"Jim Patterson was the most versatile performer on the air we ever had. He could do almost anything," said Charles Crutchfield, former president of WBTV's parent company. (Charlotte Observer, 7/30/1986)

Jim Patterson worked at three other radio stations before joining WBT in Charlotte, NC, as a staff announcer in 1949. He began hosting his own afternoon show, "By Jiminy," in 1950. From popular radio host and news announcer, Patterson went on to fill many roles on WBT television – as "Uncle Jim" on "Cartoon Carnival," as Bozo the Clown, as "Captain Jim," commercial spokesman for Piedmont Airlines, to host of "The Morning Report," an early-morning news and variety show, and weatherman on "Top O' the Day," broadcast at 11:30 a.m.

Mrs. Davis (prod. Tara Hernandez).

Co-created by Damon Lindelof, the show features a tour-de-force performance by Betty Gilpin as a badass nun on the run searching for the Holy Grail in a future where an eponymous all-powerful A.I. algorithm controls every element of human life in a truly bonkers sci-fi action-adventure comedy series. This a wildly fun and ridiculous episodic series bursting with a mishmash of pop culture influences. It’s a riot to watch and follow every twist and turn involving Jesus, the Pope, and so many cartoonish elements referencing Christianity, science fiction, or futurism.

‘Cold Case’ Reboot From Creator Meredith Stiehm Eyed By CBS

EXCLUSIVE: After bringing back CSI: Crime Scene Investigation with CSI: Vegas, CBS is looking to revive another Jerry Bruckheimer Television-produced crime procedural from the 2000s. The network is in negotiations with Warner Bros. TV for a reboot of Cold Case, which aired on CBS for seven seasons from 2003-2010, Deadline has learned. The followup comes from the series’ creator/executive producer Meredith Stiehm.

Set 15 years after the original series’ final episode, the untitled Cold Case reboot would follow a new team of tenacious detectives who investigate cold cases across the Southwest.

This is a new location as the original Cold Case was set in Philadelphia. The move would allow the potential new series to introduce a new group of characters as they tackle unsolved homicides.

Stiehm is writing the script. She is executive producing with JBTV’s Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed for WBTV and CBS Studios. Talks between CBS and WBTV have been going on for weeks, and sources stress that the two sides are not close to a deal. Reps for the network and the studios declined comment.

The original series follows Detective Lilly Rush (Kathryn Morris), a homicide detective with the Philadelphia Police Department specializing in cold cases, who was partnered for the majority of the show’s run with Detective Scotty Valens (Danny Pino).

No talent is currently attached to the reboot though I hear Pino has had informal conversations to reprise his fan favorite character Det. Scotty Valens, possibly in a significant way. I hear Morris has not been approached about the reboot but is aware of it and could potentially appear in some (likely limited) capacity to provide additional continuity, having led the original series for seven seasons.

Cold Case‘s main cast also included John Finn, Jeremy Ratchford, Thom Barry and Tracie Thoms.

Before proceeding with talent discussions, WBTV has to close a deal with CBS, which I hear had been a challenge. According to sources, the sticking points include some of the issues that the two sides faced during the renewal negotiations for WBTV’s then-freshman East New York last spring that reportedly contained a request from the network for additional streaming rights.

After months of back-and-forth, those talks fell through. The Cold Case reboot would mark the studio’s first drama sale to CBS since then as the two sides are trying to hammer out a new deal template. (The studio and network have an ongoing relationship on the comedy side through Chuck Lorre’s Big Bang Theory franchise which recently got another offshoot series, Georgie & Mandy, for next season.)

There is no particular rush as CBS’ 2024-25 slate is already stacked with three new drama series, Matlock, pushed due to strike-related delays, NCIS: Origins and Watson.

Since the end of Cold Case after 156 episodes, Stiehm worked as an executive producer on Showtime’s Emmy-winning drama Homeland and also co-developed and executive produced FX’s The Bridge, based on the Danish-Swedish format. She is repped by UTA and attorney Bruce Gellman.

