TCA: ABC Getting a Fall Reboot | Roush Dispatch | 7/16/2008
If you get deja view looking at ABC’s not-so-new fall lineup, there’s a reason for that. Much of the schedule is a redo from last fall, with a number of promising shows returning that were cut short by the writers’ strike—most notably the Wednesday lineup of Pushing Daisies, Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money.“Our Wednesday night was to us an unbelievable success and we’re very excited to get back to that,” ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said... read more
A Fond Farewell to Eli Stone | Roush Dispatch | 4/17/2008
I’ve been going on and on lately about how much ABC’s Eli Stone has grown on me, especially in the last few weeks—ironically, the show finding its truest voice around the time it lost new episodes of Lost as a lead-in, par for the course in this frustrating strike-warped midseason. Tonight, Eli signs off after its 13-episode tryout, and if you can watch it unmoved, maybe this really isn’t the show for you.Last week, Eli (the charming Jonny Lee Miller) shook everyone’s... read more
Preview: 30 Rock, Eli Stone | Roush Dispatch | 4/10/2008
Ever wondered what a Fox reality show would look like on NBC? Watch, and revel in, the glimpses we’re shown of the fictional (at least for now) reality spoof "MILF Island" in tonight’s first episode back of 30 Rock. Everyone from Alec Baldwin’s deliciously malicious network boss Jack Donaghy to a certain other vice president who should have better things to do are glued to the season finale of "Island," which is what Survivor would look like if populated by cougar moms and... read more
Eli Stone: Jonny Lee Miller Takes a Leap of Faith | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 1/31/2008
The British actor plays an attorney who has visions of George Michael on tonight's premiere of Eli Stone (10 pm/ET, ABC). "I used to be able to fill places like this!" shouts George Michael as he looks out at the middling crowd inside the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. In fact, there's not a single paying customer in the house: The people here are extras, crew members on the new ABC series Eli Stone and connected folks who've wrangled an invite. (Yep, that's Bo Derek sitting in a chair by... read more
Ask Matt | 1/28/2008
Based on the previews, Eli Stone appears to be nothing more than a male version of Ally McBeal. Courtroom drama, production numbers, fantasies, even a famous singer (George Michael instead of Al Green) whom only the lead can see. How does Stone hold up against the Emmy-winning McBeal? Also, a completely unrelated observation: Have you noticed that in the new Lost promos, when the word "Lost" comes on-screen at the end, we get our normal greenish view of the island, but if you look in the ... read more
Exclusive: George Michael Gets Stoned for ABC | Ausiello Report | 9/28/2007
ABC's gotta have faith, faith, faith in George Michael. The network has inked a deal with the '80s pop icon turned courtroom staple to appear in two additional episodes of its buzzworthy midseason entry Eli Stone. The spiritually-\ tinged legal drama revolves around an attorney (played by Jonny Lee Miller) who, after a string of bizarre hallucinations, thinks he might be a prophet. In the pilot, Eli keeps hearing the sound of "Faith" in his head, and at one point has a vision of George Michael... read more
In the Works: Who Put the Gay in Game Show? | Today's News: Our Take | 11/21/2006
Lifetime has ordered an 18-episode run of Gay, Straight or Taken?, a dating show from the eerily omnipresent Endemol USA (Deal or No Deal, Show Me the Money). The premise, per Variety: A woman goes on a date with three men (see title), and then has to pick out the single, straight dude. If she's wrong, the guy she incorrectly chose wins the grand prize instead.... Dawn Stern (Viper) has landed the lead in the ABC Family pilot Nobody, playing a mother who is erased from the memories of her loved... read more
In the Works: Smith Hunk Gets Stone'd | Today's News: Our Take | 11/1/2006
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Jonny Lee Miller, a regular on CBS' short-lived Smith, has scored the title role in Eli Stone, an ABC drama pilot about a lawyer who discovers he might be a prophet (this probably bumps his hourly up 25 percent). Everwood's Greg Berlanti penned the series with former attorney Marc Guggenheim (The Practice).... Variety reports that rapper-actor Chris "Ludacris" Bridges has inked a deal to exec-produce for The N a weekly drama titled Halls of Fame, with the emphasis on... read more
