2-minute series to air on TNT

One of the fall’s most offbeat new television series will debut next week in miniature.

“Blank Slate,” a crime thriller in the form of a “microseries” starring Eric Stolz and Clancy Brown, will premiere Sept. 9 on TNT and air for two consecutive weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays evenings. Five two-minute episodes -- produced by Electric Entertainment, a production company run by Dean Devlin (“Independence Day”) -- will air each night within back-to-back episodes of “Law & Order.”
