Thanks for ...No, I hadn't noticed the L&O diaspora. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm sure those shows have been plundered for years for show runners, unless they've all been there all along and are suddenly leaving en masse. I'll definitely study further. Yep, TV is the new movie -- and can be a lot more profitable, especially when they just have to get the ball rolling and make money for years if they get lucky. And don't forget Bruckheimer and all his CSIs -- that's been a blessing for the movies no doubt since they've kept him busy. <BR/><BR/>But I don't really think all the shows sound good. An immortal who fights crime? A vampire who fightsd crime? Ok, that one could be interesting but like most movies and TV shows and books, 95% of them are complete crap. It's just easier to pretend they won't be before you actually see them.Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1170378665214354772007-02-01T20:11:00.000-05:002007-02-01T20:11:00.000-05:00An email response:I was mildly curious so I clicke...An email response:<BR/><BR/>I was mildly curious so I clicked on the link from your blog to HR story <BR/>on new pilots.<BR/>Did you notice that three pilots are coming from former Dick Wolf L&O <BR/>people?<BR/>ABC -- Suspect, Ed Zuckerman<BR/>NBC -- Ft.
