Inside The 'Ironside' Controversy
22 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Fans of the 1960s "Ironside" may be excited to see Blair Underwood step into the titular role forNBC's "Ironside" reboot, but disabled actors aren't quite as impressed.
In fact, the disabled community views the casting choice as an offensive one.
"This would be like being in the '50s and having a white guy do blackface, at this point," "Sons of Anarchy" star Kurt Yaeger -- who lost his left leg after a motorcycle accident -- told The Wrap. "You need to start having disabled people playing disabled characters. Period."
However, some are applauding NBC for putting a character in a wheelchair and a character with Parkinson's ("The Michael J. Fox Show") at the forefront of its upcoming series. "NBC is putting two shows on air that feature characters with physical limitations, moving a kind of character who’s often relegated to supporting roles -- and who’s often there »

New 2013 TV Series Breakdown: NBC
13 May 2013 11:01 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on NBC.
The Peacock did not have a good year. Only one of its new shows, "Revolution," was a true hit. Another, "Chicago Fire," got renewed by the skin of its teeth whilst the fate of a third, "Hannibal," remains uncertain.
None of last year's new comedies survived, neither did two mid-season dramas, which leaves the network with some big holes to fill. Three dramas and three comedies will debut in the Fall ahead of three more dramas and two comedies mid-season. Two further dramas and a comedy are presently unscheduled.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't become series including the high-profile Charlize Theron-produced drama about the Hatfields and McCoys, the Bruckheimer-produced »

'Ironside': Blair Underwood gets tough on crime in NBC's drama remake
13 May 2013 10:38 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Will NBC's target demographic of adults 18-49 watch remake of a show whose original version aired before the majority of that demographic was born? Will it help if said remake stars Blair Underwood?
Those questions will be answered come fall, when NBC debuts a remake of the 1960s-70s cop drama "Ironside." It stars Underwood ("The Event," "In Treatment") as Robert Ironside, a New York City detective who was paralyzed while on duty and now leads a team of detectives who work some of the city's highest-profile cases.
The trailer hits all the cop-show marks -- Ironside clashes with his superiors! He's a maverick! His team is unconventional, but they get results! -- but Underwood is undeniably charismatic in the lead role. The cast also includes Pablo Schreiber, Spencer Grammer, Brent Sexton and Kenneth Choi.
"Ironside" is set to air at 10 p.m. Et Wednesdays on NBC in the fall. »

James Spader returns to NBC with "The Blacklist" on this fall.
The "Office" alum and longtime "Boston Legal" star returns to the spotlight on the Peacock network and this time, instead of upholding the law (albeit via blackmail, bribery and the like), he's breaking it. In NBC's upcoming series "The Blacklist," Spader stars as Raymond “Red” Reddington, the most wanted man in the world.

TV News: NBC Announces Fall Schedule with Six New Shows, Changes to Every Night
12 May 2013 3:18 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – When you’re in as much of a ratings struggle as NBC, it makes sense to shake things up and that’s exactly what they’re doing in the Fall with a new show or an old show in a new time every single night of the week. “Chicago Fire,” “Revolution,” “The Biggest Loser,” “Parks and Recreation,” and “Parenthood” are moving. “Community” is being held until a midseason, 13-episode run. No decision yet made on “Celebrity Apprentice” or “Hannibal,” which isn’t that surprising as they are mid-season shows anyway although it shouldn’t give fans of either program confidence as NBC announced a midseason schedule as well and they’re not on it. Anything could still happen with either program however and they could be held as replacements for shows that fail. That may be the best shot for “Hannibal” fans now. The best new show on the »

NBC added another comedy and two dramas, including the “Chicago Fire” spinoff, to its new series roster for the 2013-14 season. And it gave the ax to Matthew Perry comedy “Go On.”
Laffer “Undateable” marks the Peacock’s fifth new comedy series. “Ironside” (pictured) is a remake of the 1970s series, starring Blair Underwood as the wheelchair-bound gumshoe originally played by Raymond Burr.
Ass expected, Dick Wolf is claiming another hour of NBC’s sked with the pickup of “Chicago Pd,” which is set to air next week as a planted spinoff within Wolf’s frosh drama “Chicago Fire.”
“Undateable,” from Warner Bros. TV and sitcom vet Bill Lawrence and scribe Adam Sztykiel, revolves around a group of romantically challenged friends.
Peacock unveils its new sked to advertisers in Gotham on Monday.

Right now it's looking like we've got a series of programming dominoes at MSNBC. First, Ed Schultz announced he was starting a weekend show, then Chris Hayes was announced as the host of a new show airing in Schutlz's time slot, leaving Hayes' show Up needing a host. Yesterday, MSNBC announced that Steve Kornacki will be the new Up host. Now, there's an unfilled host's chair at The Cycle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Johnathan Capehart who was an great guest-host on The Cycle when Kornacki wasn't there.
In today's "Oh, damn it!" news, HBO went and cancelled Enlightened. Dammit.
Jane Espenson has joined the team working on that Once Upon a Time spin-off. She'll be a consulting producer, the same role she has at Once.

Spencer Grammer To Star In ‘Ironside’, Jane Adams Joins Craig Robinson Comedy
19 March 2013 12:18 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Greek alumna Spencer Grammer has landed the female lead opposite Blair Underwood in NBC’s drama pilot Ironside. The reboot of the 1967 series, written by Mike Caleo and directed by Peter Horton, centers on Robert T. Ironside (Underwood), a tough, sexy and acerbic police detective relegated to a wheelchair after a shooting who is hardly limited by his disability as he pushes and prods his hand-picked team to solve the most difficult cases. Grammer, repped by UTA and Untitled, will play Holly, who stands up to Ironside and everyone else and would be much higher up in the police department if she would distance herself from the criminals she grew up around. Former Hung star Jane Adams has been cast in another NBC pilot, the single-camera comedy starring Craig Robinson and executive produced by Greg Daniels and Owen Ellickson, who wrote the script. The untitled project centers on a talented »
