe the four children are from another planet or something.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY MISS ATLANTIS!
This looks interesting. I think I'll be watching. ;)
He certainly gone down in the world.
Boring project an sound like a boring film.
LOL at knowles, he'll get more mainstream exposure on Fox than he ever did on Syfy.
And he's got 3 other movies either already filmed or planned, Alien Abyss (aka The Other Side)-a Syfy movie of the week, Good Day for It and Spore. He's doing OK.
Wow. This sounds terrible.
