‘The Sopranos’ Leads WGA List of Top TV Series
2 June 2013 11:51 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The Writers Guild of America on Sunday unveiled its list of the “101 Best Written TV Series of All Time,” topped by HBO’s “The Sopranos.”
The mob drama created by David Chase (pictured above right with “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini) led the list over such perennial faves as “Seinfeld” (which ranked No. 2), “All in the Family” (No. 4), “Mash” (No. 5) and “The Wire” (No. 9).
On the other end of the list was a three-way tie between the original NBC “Late Night with David Letterman,” FX’s “Louie” and HBO’s intense prison drama “Oz.”
The list, the results of online voting by members of the WGA West and WGA East, immediately spurred debates over the rankings and omissions. The TV tally was a follow-up to the WGA’s “101 Greatest Screenplays” member survey conducted in 2006.
The WGA’s complete list of TV series follows:

Where’s the Pilot Pizzazz? Networks Need to Impress
4 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
As the upfronts approach, it’s hard to scope out pilot pickup buzz at the major broadcast nets this year because there are few clear heat-seekers.
The big bets of this year’s development crop were made early on in the cycle (last summer and fall) and for the most part have retained their front-runner status: ABC’s “Marvel’s Agents of Shield” with the Whedon clan; CBS’ redo of “Beverly Hills Cop”; NBC’s 22-episode throwdown for the Michael J. Fox domestic laffer; Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher in Fox’s cop comedy “Brooklyn 99″; and the union of David E. Kelley and Robin Williams in CBS’ “Crazy Ones.”
J.J. Abrams has his minimum allotment of two pilots: Fox’s robot-cops vehicle and “Believe” with Alfonso Cuaron at NBC. David Shore is said to be looking promising with ABC drama “Doubt.”

30 March 2013 6:08 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Carla Gugino, is set to play the female lead in ABC’s upcoming pilot titled Doubt. She will join previously announced Steve Coogan who is already on board to play a charming lawyer in David Shore‘s legal drama. The good thing is that Gugino jumps in to star as Coogan’s intelligent, hard-working ex-wife who still has feelings for him and yes – you already know what that means – they still have a sexual relationship. Sounds promising! So, at this moment we know that Tommy Schlamme will direct Doubt from a script written by Shore, and as we said, the whole thing will center on Coogan’s...

Carla Gugino and John Pankow Doubt Steve Coogan Pilot
25 March 2013 5:53 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Steve Coogan may be the star of ABC’s David Shore drama pilot Doubt, but there are more pieces needed to put this puzzle together. Coogan’s character, Vincent, has an interesting backstory as a cop leaving his badge behind to become a low-rent lawyer, using all his cunning, charms and street smarts to work the system for his clients while battling his own demons, but there’s plenty going on in his present that requires the work of other actors. Just recently, Carla Gugino and John Pankow joined the pilot, giving the story a more completed feel. Now I can see the picture forming.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Gugino and Pankow are both playing attorneys with strong connections to Vincent. Gugino plays his ex-wife and current lover Linda. She’s an intelligent, hard-working and no-nonsense Ada with little patience for Vincent’s courtroom antics. She knows precisely how »

Mercedes Ruehl is set to co-star opposite Steve Coogan and Carla Gugino in David Shore’s ABC legal drama pilot Doubt. The project, from Sony TV, centers on Vincent (Coogan), a former cop who’s now a cunning but charming low-rent lawyer using his street smarts to work the system for his clients while battling his own demons and wooing his ex-wife Linda (Gugino). Oscar and Tony winner Ruehl, repped by Frontline Management and Innovative, will play Mrs. Syn Newman, a lawyer who works (and constantly bickers) with his husband (John Pankow) in offices they rent from Vince. Though frequently exasperated by Vincent, she also considers him a son and her frustration with him never dampens her desire to fight alongside him.

Carla Gugino To Star In ABC Pilot ‘Doubt’
22 March 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
After a long courtship, Carla Gugino has signed on as the female lead opposite Steve Coogan in David Shore’s ABC legal drama pilot Doubt. Also cast in the project, from Sony TV, is John Pankow. It centers on Vincent (Coogan), a former cop who’s now a cunning but charming low-rent lawyer using his street smarts to work the system for his clients while battling his own demons and wooing his ex-wife Linda (Gugino). Linda is a no-nonsense Ada who has little patience for courtroom antics, especially when it comes to her impulsive ex-husband. Despite their separation, they still hook up occasionally for torrid sex, and although she can no longer live with Vince, it’s apparent that Linda still has a deep affection for him. Pankow plays Mr. Syd Newman, an old-school attorney who works with his wife and fellow lawyer in offices that they rent from Vince. »

And now the creator of House will make Steve Coogan into an American TV star
20 March 2013 8:12 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
House creator David Shore definitely isn’t reinventing the asshole wheel with his new drama Doubt, which follows a cop turned “low-rent lawyer” who uses his cunning “street smarts” to game the system, yet remains plagued by his own personal demons. In addition to retaining Shore’s love of effective yet flawed protagonists and that pleasantly round “ou” diphthong, Doubt will similarly mark the American series debut of a British TV comedy icon: Steve Coogan has signed on to star, following Hugh Laurie’s lead and bringing to the role the same unctuous yet loveable charm he’s brought to »

Steve Coogan Is In Doubt
20 March 2013 12:45 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
In Michael Winterbottom's The Trip Steve Coogan stars as a slightly manically magnified version of himself. The film has a rather hilarious running gag, and then clever nightmare sequence, wherein the actor-comedian deflects an offer to star in a U.S. TV drama. Knowing this makes the news that Coogan has signed on to star in House creator David Shore's new drama pilot Doubt all the more amusing.Set up at ABC, Doubt has Coogan playing a cop-turned-lawyer, which as an idea on paper just sounds ho-hum, but in the hands of the smarmy/charming Coogan, and with the capably twisted and eccentric writing of Shore (who helped make Brit Hugh Laurie a "house"hold name in America), this could be damn good.If the pilot clicks with ABC execs,...

For his follow-up to House, David Shore is bringing to Us broadcast television another popular British comedy actor-comedian-writer to play the lead of a drama project. Steve Coogan (Tropic Thunder) is set to topline Shore’s ABC legal drama pilot Doubt.

Janet Montgomery and Greg Grunberg have joined the casts of two different ABC pilot.
The actress (Made in Jersey) will portray the female lead in Gothica, an unusual drama set in modern times that incorporates legends such as Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein. Sounds like a spin on Once Upon a Time to us.
Montgomery has been cast as Grace Van Helsing, the daughter of this famous vampire hunter who returns to run her family's newspaper.
Grunberg, meanwhile, will star opposite Greg Kinnear on Doubt, the legal drama from David Shore that focuses on attorney who relies in street smarts to game the system.
The popular, busy actor (Love Bites, Vegas, The Client List) will come on board as the main character's developmentally disabled (yet high-functioning) older brother Mark. He as the receptionist at his sibling's law firm and possesses an undying belief in Kinnear's lawyer. »
