   I think this is based on the series of YA books by Stephenie Meyer – they’re actually not bad, can run a *little* cheesy here and there but the two that are out so far were pretty enjoyable reads. I hope CBS doesn’t ruin it!

   I think its quite a stretch to say that these are based on Meyer’s books given that Meyer’s hero is 17 and not a PI. There would be some “deal” news if they were because Warner would have had to pay Meyers for the rights to base a TV show on her books. I know the option was purchased but I don’t think that there was any filming done, according to her agent with whom I spoke a few months ago.

   Being an unabashed lover of secret babies (and author of two), I was all over October Road. For two episodes. Wow, was that a cheesy show. Everybody in the bar confessing to a peanut allergy was my undoing and I gave up on it before the network did.

   Hopefully the vamp PI will fare better (though I wouldn’t get too attached to it.)

   I agree October Road was the cheesiest thing but I heard it was renewed for next season.

   Yet Jericho was cancelled?

   I think the major networks and the makers of blood pressure meds are in cahoots.

   I just couldn’t get over the actress from That 70s Show as a brassy blonde. At the very least they could have given her a better dye job.
