Question: How likely is it that Dirty Sexy Money will survive the writers' strike? It's by far my favorite new show of the season, and the thought of it being scrapped is upsetting. I've also heard that the networks think this season has been a bust and they would be quite happy to start over once the strike ends without any of their freshman shows. Craig Wright didn't sound very optimistic about their survival chances in an interview I read, and with no end to the strike in sight, I'm beginning to feel the same way (particularly in light of the stories I heard about DSM being significantly over budget).

Peter Krause is ready to get dirty. Not dirt as in a funeral plot, but as in scandals of the rich and famous. On ABC's Dirty Sexy Money, premiering tonight at 10 pm/ET, the Six Feet Under and Sports Night alum plays Nick George, a high-powered legal eagle who, begrudgingly, inherits his suspiciously passed-on father's role as consigliere to the Darlings of New York City. Headed up by Donald Sutherland and Jill Clayburgh, the ultra-affluent clan is littered by all manner of bad-seed offspring (and parents), giving Nick plenty to manage, spin-control and nip in the bud. Krause shared a sneak peek at the good 'n' dirty 'n' sexy times ahead.
