Fall 2007: Superman Will Protect and Serve
Today's pilot-casting quickies, per the Reporter:
• Dean Cain will play a veteran officer in Protect and Serve, a CBS drama from Las Vegas creator Gary Scott Thompson. Also added to the cast are Eric Balfour (24), Tamala Jones and Monica Potter.
• Paige Turco (who never thanked me for the roses I sent her some 16 years ago... ) and Jessica Collins (Tru Calling edition) have come on board ABC's drama about four high-powered CEOs/CEO wannabes (played by Dylan McDermott, Michael Vartan, Joshua Malina and Christopher Titus).
• Raquel Welch is a bombshell former TV star on CBS' The Captain.
• Following a disappointing Monday table read, production has been pushed back on 24 cocreator Bob Cochran's NSA Innocent, as the lead character is being tweaked and portrayer Stephen Moyer will be recast.

Sooooooooo, CBS has several new pilots that sound promising. Where are they going to put them? Ausiello seems to think Close to Home is gone. Jericho's ratings haven't been good since they've been back from fall break, otherwise it seems to me like CBS has a lot of shows that probably have good enough ratings to hang around for another year.

Well, Dean Cain didn't get cast as "Mr. Smith" in the upcoming series "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," but a least we'll get to see him in a new series!

Eric Balfour must have the most amazing agent in Hollywood.

Matt, just so you'll know. If you sent me flowers, I would thank you.

Speaking of pilots, didn't I hear a few months ago that there was going to be a series based on the great movie Thank You for Smoking?
Does anyone know what ever happened to that? Or did I just imagine it?

Hey, now, Ms. Potter's is no slouch.

Yeah, I reported that almost four months ago. Not a peep since.

Eric Balfour and Monica Potter on the same show? Can Ted McGinley be that far behind?

Ted McGinley! Yeah, but they'd have to pull him out of his van down by the river and sober him up a bit...LOL
BTW, how much does your life suck if you're Stephen Moyer? To have a table read go so badly that not only do you lose your job, but the whole show nearly gets the axe...boy, that's a pretty rough day in the biz.

Huh. Weird.
I loved the movie. I would be tentatively optimistic about a series, contingent on casting.

In order for Kate to do the show, Tom has to be on set with her all the time, so negotiations have stalled.

Dean Cain on a new show, that's great news for me! Can anyone tell me what happened to the mid-season replacement show called "Traveler"? Saw the preview, loved it, and have heard not much since then! I can't start thinking about fall until after spring!
