Craig Silverstein Named One of the Top 50 Power Showrunners for 2011!

Posted on by

We Invisible Man fans have always recognized the incredible talent of Craig Silverstein.  The I-Man episodes he wrote are always among our favorites.  He was even described as a young savant by one of the cast members (I forget which one.  Vince, I think?).  It’s been exciting to see Craig’s career skyrocket, although I have to admit that I would love to see Craig writing more I-Man.

Now Craig has been named one of the “Top 50 Power Showrunners 2011” by the Hollywood Reporter!  How cool is that?  It couldn’t happen to nicer or more talented guy.  Check out the write up in the Hollywood Reporter:

It’s hard enough to get one show on TV but, impressively, Craig has two shows currently on the air:  Nikita and Terra Nova!  Here’s a little bit of info about each of them.

Nikita

The second season of Nikita is already underway. Craig is executive producer of the show and he’s been pretty active promoting the show.  He started giving us tidbits of info about the new season this summer during Comic-Con and the info keeps on coming. I’ve compiled a bunch of these recent videos from around the web of our favorite I-Man writer himself talking about Nikita.

Nikita airs Fridays at 8 p.m./7 p.m. Central on the CW.  Be sure to check your local listings for the time and channel in your area.

Terra Nova 

Craig also is an executive producer on the new sci-fi series, Terra Nova.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, he is credited with being one of the co-creators, although I’m not sure how much actual hands on day-to-day involvement he has with the series.

The sci-fi lover in me is really starting to enjoy this series.  Have any of you been watching it?  If not, you might want to give it a try.  It airs on Mondays at 8 p.m./7 p.m. Central on FOX (again, check your local listings).

2011 has turned into a very good year for Craig with two successful series concurrently on the air and being named one of the Top 50 Power Showrunners.

Congratulations, Craig!

A Shout Out From Craig Silverstein

Posted on by

Imagine my surprise just now when reading an interview of Craig Silverstein on The Hollywood Reporter website and seeing this:

I happen to be one of those “two women running the booth” that Craig is speaking about here.  It was the nicest surprise to be sitting at the booth and suddenly I-Man writer Craig Silverstein walks up.  I remember blurting out, “Oh, my goodness, Craig Silverstein.”  I recognized him immediately.  He was very gracious and we chatted a bit.  He signed the petition and even posed for us in the booth.

I can’t take credit for the comic book.  The gal who ran the booth with me is a very talented artist.  She’s the one who was responsible for Craig’s prized possession.

A New Look for Vince

Posted on by

Vincent Ventresca recently guest starred in an episode of Hot in Cleveland last month. Fortunately for us, it’s not too late to see it.  The episode, entitled “Unseparated at Birthdates,” will air again tomorrow, July 17, at 9:30 a.m. on TV Land.  Be sure to check listings for the exact time and channel in your area.  If you don’t get TV Land, you can, also, watch it immediately online here.

In this episode Vince plays Dr. Doug; and he’s sporting a whole lot more hair than ever before.  In fact, his look gets quite a reaction from Valerie Bertinelli’s character!

So what do you think of Vincent’s new look?


“In Plain Sight” Season 4 Starts Tomorrow!

Paul in CSI:NY

Posted on by

Paul Ben-Victor appeared in last week’s episode of CSI:NY.  I knew about it ahead of time, but forgot to tell all of you and for that I apologize.  The only excuse I can give is that I’ve been busy fixing my computer issues.  I had no choice but to replace my dying ancient 10-year-old computer and I’m now busy with my new one…so much to do yet, what with loading software and getting all my files moved over and organized.  But it feels great to have a computer that actually works!

So, while you may have missed out watching Paul on TV, you can still catch the episode, entitled “Party Down,” online at the official CSI:NY website.  I’m not sure how long they keep the episodes up, but I suspect it may only be for a week.  So if you want to watch it, I recommend you do so before Friday!
