TNT Reveals Dynamite Plan for More Original Content | Today's News: Our Take | 3/3/2008
TNT on Monday revealed its ambitious plan to change most of its weekday prime-time schedule to original fare by the year 2010. (Popular movies will still be the cabler's bread-and-butter on Fridays/weekends.) Here's what's on tap.Already greenlit for production:• Raising the Bar, a Steven Bochco drama about a public defender (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), his boss (Gloria Reuben) and an imperious judge (Jane Kaczmarek). Teddy Sears and Melissa Sagemiller also star. • Leverage, in which a former insurance investigator (Timothy Hutton) assembles a team of highly skilled thieves, hackers and grifters.In consideration:• Truth in Advertising, an ad-biz drama starring Eric McCormack, Tom Cavanagh and Monica Potter.In development (scripted):Generations (from Robert Redford, a drama following three generations of the same family living in a house); an untitled family drama set in 1950s Indiana; a series based on Tess Gerritsen's crime novels; The Genie Chronicles (about... a genie... read more
Episode Recap: "My Inconvenient Truth" | Scrubs | 11/9/2007
Well, despite J.D. (Zach Braff) finally being told by nearly everyone he knows that he needs to grow up, and Cox's useful, if revenge-driven, demand that Elliot recognize that she is starving herself dangerously, this was the frothiest episode of the season so far. And yet, while pleasant, it also managed to be the least funny, even given that it was paced like the most like typical Scrubs episodes of past seasons.As part of NBC's "Green Week" stunt, the episode begins with a discussion between hospital lawyer Ted (Sam Lloyd, sadly underused this season till this episode) and the Janitor over Ted's relative eco-friendliness versus the Janitor's tendency to leave his van running all day so that it's air-conditioned for his drive home. Ted shows the Janitor Al Gore's augmented-lecture documentary An Inconvenient Truth, and the latter is inspired to ask Kelso if he can become the ecology officer for the hospital. Assured that it will cost Sacred Heart no money, Kelso agrees, just to... read more
Episode Recap: "My Hard Labor" | Scrubs | 11/2/2007
Another pretty solid episode — still not Scrubs at its comic best, and still at least as much about the serious subtexts of the series as about the blackouts and fantasy sequences.Kim (Elizabeth Banks) is about to give birth, and J.D. (Zach Braff) is ready for everything... except for openly admitting to Kim that he doesn't love her. Meanwhile, Cox (John C. McGinley) looks for someone competent to give his infant daughter a shot, unwilling to give it to her himself for fear that she'll associate him with pain. Carla (Judy Reyes) can't do it,since she's enraged at Turk (Donald Faison) for his stubborn insistence on playing a console video game to its conclusion... or at least for his obliviousness to her need, as great as his, to be something other than a parent sometimes (and, to a much lesser extent, to his obliviousness to her ability to play the game better than either her husband or the Janitor (Neil Flynn). Even Kelso (Ken Jenkins) proves his worth as a parent, while... read more
Eric McCormack Tells the Truth, More Casting News | Today's News: Our Take | 9/27/2007
Will & Grace's Eric McCormack has been tapped to star in the TNT drama pilot Truth in Advertising, playing a family-man art director trying to negotiate the politics of the snake-oil biz. Ed's Tom Cavanagh is in talks to play his copywriter partner (no, not that kind of partner).... Joseph Fiennes will undergo some nipping and tucking of his own as the star of Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy's untitled drama (née 4 Oz.) about a husband and father who opts for a sex change. Blythe Danner and Robert Wagner play his folks.... Jenna Elfman is reuniting with Dharma & Greg boss Dottie Dartland Zicklin, who has come onboard to run the show at Literary Superstar, Elfman's new comedy about a book publicist to quirky (read: zany!) authors. read more
