http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dennis-quaid-michael-chiklis-cbs-ralph-lamb-294707 The casting alone probably pushes this show to the front of the line, but since it's CBS there's a possibility that this could end up being another generic crime drama for them. Or if it's unique, it won't fit in with anything else in their lineup (except possibly Person of Interest) and becomes early toast.
Re: Dennis Quaid goes to TV -- 60s Vegas crime drama w/ Michael Chikli If they can make the episodes slightly procedural, that could help it, IMO.
Re: Dennis Quaid goes to TV -- 60s Vegas crime drama w/ Michael Chikli sounds a bit like the old 80s series Crime Story.
Re: Dennis Quaid goes to TV -- 60s Vegas crime drama w/ Michael Chikli With those two in the lead, this demands to be watched.
Re: Dennis Quaid goes to TV -- 60s Vegas crime drama w/ Michael Chikli Yep. With a smattering of Justified. Still, with Quaid and Chiklis in the leads and the involvement of Nicholas Pileggi and James Mangold, this sounds like something to look forward to.
Re: Dennis Quaid goes to TV -- 60s Vegas crime drama w/ Michael Chikli The show sounds like it has potential. I've learned most everything really comes down to execution but it has solid building blocks. If only CBS had one or two of those, they'd be huge!
