It wasn't long ago that Sarah Michelle Gellar was in one of the most popular and cult television shows of all time; Buffy The Vampire Slayer. That show gave way to a pretty good film career and I use the term 'pretty good' loosely. The Scooby Doo flicks, The Grudge (and it's lackluster sequel), she was in Richard Kelly's Southland Tales (which no one has ever seen), and she voiced April O'Neil in TMNT.
She was actually booked in a new show to be on HBO called "The Wonderful Maladays," but the show never came to fruition (or it didn't pass the pilot). Now, she's got another show, which is being scripted by the writers behind Supernatural Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder.
The show, tentatively (or not) called "Ringer" has a pretty convoluted plot and this is from Ain't It Cool News:
"CBS pilot about a lady on the run from the mob who comes to impersonate her wealthy twin sister. If that’s not complex enough a premise, the wealthy sister is apparently ALSO on the run."
I don't even know what to think about that plot, BUT...it intrigues me that CBS is pulling away from the whole "NCIS" "CSI" "Hawaii 5-O" "Criminal Minds" thing. "The Good Wife" and "Ringer" back to back could be a hard sell for any day of the week (say Wednesday "Ringer" "Good Wife" "Criminal Minds") without shifting their entire lineup around. And no, I haven't watched "The Good Wife" since it's pilot episode and it didn't light my world on fire.
