Outlaw

Another one bites the dust. NBC has officially pulled the plug on Outlaw after halting production on the set last week. Ratings for the Friday night legal drama continued to dip, and the network will air the four remaining shows in the can on Saturday nights. The show is the first to get the boot from NBC this season. Are you sad to see it go?

Are you ready for Fall TV to start? I'm giving you a preview of all the new shows with my pilot scoops so you can be in the know too. Today's new series? NBC legal drama Outlaw.

What it's about: Playboy Supreme Court justice Cyrus Garza (Jimmy Smits) switches gears and resigns from the court when he's rattled by a heart-wrenching death row case. Vowing to change the system, he goes back to his roots as a lawyer and assembles the requisite ragtag legal team, including familiar faces like Jesse Bradford and Carly Pope.

Where it works: Veteran actor Smits is always fantastic, and he tackles the suave but conflicted role of Garza with aplomb. Plus, the aforementioned case evokes your sympathy and the desire for Smits and his team to save him.

Where it doesn't: In trying to make the show accessible, the writers painfully dumb down the story. The script also does no favors for Pope, who plays a cliched bad-girl private investigator.

Am I hooked: Not especially. While his acting may be great, Smits's character isn't particularly appealing; nor are his blandly written castmates.

When is it on? Outlaw premieres Wednesday, September 15 at 10 p.m.

NBC's press tour for the Summer TCA got us up to speed with new Fall shows, which included the procedurals Chase and Outlaw. The two dramas introduced stars like Jimmy Smits, Kelli Giddish, Cole Hauser, and Jesse Bradford, and gave us a peek at the two new series.

• On Outlaw, Jimmy Smits plays a supreme court justice fed up with the system who quits to make changes from the inside out. Exec producer John Eisendrath said that Smits's character Cyrus Garza will go to a different city each week and take up a different case. He promised that we'd be looking at "hot-button issues" while Garza looks out for the little guy, fighting against the system.
• Smits described his character as a man who "is outside the box in a lot of different ways," who makes a radical switch from his gambling, playboy ways. Besides calling it "a wonderful meal for an actor," Smits said that the role is "much more loose and comfortable" than anything he's played in the past.
• Most famous exec producer? Conan O'Brien. Sadly, fellow producer David Kissinger said that O'Brien "isn't actively involved in a day-to-day way," but that "he's thrilled at the opportunity" to be a part of the show.
