  • Fox has a trio of new pilots: Canterbury’s Law, about a rebellious female defence attorney; Supreme Courtships, which is about the personal and professional lives of six Supreme Court clerks; and an untitled comedy drama about the lives and loves of nurses.
  • NBC has greenlit two pilots as well: one is a “light-hearted drama about a female police office”; the other is based on Candace Bushnell’s Lipstick Jungle, so there’s the hint of Sex and the City about it, apparently.
  • There’s an interesting interview with Thomas Schlamme, exec producer of Studio 60, in a magazine. It’s a Christian magazine, incidentally.
  • Erik Estrada got annoyed when someone called him Emilio Estevez.
  • There’s a long interview on EW.com with Kiefer Sutherland about season six of 24
  • From E!’s Kristin:
    • Six Degrees should be back in the next two months.
    • One of The Class‘s cast is leaving.

Silly place names in Prison Break

9 November 2006 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

The Prison Break producers and writers are clearly amusing themselves no end with their choice of place names. Now, “Gila” in New Mexico is only mildly amusing – Gila monsters being not that exciting, but they do have funny names.

Gila

Trinidad in Colorado? I can think of more Caribbean-esque places.

But “Dinosaur, Nebraska”? They’re having a laugh, now.

Prison Break not going for strung-out plotlines

20 October 2006 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring has promised that all the ongoing plots in the series will be concluded by the end of this season. They haven’t yet started working on season three plots, but if they do, it’s unlikely he’ll be involved. “If I were to say the show’s over [after season two], Fox would say… we’ll have someone else run the show. That could happen.”

How refreshing: a series with a serial plotline that actually intends to finish inside of two seasons.