In addition to CSI: Vegas, currently in its third season, JBTV has sophomore CBS drama series Fire Country, which has been renewed for a third season and is eying a potential Sheriff-centered spinoff. The company is repped by CAA.

Did you see the news?

https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jensen-ackles-daneel-ackles-first-look-tv-deal-amazon-1235592800/

The Ackles and Chaos Machine were previously under a first-look deal at Warner Bros. Television. It was reported in October 2022 that they had extended the WBTV deal for another two years, but they have now exited that deal for Amazon.

According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, the Ackles and WBTV parted ways on good terms and any projects Chaos Machine had in development with their now former studio home remain in the works. The WBTV deal was solely a producing deal, while the Amazon deal covers both acting and producing.

I'm curious as to your general thoughts about this and also want to know, with this first look including acting and producing, does that mean they'll likely shop projects with Jensen as the lead?

Yikes. Jensen and loyalty just never go together, huh?

I'm very happy for him, it seems like Amazon plans to include him in their productions. This might mean career advancement tier wise but it might also mean being limited at a certain level. We'll see what they cast him in.

As for Chaos, sorry but unless some highly brilliant people step in and steer it right I don't give it more than a year. He absolutely could produce his own dream roles but to do it he needs to put in the required prep and homework. Sadly, I think he's more focused on giving Danneel a pretend day job than he is on actually delivering something of high quality that will create a career breakthrough.

One thing's for certain, his networking surely paid off. Amazon isn't hiring him for his acting skills, he's not that stellar. They are hiring him because they like him which means he network intelligently.

As for Danneel, I'm sure she has a whole library of "talking points" on how she did this and that as a producer lol, all you have to do is ask her a technical question about actual producing and watch her plastic face deflate before your very eyes. She's a poser and a leech.

Is the wbtv thing about cas new??? If so … 👀 all the spn posting latly is like is something in the works now?? Are they planing to start soon When the strike is over ? Or are they doing a market res to see if there is still interest by fans ?

yeah it was from an hour ago! i can’t remember the last time they posted about him but they do post a lot tbh. i would bet that there is something planned and i’m hoping that the strike ends soon because it seems plausible… 👀👀 idk if posting on those accounts is very helpful to see fan reactions because most of the reactions aren’t there, but on twitter. but what do i know.

Jensen Ackles, Danneel Ackles Move First-Look TV Deal to Amazon (EXCLUSIVE)

Jensen Ackles, Danneel Ackles, and their production company Chaos Machine are entering a first-look TV deal at Amazon, Variety has learned exclusively.

The Ackles and Chaos Machine were previously under a first-look deal at Warner Bros. Television. It was reported in October 2022 that they had extended the WBTV deal for another two years, but they have now exited that deal for Amazon.

According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, the Ackles and WBTV parted ways on good terms and any projects Chaos Machine had in development with their now former studio home remain in the works. The WBTV deal was solely a producing deal, while the Amazon deal covers both acting and producing.

The new deal marks an extension of the relationship between Jensen and Amazon, as he previously starred in Season 3 of the streamer’s hit series “The Boys” as Soldier Boy.

“We are thrilled to begin this journey with the incredibly smart and creative team at Amazon,” the Ackles said. “We loved being part of the Amazon family with ‘The Boys’ and look forward to our continued relationship as we develop exciting and interesting projects together.”

“We’re thrilled to extend our relationship with Jensen beyond his brilliant performance as Soldier Boy on ‘The Boys,’” said Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon and MGM Studios. “Jensen is a multi-talented performer and producer and we can’t wait to see what he, Danneel, and Chaos Machine come up with next.”

The Ackles formed Chaos Machine in 2020. Most recently, the company produced The CW series “The Winchesters,” which acts as a prequel to the hit drama series “Supernatural,” in which Jensen starred throughout the show’s 15-season run. He also serves as the narrator on “The Winchesters,” which is currently airing its first season. As an actor, Jensen’s recent roles besides “The Boys” include the ABC series “Big Sky,” which he joined during the show’s third season. Chaos Machine, Jensen Ackles, and Danneel Ackles are repped by Gersh, Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole, and Narrative.
