PASADENA, Calif. -- Geena Davis has star power to spare.

Lithe and leggy in an elegant black dress, the six-foot Stuart Little star turned several heads as she made her way to Monday's TV critics tour session to promote her new ABC sitcom, The Geena Davis Show.

"Look, there goes a movie star," said a star-struck guest staying at the Ritz Carlton.

ABC is counting on Davis' star power to lure viewers to her series when it debuts this fall. The sitcom also stars Peter Horton (thirtysomething, Brimstone) as a widower who sweeps her off her feet. Mimi Rogers and Kim Coles (Living Single) play her chatty and catty uptown friends; John Daley (Freaks & Geeks) plays Horton's teen son.

"I certainly have never been a snob about mediums," said Davis when asked about her switch to the small screen. She added that she really enjoyed working on her first series, Buffalo Bill, a mid-'80s entry with Dabney Coleman. "(It) was an extraordinary introduction to television."

The Oscar-winner says she hopes to continue with her film career and has a Stuart Little sequel in the works. She'll also stick with archery, a sport she's pursuing on an Olympic-tryout level.

"I have a tournament in a couple of weeks in fact," she said. "I'll have to see if the Disney lot has any empty sound stages that I could run over and shoot some arrows on. I'm sure they would be thrilled to accommodate my desire to shoot a weapon on the lot."

"She did get me a T-shirt recently with a big target on the back," joked Horton.

He also shot down Internet musings about a Brimstone reunion. "They're dreaming," he said of the show's ever-hopeful fans.
