Close To Home probeweise am Freitag während der Sweeps

Annoyed, perhaps, that Friday was its only Jerry Bruckheimer-free night of the week, CBS is swapping freshman dramas "Threshold" and "Close to Home" for a November sweeps test run.

Starting this Friday (Nov. 11), "Close to Home" will move into the 9 p.m. slot after "Ghost Whisperer." The trial will run for two weeks. "Threshold" won't take over at 10 p.m. on Tuesdays until Nov. 22 (a two-hour "Amazing Race" is set for 11/8 and the CMAs are in place on 11/15), but will remain there the following week.

If these alternative time slots prove successful, CBS could make the moves permanent.

Neither "Threshold" nor "Close to Home" has been a failure for CBS, but neither drama has achieved quite the level of viewership the network had hoped for.

"Close to Home" has averaged just under 10 million weekly viewers, holding on to most of the 10.8 million people who watch "Amazing Race" each week. That's not bad, but CBS cancelled venerable drama "Judging Amy" (nearly 10.6 million viewers) in hopes of finding a younger Tuesday night audience. "Home" has fallen short of that goal.

Best of all, the move will give CBS a Bruckheimer produced series on Sunday ("Cold Case"), Monday ("CSI: Miami"), Tuesday ("Amazing Race"), Wednesday ("CSI: NY"), Thursday ("CSI: Original Flavor," "Without a Trace"), Friday ("Close to Home") and Saturday (whatever procedural repeats CBS decides to trot out). That's pretty impressive.

Anthony Head wieder als Transvestit?

Richard E. Grant will Tony in seinem nächsten Film wieder als Transvestiten besetzen!

Anthony Head spielt derzeit zusammen mit Richard E Grant in London's West End in Simon Gray's "Otherwise Engaged". Nun wollen sie auch bei einem von geschriebenen Film zusammenarbeiten in dem Tony einen Transvestiten spielen soll.

"Die Story dreht sich darum was wirklich am Set eines Films vorgeht, nicht die veröffentlichten PR Versionen," so Grant.

"Ich brauche einen Innenarchitekten und einen Masseur, aber ich würde wirklich gerne Tony als Transvestiten Regieanweisungen geben, darum versuche ich einen Charakter einzuarbeiten." so Grant. "Ich mag Richard. Es wäre toll von ihm geführt zu werden. Und ich habe gute Beine."
