Sarah Michelle Gellar was joined by good-looking guys Nestor Carbonell, Ioan Gruffudd, and Kristoffer Polaha at yesterday's Comic-Con panel for their new CW series Ringer. SMG plays twins in the primetime thriller, which she didn't think would get made. Sarah said of her series, "It’s the first time in a very long time in which I was surprised by something. And I thought no one is going to put this show on television." The cast has only filmed one episode so far, but this morning she was joined by Nestor on the LA set to continue shooting additional footage for the show. It seems there could be a part for Sarah's husband, Freddie Prinze Jr, on the Ringer. Sarah's hoping they cast Freddie as a love interest, but it's unlikely he'd be opposite her characters.
Pilot Watch: "Cane"
The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. A lot can change before a show makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now. Today's installment: "Cane," a new drama from CBS.

What's it about? A Cuban-American family in Miami deals with internal struggles and external pressures that threaten their large, lucrative rum and sugar business.
Who's in it? Jimmy Smits, Hector Elizondo, Rita Moreno, Nestor Carbonell
The good: It's a CBS drama that's not another "CSI"! Jimmy Smits clearly knows how to carry a series, and when your supporting cast involves the likes of Rita Moreno, you're doing OK on the acting front. The pilot has an intriguing mix of soapy family drama, politics and mystery.
The bad: No, it's not a "CSI," but it still looks and feels like every CBS drama you've ever seen. And that's not all — as my boyfriend said, "I liked this show better when it was called The Godfather."
Will I watch? I have the same general feeling about it as I did about "Back to You": It's not likely to end up on my must-watch list, but at the same time, I wouldn't recommend against it.
