"Huh, a quarter. I'll take that."
...Starz is still trying to get on the premium cable prestige bandwagon with another original series. This one is called Gravity, a half-hour dramedy that will star Ving Rhames, Krysten Ritter, Ivan Sergei, and model Rachel Hunter. It's about a bunch of suicide survivors, and was co-created by the unpleasant Eric Schaeffer (If Lucy Fell), who will, of course, co-star. Admittedly, this sounds a lot more interesting than any of Starz's other shows. [THR]
...Yay! The next season of one the best shows currently running, HBO's Big Love, will premiere on January 10. Ohh, and Sissy Spacek is doing an arc on the show as a Washington lobbyist. Innnnteresting. [Variety]
...ABC has ordered 13 episodes of a crime drama called The Gates, about a seemingly placid gated suburban community that, of course, turns out to be more than meets the eye. So it's basically like the upcoming Happy Town mixed with Real Housewives of Orange County. For some reason this makes me think about Sam Neill guesting on RHoOC and that is a pleasing thought. [THR]
...Either she just really missed the creatively stimulating environment, or Jorja Fox needs the down payment for a houseboat. Whatever the reason, her current return to CSI has been extended from five episodes to "indefinitely." Must be a pretty nice houseboat. [EW]
...Showtime has picked up the torch in the longtime relay race to get an American version of the UK's popular drama Shameless on the air. And it looks like they're going to take it across the finish line. William H. Macy is signed on to play the alcoholic patriarch of a struggling Chicago family, while the all-important role of 18-year-old daughter Fiona has not yet been cast. [THR]
...OK, turn off the doomsday clock. We've finally won. After four years of sucking Americans' souls out through our eyeballs and slack-jawed mouths, the Fox Reality Channel will air its last flickering misery and end its broadcast next March. Though, of course, many of the reality shows that FRC aggregated and aired as reruns will still continue to be produced. So. Battle, won. War, not at all over. Turn that clock back on. Sigh. [THR]

She was actually asked back, not coming back for a downpayment on a boat.. she has more than enough money to do that.. what a nice thing to say about Jorja =/ I'm glad she's back, certainly got me watching the show again, now all they need is Grissom back and I'll be watching every epi, not just the odd one that Sara is in...
It's great Jorja's back but I think the series should be finish.
I've stopped watching since ep9 of the previous season, when Grissom left. Sara coming back is good, I've always liked her. But I don't think her return alone will keep me in the show more than a couple epis, just to satisfy my curiosity. Like I wrote in my final CSI review, CSI without Grissom is simply not CSI...
Love to see Jorja back 'indefinitely'; my favorite character! Hopefully, Petersen will make an appearance now and then; he said he would, and this creates the opportunities. I think the season has been good so far. The ratings have improved some since the end of last season and seem to have stabilized. I think Sara's return has helped. I know I've started watching again.
it's very cool that Jorja is back
I am glad Jorja Fox stays on CSI.
I never thought I was going to say this but that is great for Sara!
I would much rather Grissom be back. Sara Sidle does nothing for me.
Awesome news about Jorja Fox!!
Jorja's return to the show is nothing more than an attempt to boost CSI's sagging ratings. The show doesn't need the return of Sara Sidle (as much as I like her character) it needs the return of Gil Grissom.
Good news about Jorja. I like Sara Sidle.
She's addicted..
Ugh, I've always hated Sara, since the start of the show. Fox is only back because she's a horrible actress and can't find other work.
Jorja Fox was the final nail in the coffin of this series for me...
Sarah's back!!
XO XO
:):):):)
So excited that Sara is back!
