Summer has been added to the cast of CBS's "The Unit" as the girlfriend of the newest team member.

As Husband and I watch "The Unit", this could be a pretty decent role for Summer. The wives play an integral part of the storyline; they aren't just background characters.

I'm already a fan of "The Unit" too.This just gives me one more reason to watch.

Congratulations to Summer.
Hope she gets some juicy scenes
to sink her teeth into.
But no more crazy stuff.
That has blighted other careers.
Ditzy would be okay.
Or terribly practical and dead serious.
Or wispy and romantic.
I can see her doing any of those, and
more.

I think they may be trying to appeal to slightly younger viewers.
I wouldn't be surprised if The Unit skews "too old" for some advertisers.
(Darn, that makes me feel ancient. "I'm not old, I'm 38" she said in a Monty Python voice)

That being said, I think Summer's addition will be a very interesting twist.

Shiny news for Summer!

On a semi-related note, could someone give me a review of this show? I haven't been watching it, but I've been hearing good things.

If I remember correctly one of the team members was NOT renewing his membership with the team. You know, the one who's wife was cheating on him with his boss?

Quickie Overview:

The Unit is an ultra secret unit within the Army who carry out covert missions around the world. They aren't above the law, but they are not under posse commitatus in some scenarios. Their wives all know their "secret" but are sworn to protect their husband's cover.

It's well written, and the action sequences are believable. I like the show and the storyline.
