I was looking over a "Where are they now?" feature our friends at AOL put together on
the cast of Cheers, and a few of the mysteries of the long-running sitcom classic came to mind. These were head-scratchers big and small that made me wonder if the writers are the most clever geniuses ever to man a word processor (it
was the '80s, after all) or, like in most sitcoms, consistency of story was the first thing to go if a good joke came up in the writers' room.

They've done the right thing at CBS in casting -- at least it seems right. Brooklyn native
Rosie Perez will play Lorna, Geena Davis' cop partner on the force in Exit 19. I say it's the right thing, and good casting, because Lorna is supposed to be a Brooklyn girl. You can't get more authentic than Rosie Perez. She's a New Yorker through and through. In

Mutt and Jeff. Continue reading Rosie Perez signed for Geena Davis pilot

According to Cinematical, director
John Singleton believes that the perfect actor to play the role of "Howling Mad" Murdock in his upcoming movie version of the 80's action series
The A Team is none other than Woody Harrelson. As a former
A Team watcher, I can see that.
Harrelson does have that subtle lunatic vibe that Dwight Schultz was able to project so well before he became Lieutenant Barclay on
Star Trek: The Next Generation. He's shown this in some of his movies such as
Natural Born Killers.
