CBS probably has one of the more interesting schedules of the fall, just for the fact that they are making a concerted effort to try something different. They could have rolled out yet another procedural (
CSI: LA?), and who could really blame them. Those shows have performed extremely well for the network over the past few years.
Instead, in what is a definite gamble, the network will be bringing out some decidedly alternative programming. There is a musical drama about the casino business in Laughlin, a vampire detective, a drama about a Cuban family and their rum making business, and some swinging couples getting their freak on in the 70's. The kind of fare that would probably cause Horatio to tilt his head to the side and remove his sunglasses. Will it work?

It's that time of the year. People are being cast in pilots left and right and some interesting stuff has

The Practice) and Michael Vartan (
Alias). McDermott and Vartan as CEOs is an easy sell. But Christopher Titus, Senior VP Harvard graduate? That's different, and something I look forward to checking out.
Carrie-Anne Moss (
The Matrix) is set to star in ABC's
Suspect. The show is a procedural that will solve crimes by tracking suspects through a lineup. She's joined by Eric Palladino (
ER) and Kathleen Munroe (
Beautiful People). The ABC track record for procedurals is less than impressive, but the addition of Guy Ritchie (
Snatch) as director is intriguing enough to give this one a look.

Sultry actress Madchen Amick will be joining the cast of ABC's new Freddie Prinze, Jr. series
Freddie. She'll be playing Allison, Prinze's nutty sister-in-law. The show stars Prinze as a single chef who lives with four women, all related to him. Wow. I'm bored with the show already and it hasn't even aired yet. Is Prinze still a viable commodity? It seems like we haven't heard from our handsome young friend in some time.
