New TV Show Buzz from Televisionista

NBC's new drama The Black Donnellys from Oscar winner Paul Haggis begins next Monday night after an all-new Heroes (10:03 PM ET/PT), but for those of you eager to see the pilot, Yahoo! TV is already streaming the first episode.

The drama created by Crash writers Haggis and Bobby Moresco tells the story of four young working-class Irish-American brothers who live by the motto "family first" despite their involvement with organized crime in New York City.

The Black Donnellys will have the benefit of airing following two very exciting episodes of Heroes and opposite CSI: Miami reruns in March.

If the drama does better than Studio 60, the network will probably keep it in the timeslot until the end of the season.

Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
