new crop of television shows
If television is the opiate of the masses, then shoot me up!
Let's get all the Arquettes on television - yes, even Alexis. ABC has added two more to its cast of What About Brian? - Barry Watson and Rosanna Arquette. Watson will play the title character Brian, a 30-something guy and the only one left single in his circle of friends. Arquette will play his older sister. Other cast members to date include Rick Gomez, Raoul Bova, Amanda Detmer.
CBS cast Jennifer Love Hewitt in the untitled drama pilot based on the work of psychic James Van Praagh. Hewitt plays a psychic. I predict this one won't last long.
Further evidence that CBS should put down the pipe, the net has cast former Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek in its comedy(!) pilot Three, about a newlywed couple (Van Der Beek is the husband), and their friend who just went through a divorce. Yeah, because that's funny stuff.
Are you missing Friends? ABC has a pilot project titled Introducing Lennie Rose (rethink that title please) and cast Aya Sumika as one of the friends in this ensemble show about a group of 20-somethings living in NYC. Does anyone remember Coupling?
NBC has added to its comedy project pilot My Name is Earl with the casting of Ethan Suplee, Nadine Velazquez and Eddie Steeples. My Name is Earl is about a guy who wins big at lotto, and vows to turn his life around and make amends to all he has mistreated. I dig Ethan Suplee but this just sounds awful.
UPN has cast Denise Richards in its dramedy pilot Wildlife, an ensemble comedy/drama about a group of friends living in a hot Hollywood neighborhood. The pilot will be directed by David Straiton. Much like the hispanic soap operas, I will be watching this one with the sound off.
