Nancy Kaszerman/ZUMAPress.com, Tony Barson/WireImage.comCBS chief Nina Tassler dished a few tidbits at this morning's TCA exec session for the Eye. Dig in!
Eyewitness Report
- Look for a CSI–Without a Trace crossover ep this season. William Petersen and Anthony LaPaglia will appear in each other's series on the same night. (Sweeps move?)
- There will be hints about the identity of the mother this season on How I Met Your Mother.
- Tony Scott, he of 360-degree-helicopter-shot movie-directing fame, is helming the season premiere of Numb3rs. (His bro Ridley’s production company is behind the series.)
- As I previously reported in the chat, the network is high on developing mythology this year on Ghost Whisperer, so we’ll soon discover that Jim and Melinda didn’t choose Grandview, but rather Grandview chose Jim and Melinda.
- On this season on Cold Case there will be an ep with music from the musical sensation Nirvana.
- Apparently CSI franchise creator Anthony Zuiker is a geek for Second Life, so this season on CSI: NY they’re doing an ep that uses that neo-virtual reality environment to solve a crime.
- Jake starts junior high this year on Two and a Half Men. Awww...they grow up so fast.
Quote of the Moment
"I think creative differences is a euphemism for personal issues."
