On the opening 'credits' it says "Close to Home stars Jennifer Finnigan ("The Bold and the Beautiful", "Committed")"
I would suggest a change to Close to Home stars Jennifer Finnigan ("Crossing Jordan", "Committed")
(edit) Famous actor Emilio Estevez directs the pilot episode of "Close to Home" as a deal he struck with CBS during pilot season. (edit) The series is set in the city of Indianapolis, but the show is filmed in Los Angeles. (edit) During the filming of the pilot actress Jennifer Finnigan (Annabeth Chase) was credited as a "lead guest-star." She was not a permanent fixture of the cast yet, as she was still under contract with NBC with her 2005 midseason series "Committed." When NBC didn't pick up "Committed" for a second season she was able to stay with the series "Close to Home" when CBS picked it up. (edit)

Annabeth: Why did she get promoted instead of me?
Steve: Because she's better qualified.
Annabeth: (scoffs) At what, kissing your butt?
Steve: Amoung other things.
Annabeth: I take three months maternity leave and she gets my promotion. That's discrimination.
Steve: No, that's reality Annabeth. (edit) Steve: Hey, how's the kid?
Annabeth: Oh, she's great, she's so beautiful, she's almost thirteen pounds....
Steve: You know Molly McNeal, she lives about six blocks from you, she's married and has two kids?
Annabeth: No, I don't think so.
Steve: Good, no conflict of interest. You've been drafted, you're up to bat.
Maureen: Whoa, whoa, wait, what's she accused of?
Steve: She tried to burn her house down with her kids in it. (edit) Maureen: Welcome back.
Annabeth: Thanks.
Maureen: So, how was maternity leave?
Annabeth: Great! Fanastic! Way to short.
Maureen: Short? You took of twelvel whole weeks.
Annabeth: I wasn't exactly lounging on the beach Maureen. (edit)
