I thought I had my main piece I was cutting approved yesterday. Then I had to change it all because 2 new TNT series were greenlighted, and their other original show, Saved, was cancelled.
The 2 new shows are "Grace" with Holly Hunter, and "Heartland" with Treat Williams, who plays a heart transplant doctor. The pilot is very moving. The Holly Hunter show is pretty weird; I hope I can get into it when I have more time to concentrate. I still hope to be working on The Closer next season, but they may pull me off and have me launch one of the new shows.
Since The Closer is the only series I follow, I hope I can stay with it.
In the middle of the day yesterday, as I was cutting Sex & The City episodics, we had to stop down and I loaded some Raymond episodes and cut a short tribute bump to Peter Boyle. It was a sad day---a fellow editor friend of mine's wife died, too. She went into the hospital to have a spot on her lung biopsied and died during surgery from an aneurism. She was my age. I don't know what he will do without her---they had been married probably 30 years.
