TV Casting Roundup: "Lights," "Life," "CSI: Miami"

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:33:15 -0700

A former "Friday Night Lights" guest star is headed to NBC's "Life." Brooke Langton, a "Melrose Place" alum who briefly played Tim Riggins' love interest on "FNL," will play a defense attorney who helped free the main character, a cop wrongfully convicted of murder.
Speaking of "Friday Night Lights," remember those new recurring characters that the cast and producers told me about last week? Actors have been found for two of them. Glenn Morshower will leap from the Secret Service on "24" to the local police force in Dillon as Landry's father, a state champion football player-turned-cop. (Sounds like he's right for the part: According to IMDb, he's played at least 53 law enforcement or military roles.) Daniella Alonso of "One Tree Hill," meanwhile, will play the live-in nurse hired to help Matt take care of his grandmother. No word on who will play the new Panthers coach yet, though.
Rory Cochrane, whose "CSI" character was (presumably) shot and killed in the line of duty three years ago, will somehow be returning to the show. Spooky!
In other CBS casting news, Kerr Smith of "Dawson's Creek" and Bess Wohl of "Shark" will jump to "CSI: NY", while "NYPD Blue"'s Esai Morales will be turning up on "Jericho."

Stop One Show: The Results!

BuzzSugar — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 09:02:06 -0700

Three weeks ago, I launched BuzzSugar's first Stop One Show poll, which gave all of you a chance to vote on which show you'd most like to kick off the air to make room for something better. After more than 1,600 votes, it doesn't look like anything will catch up to the current leader. So I'm calling an end to the poll and declaring a winner — er, loser? — of the 2007 Stop One Show contest: "CSI: Miami"!

The silliest of all the "CSI" shows pulled ahead late in the second week of the poll and never looked back. I'm not sure what sparked the sudden hatred of Horatio Caine and his crew, but whatever the reason, this dubious honor is certainly well-deserved.

"CSI: Miami" wasn't a sure winner this whole time, though. "Ghost Whisperer" sprung out to an early lead and held it until "The War at Home" haters arrived. "War" stayed in front for a while, until "CSI: Miami" surged ahead. Several other shows were never far behind, though, so to read more about the results and watch a truly amazing clip from our "winner,"

Stop One Show!

BuzzSugar — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 23:29:54 -0700

It's the time of year when the networks start plotting their schedules for next season, checking out new pilots and deciding what shows to bring back. It's always a frustrating time for me, as I wonder why so many terrible shows make it back year after year.

At the end of the week, we'll learn the winner of Kristin Veitch's annual Save One Show campaign, which will help boost the winning show's chances of renewal. Meanwhile, I'm starting a poll of my own: the Stop One Show contest.

If you could pull one show from the air to make room for a quality series, which would it be? Unlike Kristin, I don't have the ear of the networks, so I can't promise that your vote will do anything to get the winner (loser?) kicked off the air. But I do promise to write about the show with all the ire and vitriol it deserves.

I've stocked the poll with some of my least-faves, limiting the candidates to scripted series only; I don't think I could possibly choose just one reality series to cancel. And I'm sticking with the broadcast networks' primetime shows; sorry, but "Pimp My Ride" and "Maury" don't count. Obviously, this is all in good fun, so if I've listed your favorite show among the candidates, please don't take it personally. You can vote here, but first you can check out the candidates if you
