I am – Hercules!!


Starz has given its widely despised TV-series version of “Crash” a second 13-episode season, but has demoted first-season showrunner Glen Mazzara (“Nash Bridges,” “The Shield”) to “consulting producer.” Which I’m guessing means he’s been deservedly banned from the writer’s room.

The show’s new showrunner is the great Ira Steven Behr, who also served as showrunner on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and “The 4400.” (Behr also co-wrote 1990’s brilliant “Yesterday’s Enterprise” episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”)

About half the cast, including Dennis Hopper, will survive into season two, and the series will focus less on members of the LAPD, according to the Tuesday-morning story in The Hollywood Reporter.
