["ALMOST PARADISE is described as THE BLUE LAGOON meets GILLIGAN'S
ISLAND. Its logline reads: 'Just your everyday, normal married couple
facing all the everyday, normal challenges of being stranded on a desert
island for decades. Think BLUE LAGOON, the family sitcom."]

Brooke Shields is not the draw for a BLUE LAGOON show the way she once was.

Fox's THE CLEANING LADY Adds Patricia De Leon, Robert Cicchini & Lea
Salonga to Season 4  (March 18)

The only reason to add Salonga to anything is if she's gonna sing something.
She has the most incredible voice I've ever heard, but she not much of an
actress.

LAW & ORDER & SVU Set Crossover Episode; ORGANIZED CRIME to Air
Season 5 Premiere on NBC  (March 18)

Well, it's about damn time. And I guess Olivia will get to do her emotional
vampire schtick with Price and Maroun this time around.

Jewel Staite Joins Cast of RESIDENT ALIEN for Season 4 [Syfy]  (March 20)

This has been gone so long I just assumed it had been canceled. These shows
are now going so long between seasons that the subsequent season is more of a
revival of the show than a continuation of it.

I can't imagine how this affects the actors, who either have to sit around for
years with no work, or try taking on other projects hoping they won't conflict
with the series they're already under contract to when the producers finally
get off their asses and start making the next season.

PRISON BREAK to Reunite MAYANS M.C. Stars Clayton Cardenas & JR
Bourne with Elgin James; Myles Bullock & Georgie Flores also Board
(March 21)

What about the head of Sarah Wayne Callies in a box? Will they be reunited
with that, too?
