Pilot's Log

It's weird seeing Navi Rawat (from Numb3rs) as a nasty villainess in Burn Notice. It's just a complete 180% turn from the previous role.

(Yes, I know they're LAST YEAR'S episodes. I don't have cable, okay?)

At least she isn't being typecast.

CBS Announces The Cancellation of Seven Prime-Time Shows including Numb3rs.

Granted, the show ended with the high note of Charlie marrying his long-time lover Amita and taking a new assignment at Oxford, but I will really miss its presense. Rob Morrow is moving on to ABC's The Whole Truth, which looks to have a lot of topspin. David Krumholtz' follow-up Tax Man wasn't picked up by FOX, but I imagine FOX will keep it handy as a possible replacement, the risks being what they are these days. The others in the cast are already showing up in guest roles in other series, so the news isn't so bad...but I'll miss Numb3rs.

Meanwhile, I hear that The Big Bang Theory was picked up for syndication, so it'll run "daily" re-runs in addition to its weekly CBS prime-time slot. I'm not a fan myself, but I know a lot of people who are. (My prime-time of choice now is CHUCK and Criminal Minds.)

Numb3rs star Rob Morrow said on his Facebook account tonight:

(CBS) pulled us back to 16 eps from an original order of 22. not a good sign. but, we're not over yet. we need a big write-in campaign. ya'll have to get everyone u know to blitz the network with unrelenting letters. keep numb3rs alive....xxoo, rob m

If you're a fan of Numb3rs like myself and want to see the show continue on Friday nights, write a letter or postcard to:

Nina Tassler, President
CBS Entertainment
4024 Radford Ave., Room 3118
Studio City, CA 91604

I know I will!

Five Fandoms That Currently Mean a Lot To Me
1. Numb3rs - I hang out on the official forum.

2. Shortpacked! - I fear that this latest Robin/Ethan/Conni storyline is causing the strip to jump the proverbial shark, but I have some faith in Willis' abilities as a 'toonist.

3. Criminal Minds - Well, I am a little annoyed at the fans who perpetually want pretty-boy Dr. Reid to have gay sex with the other male characters...

4. Knights of the Dinner Table/Fuzzy Knights - What can you say? I have a hot streak going for suggesting cover ideas!

5. My Own Fans (for Chillin' Out) - I need their support if I can get the print compilation to launch.
