Minka Kelly [Friday Night Lights] and Jason Dohring [Veronica Mars] have been been cast in The CW's pilot "Body Politic."
The drama focuses on a group of attractive young staffers working in Washington.
Hmm. On the one hand, Kelly and Dohring are capable of great performances, as well as being good-looking. On the other, the premise of this series does sound an awful lot like some network executive decided:
"Hey! Wouldn't The West Wing have been an even bigger hit if the cast had been younger and better looking?"
So, let's look into the creative side of this...Hm. It's being produced by Thirtysomething/Amazon Women on the Moon/Children of the Corn actor turned producer and director Gary Horton, who presently works on Grey's Anatomy.
Which I think means I can safely predict that although this show may be a hit it will not, as they say, be "My kind of thing."
