I'm very intrigued by the Gary Sinese CSI stuff. I've always liked him, and would by interested in what he could do with the part.

If it's on Fox, it has the chance to be very juicy.

Gary Sinise and CSI - sounds intriguing.

Sounds like Las Vegas only in Hawaii, though.

What happened to Selleck and CSI:NY? Is that rumor dead now?

"Jersey Girl," the TV series.

Just add Gary Sinese to CSI: Miami and dump Caruso.

... or the Hawaiian version of Arthur Haley's Hotel. with an emphasis on sex & skin.

For those who are wondering, Mike Erwin played Colin Hart.

I'd have to see the rest of cast to make a decision on this one. But if he's gonna be Major West... he's kind of young...

for Gary Sinise, Tim Daly and Jeff Goldblum - I'm looking forward to watching all 3 on the small screen.

CSI: New York? Boy, ABC better get going and bring out Alias: FBI, Alias: ATF and Alias: CTU or else it's going to be the only one of the big three networks that doesn't pad its schedule with uninspired reworkings of a hit show.

I prefer selleck to sinise for the csi role.

selleck at least has some humour to him.

I read today that grissom is big time pissed and won't renew his contract after the end of the 04-05 season. although how true that is I don't know

Don't forget:

NYPD Blue: Chicago
LA Law: Omaha

He's been pissed since they made CSI:Miami.

Here's tvguide.com on his contract

I read the Petersen Playboy 20 Questions article. He really came off as a conceited bitter a-hole. Not only did he rip Bruckheimer and CBS for Miami, he went after the producers of Silence of the Lambs/Manhunter/Red Dragon.

Petersen is also executive producer of the 1st CSI show, so he could sit back and watch the money roll in even if he isn't on the show.

I may have a real problem with that Oahu series. Mainly the same problems I had with any show outside of Magnum PI and Hawaii 5-0, where are the local people?

There weren't many local people in Baywatch Hawaii, Hawaiian Heat, Birds of Paradise, One West Waikiki.. there better be a buncha local people working in that hotel. Not just one or two.

"Mike Erwin ("Everwood") will play Major Don West in The WB's "The Robinsons: Lost in Space" remake" just watched all 28 episodes for the first season of the original LOST IN SPACE this week on dvd.great stuff better than I remembered.

Will Peterson, Gary Sinise....why not just make it CSI:Chicago so these guys don't have to leave there home town!

Some of those pilots sound interesting though.....but it is TV so chances of at least one being very good are somewhat bad.
