I didn’t catch “Six Feet Under” in the last two seasons of its five-season run. I won’t give too much away for those who were also unfortunate to have HBO, but from what I read the last season was a doozy. And just reading about the finale had me in tears.

None of the main cast of the show has done much work. I think Michael C. Hall is doing well on Dexter, but that’s about it.

I was real happy to find out Peter Krause, who played the original McDreamy, Nate, on “Six Feet Under,” is back on TV, at least for a few days. He’s starring in the miniseries “The Lost Room,” which starts tonight on the Sci-Fi Channel. When I saw the commercial for it last week, I kept saying, “Please don’t be on pay cable, please don’t be on pay cable.” Someone obviously heard me.

I don’t know much about the show, and don’t really want to. It involves a hotel room whose door can take you anywhere in the world. Hmmmm. I’m thinking Australia would be a nice place right now. But I don’t think the places on the other side of the door will be as tropical and sunny as Australia. Since it’s on the Sci-Fi Channel, there’s going to be lots of weird subplots and shifty characters. Krause plays a detective who stumbles on the room and finds weird objects inside, like a comb that can stop time. Cool!

But his daughter (Elle Fanning, probably going to be just as good as her big sister) gets lost when she steps in the room and he has to find her. Chances are he’s going to meet some very shifty characters.

Some of those will be played by actors who I’m glad to see are still working: Kevin Pollack and Dennis Christopher. Kevin got his start as a stand-up comic, but you might remember him most as Todd Hockney on The Usual Suspects (in this clip, he’s the one with the dark goatee).

Dennis Christopher has been in and out of television and movies, but he had his big break in two great movies of yesteryear. His first was as Dave, the middle-class kid who wanted to be an Italian biker in Breaking Away. Then he had a smaller role in “Chariots of Fire” as an American runner going up against the Jeiwsh Brit who had nothing to lose.

Oh, and what show can go wrong with Margaret Cho? (NSFW language at 2:30 and 2:49)

Can’t wait to settle in with this show. Since I don’t have Showtime to watch the second season of “Sleeper Cell,” this is the only miniseries I have.

“The Lost Room” airs in two-hour increments over three nights on the Sci-Fi Channel, starting tonight. Check listings.
