I didn't know Jane was back on TV. I was under the impression that after Help You Help Me sizzled she hadn't picked up another project. I guess I was mistaken.

sounds good :thumbup1:

but, err.. cable original series turn me down... I really wish they start putting some great written shows back on broadcast network TV. It seems in order to see anything decent you need to constantly flipping back and forth between the hundreds of cable channels :thumbdown:

plus my parents home does not have cable, lol. (at least I do.. for now..)

As is now quite common for US TV shows episodes are leaked onto the internet most probably by the studios to create buzz around the series. So we are helping them out by letting you guys watch the WHOLE first episode a month before it airs on TV.

Behind the scenes of <em>Raising the Bar</em>:

Multiple Emmy-winner Bochco and the cast of <em>Raising the Bar</em> - Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jane Kaczmarek and Gloria Reuben and the show co-creator, lawyer-writer David Feige - were part of a panel on the new show.

At the panel, Michael Wright, senior vice president of Turner Entertainment Networks’ Content Creation Group, said that legal, medical and police shows all entail strong characters and conflict, which makes for good dramatic fodder for the network.

<strong>To cap her show’s panel, Kaczmarek said that she looks forward to attending TNT events, because of Wright.</strong>

<strong>“</strong><strong>He’s so cute,” she said.</strong>

TNT had some fun with these badges.
