Fall 2007: Buffy's Sis Takes Stab at D.C.
A few pilot developments, from Variety and the Hollywood Reporter:
• Buffy alum Michelle Trachtenberg has staked her claim to the female lead in ABC's D.C.-based comedy about a senator's aide (Eric Christian Olsen, yes the) who falls for the daughter of his boss' political archnemesis.
• Arrested Development's Jeffrey Tambor will costar as a retired television scribe in the CBS comedy The Captain.
• Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar) and Kali Rocha (Grey's Anatomy) are a hypochondriac paramedic and his boss, respectively, in ABC's The Call, from the creators of 24.
• Brit hunk Stephen Moyer (Quills) has the lead in NSA Innocent, Fox's drama (also from the folks at 24) about a defense-contractor spy.

Why do you say "the" Eric Christian Olsen? I went to Pepperdine with him, actually.

And I went to S.U. with Xbox's Major Nelson. Your point?

No wonder 24's all sorts of uneven this season. The creators are spreading themselves way too thin. This is exactly what happened to Alias (albeit a lot quicker). They need to focus on their original show and get it back on track pronto!!!

For a second, I thought you meant Olsen, as in of Mary Kate and Ashley fame, Olsen? I had to IMDB him.
It's good to see Michele Trachtenberg will be on the small screen again, I still love her. Her role as Nona on "Pete and Pete" was the only reason I wasn't one of the Dawn-haters for her role on "Buffy".

Seriously, how many new shows are slated for next season? I am so lost week to week on what is coming up.
