‘Doctor Who’ meets ‘Sliders’ as Jerry O’Connell cast in David Tennant’s new pilot

‘Doctor Who’ meets ‘Sliders’ as Jerry O’Connell cast in David Tennant’s new pilot

  • News
  • December 8, 2009

The explorer of alternate universes is about to meet the last Time Lord.

Jerry O’Connell, best known to genre fans as Quinn Mallory in Sliders, will co-star opposite Doctor Who‘s David Tennant in the pilot of NBC’s dramedy Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, replacing Sendhil Ramamurthy just days after he was cast in the role. (Ramamurthy, who also stars on NBC’s Heroes, stepped aside because of scheduling conflicts.)

According to Cynopsis, O’Connell will play an ambitious though good-natured lawyer who was used to playing second fiddle to Rex (David Tennant) until Rex’s career changes. O’Connell’s character also falls in love with Rex’s fiance. The pilot has also cast Lindsey Kraft to play Rex’s assistant and Cleo King as a practical-minded private school bus driver.

And the fan-fiction crossovers are starting on LiveJournal right… now.

Review: Joel McHale and Chevy Chase in ‘Community’

Well, thus far the new teevee season has brought at least one pleasant surprise.

Generally speaking, I don’t care much for sitcoms. They’re predictable, they’re sophomoric even by my standards, and they’re usually are littered with obnoxious children. But I checked out the pilot to NBC’s [[[Community]]] because I really like Joel McHale and John Oliver, and I’ll admit to having some morbid curiosity about Chevy Chase.

The pilot wasn’t bad, with a few truly funny moments and
some great performances. McHale and Oliver didn’t disappoint me in the least.
But here’s what surprised me.

Chevy Chase turned in a first-rate performance, worthy of the reputation he gathered in the earliest days of SNL. He plays an aging businessman with the same sort of bewildering lack of reality he exhibited in Caddyshack. After a lot of redundant lame movies, this is classic Chevy Chase.

I think Community’s performers will hold the show together long enough to give the writing a chance to improve. Then again, it could go the way of most sit-coms and sink in the sea of predictable puerility. Community is worth checking out. Thursday, September 17, 9:30 PM EDT/PDT on NBC.
