After driving CSI into the ground with his attempts to play a person who is not stupid, let alone smart, Ted Danson will jump from the sunken ship of CSI to the spinoff with Crazy Old White Wommyn Patricia Arquette.

I've heard some of the dialogue on that show (Cyber) is horrid. Anyone watch it?

I have been able to successfully avoid the Crazy Old White Wommyn.

I can't. The promos for it were horrific. David Caruso bad. At least her lines were. Spoken w/ all the conviction and believability of first reading in the morning following and all night bender from the after-after party of a Hollywood awards show.

And I can't watch James Van der beek. Not in this wreck of a show, at least. He was likable in The B in Apt 23 , playing himself, so it's almost like I know him now. I'm kinda rooting for him. He's working, so that's good, but man, this is such an awful show, I hope he's able to find work after its demise.

Yes. A good gauge of which award shows to ignore.

Yep. If I love it, it's doomed. That's why I stopped watching Orphan Black. 2 seasons in, and I can't watch anymore. I want it to survive.

I'm in a bit of a pickle, with Dr Who. It's on, and I still want to watch.

I watched CSI off and on when William Petersen was there, he is such an awesome actor. I followed him from the movie Manhunter, which is a great psychological thriller a la Silence of the Lambs. I watched mainly because of him and Marg Helgenberger, and once he left the show, after 10 years, CSI went due south.

There are rumors he's returning for the show's finale, both he and Helgenberger.
So maybe there will be some smart writing for a change, there will definitely be some intelligent and talent-laden acting.

So there's a bit of good news - the show ending it's run and Petersen making an appearence. Now all we need is for our girl Melinda Clarke to show up and the circle will be complete.

I followed William L Petersen since To Live and Die in L.A.
Did you mean to say that Silence of the Lambs is the sequel to Manhunter? Or are you confused about that fact?
One of many reasons I loved Mulholland Falls: William L Petersen and Rob Lowe (very scarce and unpopular at that time) in their scenes to start the film and set the tone, and Melinda Clarke as well.

To be clear, none of the actors in this post are referred to in the title of thread, and I'm almost ashamed to include them under such heading - imagine the search results with such conflicting data.

No confusion here Jake, just comparing notes on great films that resonate tonally. Being that Silence was released in 1991, I would say that Manhunter (1986) was the precursor for the genre (and underappreciated for it's time). It set the tone, literally, for Silence. It is, beyond question, one of the top thrillers of our time.

Here is the movie's description as depicted on Rotten Tomatoes:

"Manhunter, a rough precursor to Silence of the Lambs (which was also based on a novel by Thomas Harris), follows an FBI agent (William Petersen) who brings maniacal killers to justice by duplicating their mindset. The agent's last case, Dr. Hannibal Lektor (played here by Brian Cox), caused his early retirement, but he reactivates himself to solve a mystery involving a killer who murders entire families. The movie, like the Thomas Harris novel, is also known as Red Dragon."

Written and directed by Michael Mann, it remains, for me, one of the scariest and suspenseful movies of all time. It was ahead of it's time, and just 5 years later Jonathan Demme directs perhaps the most well-known crime/horror movie of the modern film era - Silence. I believe it owes much to the first of it's kind, Manhunter, both from novels written by Thomas Harris. Of course, years ago, I was unaware of Manhunter's background and story development. I am much more aware now, but ultimately, I know what I like.

So yes, Silence of the Lambs is a sequel of sorts to Manhunter, they are fraternal twins in Hollywood circles. So no, I'm not confused. A couple of things come to mind:

1- It's been years since I've seen To Live and Die in LA and Mulholland Falls; I have to re-watch those for perspective and to refresh my memory

And, more importantly;

2- My mentioning of the actors, for whom I have the utmost respect, in this thread, is by no way meant to be shame-producing. I bring them into the conversation to contrast and report that some good may come shortly to TV.
Of course it depends on the writing, as has been mentioned.

As an aside, it seems to me that ever since the writer's strike that the talent level in TV writing has suffered somewhat. It seems that if a show is well written and well received that it gets cancelled, but shows, in more recent times, have been so poorly written and produced they get rewarded. To quote a favorite character of ours; "Does that seem right to you?" Rest in peace Jubal Early, I await your return with great anticipation.
