You're reading PILOT BUZZ CENTRAL!
#25 CASHMERE MAFIA
Who picked it up? ABC
When does it air? Tuesdays, 9/8 p.m. (after Dancing with the Stars ends in mid-November)
Who stars? Lucy Liu, Bonnie Somerville, Frances O'Connor, and more!
Why should you care? The stars have chemistry and then some. You get a sense that they really like each other. And they are HOT! This show will make another series that the ABC gays and gals will flock to...
Why should you worry? ...if they can just turn up the heat a bit. The original script was reportedly filled with ridiculous comedic moments. This resulted in some touch ups where the show became more serious. Serious is okay... but throw in some spice, too! After all, it does star Lucy Liu!
Bottom line? ABC may be bumping Boston Legal for an early Cashmere launch (figuring BL has an incredibly loyal fanbase who will return to the show in November whereas Cashmere is a new show that people may not be in the mood to try). What will drive the decision? ABC has ordered some naughty scripts as well as some tamer ones. If the naughty scripts rule, then watch Cashmere premiere after Dancing with the Stars in the fall. If the zest isn't best, we'll likely have to wait for these girls.
