With audiences embracing ...

Question: With audiences embracing serialized shows like Lost and 24 (and, potentially, the upcoming Reunion and Prison Break), do networks ever consider resurrecting old serialized dramas that didn't quite connect the first time around? I'm thinking of Murder One here. It would be a prime show to bring back especially given the current interest in procedurals. Finally, do you know of any plans to bring the late, great 1994 series Under Suspicion to DVD? Karen Sillas' show was an overlooked gem.
Answer: I'm not an expert on DVD releases, but I've heard nothing about the short-lived Under Suspicion being released. As for Murder One coming back — Season 2 is coming out on DVD in November, by the way — it would seem Steven Bochco has moved on. He's not the sort of guy who likes to repeat himself, and while this show was undoubtedly ahead of its time, I'd be surprised if there were any movement to start this over from scratch. That said, if this serialized-drama trend continues to flourish, I imagine we'll see someone attempt to do an arc-driven (if not a season-long) courtroom drama again.
