Numbers, Jericho, L&O Scoop! Plus: Random Thoughts
Here's some exclusive prattle with a few random thoughts tossed in for added flavor:
*
The West Wing's
Josh Malina is joining the cast of
Numbers as a whip-smart, crusading federal prosecutor known for his persistence in going after tough cases. He'll debut in Episode 9 and will likely recur.
* CBS has picked
Jericho up for a full season. Thanks Kim Jong II!
* NBC, encouraged by
Law & Order: Criminal Intent's ratings on Tuesday night, has ordered a full 22 episodes, up from 18.
* Do we want to live in a world where
Criminal Minds beats
Lost in the ratings? From a just-released CBS press bulletin: "
Criminal Minds beat
Lost in households for the first time ever and finished in a near dead heat with
Lost in viewers in the 9-10 pm hour and attracted more viewers than
Lost from 9:30-10 pm." That Tasti D-Lite shop is starting to look
really good right about now.
* Everything you've read about the
Grey's Anatomy kerfuffle is 100 percent true.
*
Kidnapped is shooting across the street from our offices today. You'd be amazed at how much work goes into a show that only 16 people will see.
* Fox has ordered three additional
Standoff scripts. All of them
terrible. (Actually, Tim Minear is working on the show now, so I take that back.)
* Someone named Pat O'Brien posted a comment to this blog (see below). Could this be
the Pat O'Brien? You know, of "Betsy" fame?
* Yet another reason we love this whole Internet thing:
Flight attendants talking smack about rude celebrities!
