I think CSI NY is awful.

It's the worst of the three.

Carol Mendelsohn, CSI showrunner and ex-Melrose, really did a great job with the original one — I didn't expect it to last this long.

Slim pickings.

Enrique Murciano joins Shonda Rhimes pilot

"Without a Trace" alum Enrique Murciano has been tapped as a lead in the Shonda Rhimes-produced ABC drama pilot "Off the Map."

The project revolves around three doctors, each anxious for a fresh start. They leave the comfort of the States to work at an isolated tropical clinic where they face both exotic and unusual medical challenges as well as personal ones.

Murciano will play one of the three MDs, a former plastic surgeon who relocates to the tropic clinic run by a doctor played by recently cast Martin Henderson.

"Grey's Anatomy" co-exec producer Jenna Bans wrote the script and is executive producing with Rhimes and Betsy Beers for ABC Studios.

Murciano played Detective Danny Taylor on CBS' crime drama "Without a Trace" for the show's seven-year run.

He is repped by Gersh and Untitled.

Out of all of these proposed new shows I think "The Killing" sounds like the best one! I've read a synopsis about the Danish version of the show (entitled "Forbrydelsen") and it sounds a lot to me like a crime/mystery soap with the various suspects, red-herrings, and whodunnits. And I love it how three other separate storylines will tie in with the murder. That makes for a lot of intrigue. Political intrigue is also supposed to play a big part in this show. One article described it as a cross between "Prime Suspect" and "The Wire".

Wasn't there a show exactly like Generation Y- where the characters in present day are trying to figure out who recently murdered a beloved classmate?

Reunion.

I wonder why no one got the idea of creating a primetime soap set in the Wall Street banking world. Very topical, du jour, plenty of storyline possibilities, ample character possibilities...

I was expecting one.

Perhaps they're waiting to see how Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps will do, or at least waiting to capitalize on its intended success. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar pilot popped up after its release.

Could be.

Forget Wall Street. I was terribly interested in ABC's pilot from a few years ago, Sold, which had Judith Light as the HBIC of a family-run real estate agency. I had high hopes for it, but it wasn't picked up.

There was one - Darren Star created The $treet in 2000. I was disappointed when it was cancelled because I really liked the cast.

Oh, I forgot about that one!

AMS, that Judith Light show sounds good. I don't watch Ugly Betty but it looks like she plays a pretty fierce character on there. She also had a VERY short-lived sitcom where she played a Martha Stewart type, she and Jean Smart both had shows like that one season IIRC. Never caught either.

I remember that! About an ex-Navy guy who's now a stock broker on WS. Too bad many of Darren's shows got cancelled during/around that time.

Yeah and Jeannie Garth was brought on as a Special Guest Star to boost ratings. It had a nice cast. Adam Goldberg and Jennifer Connelly were in it. I'd love to revisit that show.

Pilot is on YouTube:

And I've just found out that Jesse Alexander's (ex-Heroes) Day One has been downgraded to some kind of two-hour movie, which will have a kind of unresolved ending allowing it to roll into a full-blown TV series...
