Question: Is there any confirmation of Anthony Anderson replacing Jesse L. Martin on Law & Order?
Answer: Not yet. I'm sure it's written in some contract that NBC can't announce his hiring until Fox officially cancels K-Ville. Meanwhile, I hear a gun plays a major role in Det. Green's impending exit.

Question: Now, I know you're not a mind reader, but I am wondering what your opinion is on a rumor floating around that if the writers' strike were to drag on, chances are that shows that would probably (and in some cases, should) be canceled would be back on board for next fall, given that they already have the cast and crew in place and on contract. One show in particular I'm curious about (which I know you, and many others), didn't like: K-Ville. I actually found that it improved as it went along, except for that cringe-worthy plot devise of Cobb's backstory. But I actually think the chemistry between the leads was great, and when they stuck to the police stories, it worked well. Any chance a show like this could be given a second chance, especially if the writers were given the opportunity to go back and start fresh (ie: Kill that stupid plot point)?
Answer: This logic seems like a reach to me, the sort of notion fans concoct in the false hope that the failing show they like wil ...

Now that was a well-done episode. I don’t think the crime or its perpetrator are unique to New Orleans but the twist about a New York reporter coming down to do an expose and actually admiring the boys in blue is. Good job. I’m not sure when we’re going to get a fresh episode so I’m glad the series ended the year with a bang.Let’s peel back the layers and see what emerges. First we’ve got Captain Embry trying to please his boss by making Boulet and Cobb to a ride along with the New York reporter. They protest at first but the guys got into a kind of rhythm with Jodi Mazetta that was fun to watch. I enjoyed her asking questions and having things explained that normally wouldn’t be. Or seeing tactics the police pursue to get the information they need. I thought they’d get into trouble when “questioning” those two young guys on the hood of the car while Jodi took notes and snapped photos. I also liked how she questioned Boulet and Cobb...

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who noticed that there was something off in tonight’s episode. If I had to guess I’d say this episode was taped early in the season and it’s only seeing the light of day now. It seems like we’re still in the early stages of Boulet and Cobb’s relationship. My suspicions were confirmed (as least to my satisfaction) when Cobb called Boulet’s home and had to identify himself to Ayana using both his first and last name. Boulet was also riding Cobb pretty hard about his criminal past and it seems to me Boulet came to terms with that quite a few episodes ago.But let’s move on to the case: A guy Boulet saved right after Katrina turns out to be a local racketeer. Say what you will about his methods, Boulet gets results. I can’t condone what he does; I think I’d be horrified if I ever witnessed some of the things Boulet does. Despite that his methods seem to produce results. It would have been nice to ...
