Critic's Notebook: CBS at TCA

It's a different situation at CBS, which has such a stable and successful prime-time schedule that there's little need for midseason replacements (only a few have been announced so far, and none has generated any real buzz). At the summer TCA press tour, we're definitely talking about what's up on CBS this fall — but once again, it has almost nothing to do with the new product. (Even in a more normal year, it would be hard to get worked up about shows like Unforgettable absence, Tassler observed, "You've got a tremendous amount of weight and effort being put into this episode," while choosing not to confirm the rumored details of the premiere's storyline. More to the point, she stressed, "The mystery is a part of the marketing." And the marketing at this point didn't include a press conference while they're still busy polishing what's bound to be a ratings blockbuster come September. crime squad: veteran TV star Ted Danson , who appeared on a panel alongside Marg Helgenberger (who insists this will be her last season, having declared the same a year ago), George Eads and the show's producers. Danson's character of D.B. Bennett, unveiled in an appealing clip that shows him disarming a reluctant child witness with a magic trick, is a far cry from his predecessors. Producers described him as more of a Sherlock than a "science nerd" (a la Gil Grissom), as well as a rarity in this world, a well-adjusted family man (unlike the broken, brooding wet blanket of Ray Langston). "Here's this character who has things really in balance: family, work, job, life. And I think that's sort of the key right now for us," said exec producer Don McGill. In other words, he'll lighten things up in hopes of jump-starting the aging show as it makes a critical move from Thursdays to Wednesday at 10/9. 's Michael Patrick King co-created the show with stand-up "It Girl" Whitney Cummings (who stars in her own self-titled NBC sitcom this fall, which isn't nearly as fresh). King said he conducted a "Scarlett O'Hara" style talent search — not for his stars, but for his co-writer. Of Cummings, he gushed: "She's smart, she's incredibly ambitious, has great discipline and thinks like a writer and writes really hard jokes like a stand-up." Maybe too hard. Some critics took exception to the pilot's crass ethnic stereotyping, especially of the girls' Korean-immigrant boss, among some of the cruder gags.
