Imagine's other contenders are Student Affairs, a one-hour tongue-in-cheek soap opera about students at a college in the Midwest that UPN is considering; Thirty, a half-hour comedy-drama hybrid for ABC that shakes up the now familiar Friends formula; Eli's Theory, a half-hour drama for WB about a single father raising his six-year-old genius son; and Agro & York, for Fox, a puppet show set in space.
