Thanks for the quote and article.

I hope Matt is right and ABC really gives WMC a chance to succeed.

Hey y'all! I thought I would pass this along... Scott Michael Foster from the ABC Family series Greek (if you don't know of him, you should. He's amazing.) will apparently be in one episode playing a murder suspect. Credit to his official fanpage on myspace for the info.

I don't know him, but thanks for sharing.

Hmmm ... interesting. Thanks for the info.

MSN website had a snippet on their homepage this morning about new falls shows.

Nothing overt that we don't know ... but there is a clip to watch!

Wildfire Girl · 09-03-2007, 04:32 PM

No worries. I suspect we'll get more and more on different sites as the premiere nears ...

addicted2much · 09-04-2007, 06:32 AM

Definitely.

Susan , thanks for the scan.

Ah, thanks for scanning that Susan!

I imagine I'll get some info in my Entertainment Weekly soon. When I do, I'll share. (Though I can't scan)

Sorry for the DP, but a sort of review on if the show could work, and what doesn't work on the show.

Quote:

WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB (Fridays, 8 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4) is a very traditional TV crime/mystery drama — not that there's anything wrong with that.

Based on James Patterson's series of novels, the "Club" is four female friends who solve murders. At the center of the action is San Francisco police detective Lindsay Boxer (Angie Harmon of "Law & Order"). She gets help from medical examiner Clair Washburn (Paula Newsome of "Little Miss Sunshine"); assistant district attorney Jill Bernhardt (Laura Harris of "24"); and newspaper reporter Cindy Thomas (Aubrey Dollar of "Guiding Light").

It's sort of an updated "Murder, She Wrote" with four women — any two of whose ages add up to Angela Lansbury's age, more or less.

The crimes are pretty grisly — sort of "CSI" territory — but the mysteries are pretty good.

What's to like? Again, not every show has to break new ground. There's absolutely nothing wrong with refitting the old murder-mystery genre when it's as well done as it is here. You may find yourself sitting down in front of an episode, getting sucked in and watching from start to finish.

What's not to like? Having a newspaper reporter be a member of this club is sort of stupid. Reporters don't solve crimes, and the ethics of the character's involvement in all of this are questionable at best. But that's the sort of thing real lawyers say about TV lawyers and real doctors say about TV doctors — and this is entertainment, not documentary.

Will it work? These days, expectations are pretty low on Friday nights. And, given the relatively weak competition, this could do well enough that ABC will hang onto it.
