JACK CUTMORE SCOTT TO LEAD JURY DUTY SITCOM AT CBS
CBS has meanwhile cast Jack Cutmore Scott for their hybrid sitcom JURY DUTY in which a group of jurors are sequestered together until they all agree on a verdict….and they can’t even agree on lunch.

Scott will play John ‘Hutty’ Huttman, a charismatic natural leader and winner in every way, who isn’t happy about being made an alternate juror, so he’s going to make it fun for himself.

The Three of Us will have a pretty cast. Hope it is good.
ReplyDeleteJury Duty sounds like it will be frustrating. I can't imagine being on jury duty (have always gotten out of it here) let alone watching jurors bicker for an entire season.
I thought jury duty was a one off thing, do they take them for a whole year? I thought it is just one case and then you are free.
DeleteInteresting! I am waiting for new Friends episode, hope it will not be a huge dissapointing!
ReplyDeleteIt won't be an episode, dear, it will be nonscripted reunion, just actors gathered in the studio and talking about their old days.
DeleteAll three sound OK, but nothing that makes me EEP with excitement. I wonder what they will do with Jury Duty after they order lunch and decide on a verdict?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing they will never really decide on the verdict LOL that would be the comedy in that comedy.
