The TV show I'm going to start working on next week, The Bridge, has been picked up by CBS for broadcast in the USA, probably in the fall of '09.
A website called TV, eh has all the info.
I like this description of the show:
Written by five-time Gemini Award winner and six-time nominee Alan Di Fiore (DA VINCI’S INQUEST, THE LIFE, THE HANDLER), THE BRIDGE peels away the veneer of a big-city police force to reveal the political machinations underneath. After the rank and file unanimously vote street cop Frank Leo (BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA’S Aaron Douglas) into office as union head, he begins his quest to put street cops first and clean up the force from the ground up. But the old boys’ network running the police force and the city’s self-serving politicians are not about to sit idly by while a former street cop makes up his own rules. Frank walks a thin blue line as he battles wiretaps and a concerted campaign to bring him down, letting nothing stop him from fulfilling his unwavering vow that when cops are in trouble, he will be there.
Gemini Awards are the Canadian version of the Emmy Awards. Five-time winner, Alan Di Fiore. I'm looking forward to learning from him.

Great news. Congrats!
Damn, you know the genius behind a show like DaVinci's Inquest will do a fantastic job too. I look forward to critiquing your episodes. ;) CONGRATS!
Yay! We'll be able to say we knew you when! Hurray for you, too: you're going to have so much fun.
Congratulations, John. Not only does the show have a great pedigree, but I have long thought the political/paramilitary machinations of a police force would make a great show. THE WIRE showed some of it, but there's a lot more. I'm looking forward to seeing this explored in the fall.
Thanks everybody.
I'll keep you posted ;)
Congrats, John! That's great news.
Sounds like a winner. Congrats!
Looking at the timeline was sobering, John. Four years from first pitch to line drive swing... I hope the Geller series, should it survive development, doesn't take that long. Good luck on the show!
Awesome! Alan D. is my Dad, hope ya'll are not working too hard ;0
