TV Dweebing on a Monday
EDITOR'S NOTE: FIRST UP, SOME BAD NEWS FOR ODDBOB AND HIS FAVORITE TV SHOW.....
A Revolting DEVELOPMENT
Ominous news for funniest-show-on-television ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT this week: Fox has trimmed this season's episode order from 22 to 18.
Combined with the show's continued and frustrating lack ratings, as well as Fox's plans to drop AMERICAN DAD into AD's timeslot this Spring, it seems to suggest a troubled future for the Show…if any future at all.
On the other hand, at least it made it through two seasons rather than dying an even-more-premature death like similar off-the-wall Fox comedies like THE TICK or ANDY RICHTER CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE. EDITOR'S NOTE: ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN, I GUESS, HUH BOB? (I MEAN.....IT'S ON FOX. SO YOU KNEW IT COULDN'T LAST, RIGHT?)
Landau at Crime Scene
Martin Landau and Orlando Jones have been signed to star in the ABC drama pilot "Evidence." Landau and Jones will play two homicide detectives who investigate murders by putting all of the evidence together and then constructing the crime.
The show will be produced by John Wells Prods. and Warner Bros. TV. EDITOR'S NOTE: MARTIN LANDAU RETURNING TO SERIES TV? NIFTY! WEIRD PAIRING, THOUGH.
Levinson puts weight behind '3 Lbs.' at CBS
Oscar winner Barry Levinson has come on board to direct CBS' drama pilot "3 Lbs."
In pilot pickup news, UPN has given the green light to two Touchstone TV comedies: "Friends in the AM," exec produced by Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and "20 Things to Do Before You're 30," based on the British series of the same name.
Meanwhile, CBS and ABC have ordered additional episodes of "Numbers" and "8 Simple Rules," respectively.
"3 Lbs.," from Paramount Network TV and writer-exec producer Peter Ocko, is a medical drama revolving around brain surgeons.
