Television Rating: 3.5/5.0 Chicago – We have good news for fans of “Will & Grace” and “Ed”. The stars of those two shows have been lucky enough to have lightning strike their careers again with TNT’s “Trust Me”.
Gimmicks and concepts may get an audience to tune in for a premiere episode, but television is still primarily a medium that lives and dies on the quality of its writing. Even the best ensembles will find themselves looking for other work if the writing doesn’t click. And it’s often difficult for TV stars who find success once to land another project with the same caliber of writing (ask Jason Alexander, Brad Garrett, or the cast of Fox’s “Back to You”.)

Referred to by its own leads as “Madder Men,” “Trust Me” is a modern take on the world of advertising,...

TNT has given the green light to "Time Heals," a drama pilot from Emmy-winning writer-producer John Masius.
Produced by Sony Pictures TV, the project centers on Nancy Hawthorne, the strong but caring director of nursing at Charlotte Mercy Hospital in North Carolina, a single mother who always puts the pain of others first.
Masius penned the script and is executive producing the pilot with Spt-based producer Jamie Tarses.
With a strong female character at the center of a classic procedural, "Time Heals" follows in the footsteps of TNT crime dramas "The Closer" and "Saving Grace."
"Time Heals" joins TNT's recently ordered pilot "Night and Day" -- a gritty drama about an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms from Joel Surnow and Todd Robinson -- as well as Ray Romano's buddy drama pilot "Men of a Certain Age," which is about to begin production.
Next for the cable network is the premiere of Steven Bochco's legal drama "Raising the Bar" on Labor Day.
Endeavor-repped Masius, who won an Emmy for his work on "St. Elsewhere," created such series as "Touched by an Angel" and "Providence." He most recently worked on Showtime's "Dead Like Me."...
