CBS Taps Geena Davis to Take a Bite out of Crime

Geena Davis, who on TV last occupied no less than the White House, is eyeing a return to the tube, as the star of Exit 19, a pilot presentation for CBS. In the drama, Davis will play "a quirky murder detective balancing her job... with her role as a single suburban mom raising two kids on Long Island."

CBS entertainment boss Nina Tassler, says Variety, has long been trying to lock down Davis for a series, since both women graduated from Boston University. It's a good thing Tassler didn't go to Syracuse; Exit 19 might have ended up starring that crazy chick who used to drive me home at winter recess.

Geena Davis is a joy to watch. ABC made a colossal blunder in cancelling Commander In Chief. I'm glad CBS sees the potential in having Davis in their lineup. It could definitely be a good show and I hope we get the chance to see it.

Because TV and particularly CBS doesn't have enough law enforcement shows?

:-D Will be happy to see Geena Davis on the small screen again. I enjoyed her CIC stint. However, hasn't this series been done before, kinda? Hope the writing is fantastic.

She is kinda old. Is she going to be another Miss Marple?

I enjoyed CIC tremendously because Davis was fantastic. I guess she didn't really want to do Criminal Minds because it was too dark but I am glad she never stopped thinking about a TV series. I will watch because she is great. I hope it's not too much like The Closer.
