Pilot News

Yes, folks, it's about that time...pilot season! TVnista just learned that CBS has ordered a pilot for The Man, a drama starring hip-hop veteran LL Cool J (whom I had the pleasure of seeing up close and personal a few weeks ago in NYC!). Written by CSI creator Anthony Zuiker, The Man follows an undercover Los Angeles cop who juggles his job while developing a father-like relationship with a boy orphaned after one of his drug busts. Sounds like a good look for Mr. Smith.


And Stomp the Yard cute Brian White has been added to the cast of ABC's Footballer$ Wives as Kyle, joining previously announced co-star Gabrielle Union. Looks like we'll have a lot more Black folks on TV in the Fall.
