"LOS ANGELES — Isaiah Washington, the embattled star fired from ABC's Grey's Anatomy last month, is back to work — at NBC.
Washington will guest-star on the network's high-profile remake of 1970s drama Bionic Woman this fall, and has signed a development deal to star in a potential action drama he pitched to the network for the 2008-09 TV season.
The network is expected to announce the deal today at a TV critics meeting here."
Washington to return to network TV

From a hit show to a stinker. That's gotta hurt. I hope he finds better material.

Posted: 7/16/07 at 10:55amSo, he bashes gays and gets an award from the NAACP and a new development deal and Imus gets fired. Where's the outrage from Al Sharpton now?

an early promo shot from his proposed show seems to be much more gay friendly than some may have expected...

Posted: 7/16/07 at 11:16amand while everyone's ridiculing the bionic woman its creators are members of the team that re-invented battlestar galactica. another idea that was ridiculed widely but which worked out pretty darn well so far.

No offense pab, but have you seen the previews they are airing? And let's face it the original one was a real stinker.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

So, he bashes gays
I though gay bashing generally referred to some sort of physical attack, not allegedly saying the word "faggot" on a closed television set.
What more should the man do? Should he never be able to make a living again?

not only should he be banned from ever appearing on american television again by an act of congress, kringas, he should be made to stare at video of harvey fierstein and bruce villanche having sex for 20 hours a day for seven weeks. the other four hours he must have his eyes sealed and listen to the barbra farewell concert (ver. 7.12b) at volume level 9 on constant repeat. at the end of that time he will serve as personal piss-boy to barney frank for a period of not less than 2 years wearing variations of the above outfit.

This new version stars Michelle Ryan, better known to PBS fans as Zoe on the British soap "EastEnders". Unless Jaime Sommers is going to be doing a lot of crying, the star wattage ain't Meryl Streep if you get my drift.

Posted: 7/16/07 at 11:31amShows how little you know. Bashing can be verbal as well as physical. If it was a white person using the n word, we'd never ever hear the end of it but in your book, it's OK for him to call someone a faggot. He should be treated the same as Imus was.

Posted: 7/16/07 at 11:51amhey cal, if an anonymous source told me that you like your dates to dress up like cub scouts and work on their knot tying merit badges, i'd probably try to verify it somehow before running with it, but that's just me.

No, it's about the upcoming Anita Bryant Comeback Tour sponsored by Cracker Barrel.
