concept from	It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a "human target" in order to save the lives of those in danger. Based on the popular DC Comics comic book and graphic novel, Human Target is a full-throttle action drama centered on CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Mark Valley, Fringe), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect. Call him what you like, because for Chance, it's about one thing only: saving his clients' lives. When there is an unusual or imminent threat that can't be solved through "normal" means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into his clients' lives - to become the human target. If you're a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee has gone violently off the deep end, Chance is your new auditor. If you're the president of a bank who's been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is your unassuming bank teller...

my take
	If you're target of something or someone and you can't handle it, make someone else the target. Pretty simple concept, with a limitless amount of ideas for many seasons to come. Mark Valley can carry it, but I've got a feeling that it won't find an audience. Then again, I didn't think The Mentalist would be a hit.
