I couldn't believe it the first time I saw him. His voice, the speaking patterns, body language - all of it created solely for the Luke character. I was amazed more than I usually am by such a transformation. So, until I see the new show, I'm going to bet that Patterson can likely once again transform himself into someone quite unlike Luke or any other character he has played. I do think Patterson is particularly attractive, but I've seen really attractive actors made geeky or goofy, so if that is what is needed, they can probably pull it off. I admit to liking the actor's beard scruff, but that is probably going to be no where in sight. Drat.

Though I was sad to see Merrin go, I'm excited that Audra McDonald is the replacement, though lets hope the show improves a LOT by fall. Brett Cullen was the ONLY interesting thing about Wild.

I have seen the Pilot for AIA and it was cute, the dad they had was, I thought, perfect! I will not really be watching this show, it wasn't really that interesting to me, even if they bring on Scott Patterson, which again is not right for this part! On another side note, I have watched all the CW fall pilots and my fav by far is The Reaper! And I am glad they are replacing Nikki Reed, she just didn't do anything in that part, and I think Missy P will rock!

As for PP, yea those two did NOT click. I thought that part was so fake and wooden, it was painful to watch them act like best friends. Dungey had the look of someone asking herself, "Why's this college friend showing up after all these years with no contact ?" Addison should have called first. LOL Maybe the recasting has to do with the character taking Alley McBeal moments to break out into song. That show (PP) has bigger issues indeed. But will that help? Won't know until we see if the ladies have chemistry. Tim Wilkins aka College Virgin I will check out Moonlight for VM alumi Dohry. As for PP, yea those two did NOT click.

The glossy-eyed clueless father (Breen) was part of the whole charm of Aliens. I absolutely cannot see Scott in this role at all. It will be like watching Luke Danes live with a foreign kid (and we've seen him with kids...Jess & April...and it ain't pretty). Also, nothing needs to outshine the true comedy gem of AIA: the mother!! She is a riot, both with her verbal delivery and physical comedy. What a great find! Again, the S.P. news really saddens me; what appeared to be a clear-cut winner now has me very worried. Also, Bret Cullen never would've been my first choice for Life is Wild...but D.W. Moffett? The only role I've ever liked him in was "For Your Love." What?...was his work on Hidden Palms so inspiring? Or did the network have a contract to eat? I don't get this one, either.

They have made it hipper, sexier and younger and it needed it because the pilot ( not a full pilot) was SLOW!!!!!!!! Actually somewhat excited to check it out now. As for Scott Patterson while agree the pilot of AIA didn't need a lot of tinkering it's still a great move because he will bring viewers to the show and no doubt can play the part. I absolutely HATE the show being sandwiched in on their comedy night but they need a hit comedy or a midseason buzz comedy to warrant the switch of night... Merrin Dungey... Still trying to confirm she has been let go. I know her role has been recast but no official word if she is off the show ( meaning not moved to a new role ). Sticking to my guns that Private Practice is the Studio 60 of this coming fall... the can't miss show that might miss.... LOVE the Moonlight recasts.

Melissa McCarthy was cast in the new Christina Applegate show that keeps changing names before GG was even cancelled.
