Question: Do you have any info on
Steven Bochco's new show for TNT? I'm a big fan of his, and after his last few tries, he's due for another hit. All I know so far is that Gloria Reuben is in the cast (yay!), and it seems to be about a group of lawyers. Should I get my hopes up?
Answer: Look for
Raising the Bar to show up on TNT on Labor Day. I've seen a few episodes and was personally underwhelmed by what seemed to be pretty ordinary storylines involving public defenders and prosecutors and a mercurial judge (Jane Kaczmarek) who continually locks horns with the rumpled young hero, played by Bochco repertory vet Mark-Paul Gosselaar. I'll give it another look closer to the premiere date, and at the very least, I think that even if it isn't another blockbuster like
The Closer, it's the kind of show that might feel right at home nestled among old repeats of
Law & Order. But is it the next
NYPD Blue? Not by a long shot.
