Some of TV's most popular and longest running shows are getting upturned on casting all at once. Here are a sample of those who are in and out:
Law & Order: SVU -> Out: Diane Neal; In: Michaela McManus (One Tree Hill)
Law & Order: CI -> Out: Chris Noth; In: Jeff Goldblum
CSI -> Out: William Petersen, Jorja Fox, Gary Dourdan; IN: Lawrence Fishburne, Lauren Lee Smith, <insert potential replacement for Dourdan here>
So far, there are 4 replacements with a fifth one on the way. The question I pose is: How do you think these new people will do in replacing really established characters. I'll give an example:
On L&O: CI, Chris Noth's character of Mike Logan was a hit with those who loves L&O back in the day, and thought this guy was good. How will Jeff Goldblum, a guy who is more in line with Vincent D'Onofrio's portrayal of Det. Goren than with the hard-nosed Logan, he fit in? Do you think he'll last a season or more?
Also, what's going on with the former film bigwigs all of a sudden invading TV screens?
Something to think about.

TV Turnover: Casting changes all at one time
Hiyakawa Sayaka (my character from my writing) wrote:God has given me a gift, that I really don't know what to do with. I guess, all I can do is put it in his hands, keep my hands inside the car, and expect to end up destroying parts of Tokyo with my perfectly good guitar.
Revelation 1:10-11: I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, saying, [color="Red"]"Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches to Ephesus and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum and to Theyatira, and at Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."[/color]

I guess actors are taking small screen jobs because they can't find anything on the big screen? Maybe the TV execs think that if more big names are on TV shows that more people will watch?

UGH! Though that wasn't as much a change in networks as a change in Countries. Airwolf 4th season was entirely filmed in Canada, because the special effects were so expensive in the USA.
