Over at The Futon Critic, it’s being reported that production has stopped on “Threshold,” CBS’s entry into the ever-growing field of sci-fi drama. Good lord, America, have mercy on this great show! I mean, the cast includes Carla Gugino, Charles S. Dutton, Peter Dinklage, and Brent Spiner, for God’s sake; you’ve got a sexy woman, a well-respected character actor, a sci-fi legend, and, um, Peter Dinklage. (Actually, he’s such a good actor and so funny that, when the camera isn’t focusing on his height, you can totally forget that he’s vertically challenged…)
Meanwhile, good riddance to bad rubbish with “The Night Stalker” being cancelled. Stay tuned to Bullz-Eye.com for the review of the original version of the show on DVD, but, trust me, you didn’t miss anything with this new version. It might’ve been okay in and of itself, but it bore so little resemblance to the Darren McGavin version that it might as well have been called something else altogether. All it really did was borrow a title and some character names…and that’s really about it.
