Murder One: TV Guide News

Steven Bochco's provocative courtroom thriller began as a seasonlong investigation of one L.A. murder case. The series was originally intended by ABC to compete with NBC's `ER,' and it should have been a big success: Exceptional acting and taut, gripping scripts won it critical accolades (but alas, not many viewers). When `Murder One' returned for its second year, the number of storylines increased from one to three and Anthony LaPaglia replaced Daniel Benzali as lead defense lawyer.

Damaged Goods: Damages Nears the End | Matt Roush | 10/17/2007
This Saturday, FX is running the entire first season (up to now) of its legal thriller Damages as an all-day marathon, which means theoretically there will be viewers who will get to experience this show the way it might work best: as a rock ’em, sock ’em miniseries, compounding all of the story’s elaborate and sometimes preposterous shocks and twists into a roller-coaster ride that doesn’t require waiting a week between chapters.The ratings have been, even by cable standards, a disappointment, and as I write this, FX had yet to confirm a second-season renewal (although as I’ve said before, any network that would keep Dirt and The Riches going and fail to renew this gritty gem has some explaining to do).

Has Stanley Kamel Finally Made His Monk on Show Biz? | Today's News: Our Take | 1/19/2007
After three decades as a steadily employed but no-name actor, Stanley Kamel has found his dream role on USA's Monk as the title character's dedicated shrink, Dr. Charles Kroger. Mind you, Kamel has played a therapist before — prior to Monk he was best known for his villainous turn as an ethically challenged psychiatrist on ABC's Murder One — but as Kroger, he gets to show that despite his wild blue eyes and intense persona, he can still play a good guy, and a pretty funny one at that. Kamel talked (at length) to TVGuide.com about his long career and the second half of Monk's fifth season, which kicks off tonight at 9 pm/ET. TVGuide.com: I love interviewing character actors. You guys always say the best stuff. Like read more
CBS Outbids Foes for Six Feet Scribe's Latest | Today's News: Our Take | 9/20/2006
Per Variety, CBS has outbid at least two rival networks to land the next project from Six Feet Under writer-producer Kate Robin, an ensemble drama that (paging Daniel Benzali... ) will follow a single, high-profile court case over the course of one season. Now before you cry Murder One, Robin tells the trade, "The heart of the show is the personal lives of these very disparate characters" -- including lawyers on both sides, some of the jury, and the judge -- "who've been brought together by the case." read more
