Another DVR to set....

From Yahoo TV: CBS' midseason show "Harper's Island" reworks Agatha Christie. Although insiders are skeptical that its odd horror-tinged format will draw enough viewers, the idea is a clever effort to bring back a faded genre. But CBS is concerned about "Island's" once-indestructible lead-in. With "CSI" swapping lead actors in January as Laurence Fishburne takes over for the departing William Petersen, the show's ratings might weaken.

Craptastic. I'm reading between the lines here...Harper's Island is Jim Beaver's new side job---and if I'm reading this right, it's going to be on Thursday nights. I really hope it's not going to be head-to-head with the boys, I really do...that's an evil choice to have to make.

And since it's inevitable, I wonder how long before someone does press coverage with a title like "Harper's Bizarre Island"?
