CBS Goes With
Vampires And Nerds For Fall!! Jury Still Out On The Zombies!!

I am – Hercules!!
CBS has four new hourlongs and a new sitcom coming to its schedule this autumn.
New hourlongs: “Moonlight,” from writer-producer Ron Koslow (CBS’ “Beauty and the Beast”), is about a vampire who makes his living as a private detective. No word on whether his firm is called “Angel Investigations” or not. Alex O'Loughlin (“The Invisible”) stars. “Cane,” from writer-producer Cynthia Cidre (“Fires Within,” “Mambo Kings”) is about a powerful Latino family that runs a rum business in South Florida. Jimmy Smits (“The West Wing”) stars. “Laughlin,” a musical (!) from writer-producer Bob Lowry (“Huff”), is about a guy who dreams of opening a Nevada casino. It’s based on the Brit show “Blackpool.” IMDb says Hugh Jackman’s in it, along with Madchen Amick (“Twin Peaks,” “ER”), Wings Hauser (“The Insider”) and D.B. Woodside (“24”). “Swingtown,” from writer-producer Mike Kelley (“The OC,” “Jericho”), is and “Ice Storm”-ish drama about suburban wife-swappers in the swinging 1970s. It stars Molly Parker (“Deadwood”) and Grant Show (“Point Pleasant,” “Dirt”).
The new sitcom: “Big Bang,” from writer-producers Chuck Lorre & Bill Prady (“Two and A Half Men”), is about a party girl who befriends a bunch of nerds, so it’s not dissimilar to “Beauty and the Geek.” It stars Kelly Cuoco (“Eight Simple Rules”) and Johnny Galecki (“Roseanne”).
No word yet on “Babylon Fields,” the hourlong zombie comedy-drama starring Ray Stevenson (“Rome”) and Amber Tamblyn (“Joan of Arcadia”). CBS announces its fall schedule Wednesday. The Hollywood Reporter has an update here.
