Live From Pasadena, CBS Kicks Off Network Week at TCA
Greetings from Pasadena! I'm down here for the Summer installment of the TCA press tour, which gives TV critics from around the country a chance to hobnob with television stars, writers, and creators. After some cable events last week, the network portion of the tour kicked off this morning with CBS.
Laurence Fishburne Has His Eye on CSI
One of the big questions back at the TCA press tour was what CSI would look like without its leading man, William Petersen, who's leaving this season. Here's our first big clue: Laurence Fishburne is in talks to step in as the new male lead.
He'd be getting a pretty meaty role, too.
CBS Boss Talks Vampires, Swingers, and CSI Sans Petersen
Nina Tassler was the third network executive of the week to take the stage at the TCA press tour today, and she shed some light on the departure of Moonlight, the future of Swingtown, and what CSI will look like sans William Petersen. Some highlights:
- To help fill the hole on CSI left by Petersen's departure later this season, Tassler said the producers plan to introduce a new character with "an interesting genetic profile" that is comparable to that found in many serial killers. His character is on something of a journey of self-discovery, she said.
Sesame Street Spoofs CSI
When there's rhyme in the streets, it's time for RSI: Rhyme Scene Investigation. These folks need to head over to the nearest spoken word event, if you asked me. (I love the David Caruso Muppet, y'all, and he's just as smug as the original!)

TV Tonight: The New Thursday
Last season, Thursday was the night I rarely budged from my couch, what with TV serving up a lovely cocktail of "Ugly Betty" plus "The Office" with a splash of "Grey's Anatomy" on top. This season's Thursday is already looking crowded, and several of the shows that make it such a blockbuster night — "30 Rock" and "Scrubs" on NBC, "Supernatural" on The CW — aren't even coming back just yet.
The rest are, though, starting with "Ugly Betty," which had one of the craziest cliffhangers of the spring.
Which of Tonight's Finales Will Be the Best?
A ton of great shows wrap up their seasons tonight: "The Office," "Scrubs" and "ER" on NBC, "CSI" on CBS, "Ugly Betty" and "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC, and "Smallville" and "Supernatural" on the CW. That's a lot of cliffhangers! Weddings, divorces, deaths ...

When New Year's rolls around, I often find myself getting ready for — and recovering from — my night out with nothing but football on the tube.

These times should be good for the Eastern and Pacific time zones, but be sure to check your own listings!
