Cougar Town - Casting News

2009-10-30T19:30:00.002Z

Maybe Jules is maturing: Courteney Cox’s new Cougar Town scratching post is the darn-close-to-age-appropriate Scott Foley.

The Unit secret agent has signed on to appear in three episodes as a businessman being shown some houses — and, presumably, one bedroom in particular — by our randy realtor heroine.

How’d the casting coup come about? Well, you’ll recall that Foley was a frequent guest star on Scrubs, which just happens to be the last hitcom overseen by Cougar Town mayor Bill Lawrence. So the dots are pretty easy to connect, no?
In any case, what do you think? Is Foley a step up from Nick Zano’s Josh? Is he a believable delaying tactic until the inevitable Jules/Grayson hook-up? Sound off below.

Cougar Town - Lisa Kudrow to Guest

2009-10-27T17:38:00.005Z

It’s not an actual Friends reunion, but I’ll take it: Lisa Kudrow has signed on to guest star opposite ex-Friend Courteney Cox on Cougar Town, an ABC spokesperson confirms.

“She’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though [she's] mean to me,” Cox told tvguidemagazine.com.
The Cox-Kudrow reunion episode will shoot next month and air in early 2010.

Melrose Place - Casting News

2009-10-27T15:28:00.001Z

Melrose Place’s “fun and sexy” new makeover has a face — and it’s a pretty one at that.

Nick Zano, who’s currently playing Courteney Cox’s boy-toy on Cougar Town, is in talks to join The CW reboot as a pseudo-replacement for Colin Egglesfield’s dark, brooding Auggie, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Zano would be playing a doctor who works with Lauren (Stephanie Jacobsen) and Michael (Thomas Calabro) at Wilshire Memorial. In an interview last week, executive producer Todd Slavkin described the character as “irreverent and funny… He will move into the [apartment] building. He doesn’t take life very seriously. Medicine can be very fun as well as serious to him, and he ends up lightening up Lauren.”

I’m told Zano’s Melrose gig wouldn’t interfere with his Cougar Town commitment since he recently shot his final episode of the ABC comedy.
Reaction to Melrose’s (likely) new hire?

FlashForward lures in the Advertisers

2009-10-27T08:24:00.001Z

Around this time every year, Advertising Age posts a juicy charticle of commercial ad rates that may be the bane of the broadcast networks, but is an excellent bellwether of what new (and old) shows are resonating with Madison Avenue. This year’s report certainly doesn’t disappoint: of all the new shows out this fall, ABC’s FlashForward looks to be commanding the richest, per-30-second rate ($175,724, to be exact) while Fox’s animated The Cleveland Show ($158,701) is the most expensive new comedy for advertisers. But cry not for the block of promising new laughers on ABC Wednesdays: the network’s Modern Family has managed to snag more than $130,388 per 30-second spot, the report says, while Cougar Town is scratching up a respectable $103,314 (CBS’ Two and A Half Men is the most expensive sitcom in prime time at $226,635). Most surprising development this season? How much the still-growing No. 1 drama NCIS generates in ad time ($133,304) versus the No. 5 ranked Grey’s Anatomy ($240,462). We know, we know – the demographics are very different on each drama but there’s no arguing that Michael Weatherly is just as easy on the eyes as Patrick Dempsey.

Perhaps the most startling revelation to come out of this year’s ad roundup is what NBC is charging for ads during The Jay Leno Show. As one of the cheapest new shows of the season, the hour-long chatfest generates anywhere from $48,803 per on a Friday to $62,012 on Wednesday nights – certainly not the kind of fees that NBC was commanding when it ran scripted dramas in the time slot last season. Even the poorly-performing Heroes ($108,675) drums up better business for NBC, as does The Biggest Loser ($128,295) and, of course, Sunday Night Football ($339,700).

Lie To Me - 3 More Scripts Ordered

2009-10-20T10:19:00.002+01:00

Fox has ordered three additional scripts from sophomore drama "Lie to Me."

Because the show was a midseason replacement, the crime procedural, which launched behind "American Idol," received a 13-episode second-season pickup.

In its sophomore year, "Lie to Me," helmed by new showrunner Shawn Ryan, has been off to a soft ratings start on Mondays, regularly shedding a significant chunk of its "House" lead-in.

In the past several years, the broadcast networks regularly ordered additional scripts in lieu of straight back-nine orders.

This fall, sophomore "Glee," veteran "One Tree Hill" and freshmen "NCIS: Los Angeles," "The Good Wife," "Modern Family," "Cougar Town" and "FlashForward" all received back-nine episodic orders, with only two series, the CW's new entries "Vampire Diaries" and "Melrose Place," landing script orders instead.
