Who's in it and where you’ve seen them: From living out loud in “Thelma and Louise” to softball phenom in “A League of Their Own,” to the president of the United States in ABCs “Commander in Chief,” Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis has range to spare.
Who’s behind it: CBS and writer Michael Nankin, whose credits include writing for “Chicago Hope” and directing “Battlestar Galactica.” The rewrite falls to Jeff Bell, a writer on “Alias,” “Angel” and “The X-Files.”
Why you’ll watch: Geena Davis. She’s tall, she’s commanding, and we can’t wait to see what her “quirky” New York City homicide detective/single mom character will do.
Meant to Be’s
Who's in it and where you’ve seen them: You’ve seen Amy Smart as best friend to Ryan Reynolds in “Just Friends,” opposite Ashton Kutcher in “The Butterfly Effect,” and on the small screen in shows ranging from “Felicity” to “Scrubs.”
Who’s behind it: CBS Paramount and creator Glenn Gordon Caron, writer/producer for shows from “Medium” to “Moonlighting.”
Why you’ll watch: It’s the year of the blond: from Christina Applegate in “Samantha Who” to Judy Greer in “Miss Guided,” is there a trend in sitcom’s leading ladies? (Admittedly, when has it not been a good year to be a TV blond?) When Smart’s character loses out on life shortly after she elopes, she’s earthbound as a Meant to Be, helping others find their destiny before she can go to heaven.
'90210' spinoff
Who's in it and where you’ve seen them: The pilot has yet to be cast, but there are rumors that original cast member Tori Spelling, a.k.a. Donna Martin, is willing to make a comeback.
Who’s behind it: The CW, and “Veronica Mars” creator Rob Thomas is in talks to write. Word is that “90210” creator Darren Star is not involved in the project.
Why you’ll watch: Much like CW’s current hit “Gossip Girl,” it seems audiences cannot see enough of the dancing, drinking and drama of how kids with cash live.
