The Mouse Roars

ABC's showing was strong today, and it looks like they'll coast on the success of their existing hits. News of note regarding some of the shows on the fall schedule (and no I'm not talking about the Grey's spinoff today):

GOOD NEWS:

BIG SHOTS - About dysfunctional CEO's, it stars Michael Vartan AND Dylan McDermott. Setting my tivo NOW, though I have to admit I'm unsure how this differs from...

DIRTY SEXY MONEY - From the ABC press release "Power, privilege and family money are a volatile cocktail." The boys are not as cute on this show, though it does have Billy Baldwin.

CASHMERE MAFIA - ABC's answer to NBC's Lipstick Jungle. If you're keeping score, Lipstick Jungle is based on a Candace Bushnell book, just like Sex and the City was. Cashmere Mafia has nothing to do with Candace Bushnell, but it has Executive Producer Darren Star, who produced Sex and the City. Got it now? Later we can play the Kevin Bacon game!

BAD NEWS:
CAVEMEN - The show revolving around the Geico commercial characters is on the fall schedule.

WHAT ABOUT BRIAN is officially over. Damn you Barry Watson, why did you cut your hair?
