ABC Changes: Murder In, Trees Out | Roush Dispatch | 3/31/2008
Some head-scratching is in order upon looking at ABC's latest round of midseason shuffling. On one hand, I get why the network would try to give Women’s Murder Club some exposure on a night that isn’t Friday. But in announcing its return with three new episodes on Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, starting April 29, you can’t help but wonder if the show is being given a favor after all. This scheduling puts it head-to-head against NBC’s powerful Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which you’d think targets much of the same audience. Not only that, but April 29 is the night SVU airs its 200th episode, featuring Robin Williams as a guest villain. (And it has been previously announced that Mariska Hargitay will be getting a steady boyfriend in Bill Pullman, adding even more juice to this already potent franchise.)Quick check of tea leaves. Yep. SVU is going to murder Club first night out.The return of Women’s Murder Club shifts Boston Legal to Wednesdays at 10... read more
Robin Williams and Wife to Divorce | Today's News: Our Take | 3/26/2008
Robin Williams' wife, Marsha Garces Williams, has filed for divorce after 19 years of marriage. She filed her petition March 21 in San Francisco, saying that she and Robin had "irreconcilable differences."The pair met and married in 1989, shortly after Williams divorced his previous wife. They have an 18-year-old daughter, Zelda, and a 16-year-old son, Cody, together. People reports that Garces Williams is asking for joint custody of Cody, as well as monies for attorney fees and spousal support.Robin and Marsha, who met when she was a nanny for Williams' son from his previous marriage, have worked together over the years. They eventually formed Blue Wolf Productions, which released films like Mrs. Doubtfire and Patch Adams, as well as a nonprofit that supports the arts and environmental, health and education causes. — Anna Dimond read more
Exclusive: SVU Nabs Robin Williams for 200th | Ausiello Report | 3/18/2008
I told you Law & Order: SVU's 200th episode was going to be big, and now I've got proof: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Robin Williams has inked a deal to guest-star in the landmark episode on April 29. The Oscar winner will play a Svengali-like figure who tests Benson and Stabler like never before.Exec producer Neal Baer says the episode is "one of the best cat-and-mouse stories we've ever done," and describes Williams' character as "a guy who has a problem with authority figures." Adds Mariska Hargitay: "He is one of these charismatic human beings that has uncanny power over people to get them to do what he wants." Williams' casting comes just hours after it was announced that another movie star, Bill Pullman, would be doing an arc as a love interest for Benson. But that's only half the story. For the full story, check out Ask Ausiello tomorrow. — Additional reporting by Ileane Rudolph read more
