Premise
Successful jingle writer Charlie has never had
to worry about anybody but himself. That is
until Alan, his soon-to-be-divorced younger
brother, and Jake, Alan’s 10-year-old son, move
in and turn this playboy’s world upside down
|
|
The
1998/1999 ABC sitcom Brother’s Keeper
told the story of a responsible father living
with his irresponsible brother
|
|
Familiar
Faces
Charlie Sheen (Spin City), Jon Cryer
(The Famous Teddy Z), Holland Taylor
(Bosom Buddies)
|
Our
Take
Two and a Half Men has one of the most
coveted time slots on Television (after Everybody
Loves Raymond) as well as a recognizable
star. The only question is how the casting of
Holland Taylor (replacing a role played by Blythe
Danner) will impact the series
|
|
Expect
to Hear
"“Twelve
years and she just throws me out!…What was the
point of our wedding vows? – ’til death do us
part? Who died? Not me, not her."

Premise
From Jerry (CSI/Without a Trace) Bruckheimer
comes this modern day retelling of Romeo and
Juliet: Adam, the son of the Los Angeles D.A.,
falls madly in love with Jewel, the daughter
of a wealthy businessman. Unfortunately, the
D.A. has vowed to bring down Jewel’s father
|
|
Romeo
and Juliet meet Mr. District Attorney
|
|
Familiar
Faces
Ron Silver (The West Wing), Rachel Ticotin
(Con Air/Total Recall)
|
Our
Take
Skin is a poor name for this modern-day
Romeo and Juliet story. Additionally, the tough
competition from Raymond and Monday
Night Football could counter the Bruckheimer
hit factor
|
|
Expect
to Hear
"You
know when you go out with somebody for the first
time, there’s this overwhelming feeling of hope."

NBC
--- Hour Drama --- Monday --- 9:00 PM
|
|
Premise
This drama follows the lives of an elite surveillance
team employed to maintain the security of one
of Las Vegas’ largest casinos
|
|
The
short-lived 1979 series Big Shamus, Little
Shamus featured a behind-the-scenes look
at casino security (albeit at an Atlantic City
hotel)
|
|
Familiar
Faces
Movie actor James Caan, Vanessa Marcil (Beverly
Hills 90210), Model Molly Sims, Nikki Cox
(Unhappily Ever After)
|
Our
Take
Las Vegas will face a great deal of competition
from Raymond and Monday Night Football.
Additionally, NBC’s success has been limited
to sleeper hits (such as Third Watch) in this
timeslot in recent years
|
|
Expect
to Hear
"Surveillance
and Security – the eyes of Vegas. We see everything…and
I mean everything."

Premise
Eve stars in this urban comedy as Shelly,
a strong and intelligent woman trying to navigate
the world of love and career with J.T., her
new boyfriend. The series features (Coupling-style)
her relationship discussions with her friends
inter-crossed with his conversations with
his friends
|
|
Girlfriends
meets He Said, She Said
|
|
Familiar
Faces
Singer Eve
|
Our
Take
Based on the pilot, Eve looks like it will
fit in nicely with UPN’s Monday night urban
comedy line-up. Plus, having a recognizable
star in singer Eve will not hurt
|
|
Expect
to Hear
"You’re
our P.R. person – it doesn’t stand for Pretty
and Rude."

Familiar
Faces
William Sadler (Roswell)
|
Our
Take
Based on past history, it is unlikely that
this quirky show will maintain Joe Millionaire’s
audience. The real issue is how well the show
ends up being executed. Quirky Ally McBeal
lasted years in this time slot; however,
the network has yet to be able to duplicate
that success
|
|
Expect
to Hear
"Life
can be sort of peaceful when you stop struggling."
