Seems NBC has faith in “Life.” The network has announced that the second-year drama, starring Damian Lewis as a formerly imprisoned LAPD detective, will get two weeks of double airings. It will follow “Heroes” on Monday, Sept. 29 and Oct. 6 in addition to airing in its normal 10 p.m. Friday spot. In case you missed season one, the DVD comes out on Sept. 2.

Oprah’s media empire already includes her top-rated TV talk show, a magazine, a satellite radio network, a Web site and TV movies.
