Pilot Talk: Will & Grace Boyfriend Is NYC's Mayor
The latest pilot developments, this time per Reuters:
• Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale (Will & Grace) has landed the lead in M.O.N.Y., NBC's drama about a socially conscious public advocate who suddenly finds himself New York City's interim mayor.
• Rebecca Mader (last seen on Fox's Justice) has been cast as Jane's top associate at the covert ops agency in ABC's Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
• Rachelle Lefevre (What About Brian's Heather) has landed the female lead in Life on Mars, David E. Kelley's ABC drama about a detective who gets transported back in time to 1972.
• Malcolm's dad, Bryan Cranston, will star as a high-school chemistry teacher who, when diagnosed with terminal cancer, uses his mad skills to open a meth lab and thus provide for his family's future, in AMC's Breaking Bad.
• ER alum Michael Michele is the lead character's friend and a no-nonsense detective in ABC's Judy's Got a Gun, about a rookie female detective.
• Dania Ramirez (aka X-Men 3's Callisto) has joined NBC's Ft. Pit (set in one of the worst NYPD precincts), playing a hard-boiled cop.

You may also want to note that "Life on Mars" is a British import. The original is currently airing on BBC America.

And here's the link for the BBC America original
So - what will the differences be between the two shows?
Wish ABC would just show MI-5!

Hopefully Life on Mars will be good David Kelley and not Cop Rock David Kelley.
The Bryan Cranston series sounds happy...not.
So is Mr. and Mrs. Smith definitely on the schedule, or are they just making the pilot to be decided on during pilot season? There been a lot of buzz about it so I'm curious.
