CBS is developing its first original entertainment content for cell phones, a soap opera that will run five to seven original episodes a week, at three to five minutes a pop.
The network's daytime department is handling the project, which will be created by writer-producer James Dutcher and Leah Hecker.
Story arcs could last as long as three months. Casting has not yet commenced, and it's not yet clear what services might carry the show.
More than likely this will have no impact on Toobworld, unless CBS decides to launch the production with appearances by some of its established characters from its four TV-based soaps. ('As The World Turns', 'Guiding Light', 'The Young & The Restless' and 'The Bold & The Beautiful')
But one major reason I mentioned it is because it's already adding to the lexicon - it's being dubbed "mobisoap" for "mobile soap".
Mobisoap. Ewwwwwww. It's cringe-worthy!

REASONS WHY NOT IN PROGRESS
In his review for both 'Emily's Reasons Why Not' and 'Jake In Progress' in the NY Daily News, David Bianculli concluded with this:
"If Jake and Emily paired up on a date soon, there's a chance one of their shows could survive - by hiring both leads. Otherwise, there may be more than enough reasons why both shows, in their current incarnations, won't survive the year."
But Jake lives in Manhattan, and Emily's in Santa Monica; from one end of the country to another. And in the Trueniverse, that might be a real detriment to even meeting, let alone dating.
They live in Toobworld, however, and such logistical obstacles can always be overcome. If George Burns could turn up in a small diner in Arizona ('Alice'), and Sammy Davis, Jr., hang out at Archie Bunker's home ('All In The Family'), and Larry David could wind up in Heaven ('Curb Your Enthusiasm'), then getting these two kids together is child's play.
Emily Sanders is an editor for a publishing company, and Jake Phillips is a publicist. Sooner or later, one of Jake's clients will want to write a tell-all confessional memoir, and Jake may want to shop it to Emily's company or she might actively campaign to land it for herself.
Or she might represent a book by someone whom Jake would NOT want to see published, and from that initial conflict, sparks could fly.
At least until Jake fulfills the five reasons "why not".....
So if the producers of both shows wanted to do a crossover - and they may have to, given the reviews and ratings! - that could be the way to go.

A LILY RUSH & A BABY BE BOPPED
The week's hardly begun and I'm ready to call a winner for the best quote of the week:
Lily: I swear to God if I so much as catch you even breathing the same air as her, I will take those peanuts you're trying to pass off as testicles and squeeze them so hard, your eyes pop out and then I will feed them to you like grapes!
Barney: Which? My eyes or my testicles?
Lily: One of each!
from 'How I Met Your Mother'
Also I think I could call the best sight gag of the week as well: Naomi bopping her baby's head on the door frame as she brought it home from the hospital for the first time on 'Jake In Progress'.
I may be alone on that opinion; I have a friend who's an ADA and it pissed him off. I guess that doesn't play "funny" in the 'Law & Order' segment of Toobworld.....

TELE-GENETICS: "VERONICA MARS"/"ER"
Cress Williams recently played a police detective named Nathan Woods from Chicago on several episodes of 'Veronica Mars'.
Back in 2000, he was also playing Officer Reggie Moore on 'ER', which takes place in Chicago.
They could be identical cousins, which of course has an established .precedent in Toobworld.
They could also be half-brothers, with either the same father or the same mother, and that would account for the change in surnames. But that seems like such a cliched, and maybe even non-PC, supposition.
And I'd much rather use the splainin that sets Toobworld truly apart from the Real World.

O'BSERVATIONS: "THE BOOK OF DANIEL"
I was hoping for some of that Divine intervention while watching my tape from Friday of 'The Book of Daniel'. I was hoping to find something to link it to another show.
But the closest I got was mention of Bishop Congreve's resume - that she holds a chair in Divinity at Yale. Yale, in New Haven, Ct., is one of the most popular schools for Toobworld characters ever; most significantly on 'The Gilmore Girls' the last few years. There have been more than a dozen shows in which a major character had connections to Yale:
'St. Elsewhere'
'Mad About You'
'The Gilmore Girls'
'Stark Raving Mad'
'The Sopranos'
'Amen'
'Beggars and Choosers'
'For Love Or Money'
'My Favorite Martian'
'The Associates'
'Batman'
'Married People'
'Six Feet Under'
'Breaking News'
'Peacemakers'
'The Lyons' Den'
'Will & Grace'
'The West Wing'
'As the World Turns'
'Route 66'
'The Adventures Of Briscoe County Jr.' (Judge Gatt, not Briscoe)
What's great about Yale is that it's Ivy League, but not really so pretentious with that haughty stuck-up blue-blood attitude you get from Harvard characters (like Thurston Howell III).
But it's also a real school, and thus just that much fun as a link for Toobworld. It's like saying 'Taxi' and 'CSI:NY' are connected because they're both set in NYC. ('Taxi' is connected to 'Law & Order', though, since the Sunshine Cab Co. appeared in an 'L&O' episode.)
For most of 'The Book of Daniel', I felt there there far too many moments that had the air of being too scripted. Like when Grace found her gay brother Peter (And we were never allowed to forget he was gay!) trying to chat up a prospective boyfriend in church. She teased him with "Don't forget to show him your -#" just as their Grandfather (the Bishop!) shouted "Peter!"
Too scripted and over-acted was my complaint regarding the third sibling, the adopted son of Chinese descent. I just didn't find him as a character to be believable; I couldn't see past the actor acting. (I had no trouble believing his circumstances to be possible.)
I've heard that there are Episcopalian ministers who are embracing the show (It's about their faith.) and urging their congregations to watch it. The ones who should be upset are the Catholics, as the show suggested there's quite a close connection to the Church and the Mafia.
Here's a Toobworld puzzle: Why is it that when you see a Catholic priest on TV, he's always addressed by his first name? Father Tim ('Soap'), Father Brian ('The Mary Tyler Moore Show') and now Father Frank in this (played by Dan Hedaya).
I did enjoy the gimmick of ending each segment of the show by freezing the frame into a stained-glass window. It was reminiscent of how each quarter of 'The Wild, Wild West' ended. Only with the window, we'd get to see all of the panels in advance, so after a while I was amusing myself by trying to guess the situation and/or the characters involved in the glass depiction. (The easiest was Reverend Webster chasing the woman through a cemetary. I guessed Bishop Congreve when they showed a woman in a car; it turned out to be "Mrs. Darth Vader", a church leader.)
Reverend Don Wildmon can blow it out his ass. As a Catholic, I didn't find anything wrong with the portrayal of Jesus in the two-hour pilot. In fact, Jesus - and His camaraderie with Reverend Webster - was the only really interesting and believable part of the show. I could have done with less of the family histrionics and just spent more time hanging out with these two guys as they bantered.
I hope they take in a movie together. It would be really interesting to get His take on 'Brokeback Mountain'.....
It was obvious that His appearance to Daniel was a manifestation of Reverend Webster's inner turmoil and how his conversations with God played out. I'll bet a lot of people don't even "speak" to Jesus, and so the visualization of Webster's conversations must have seemed blasphemous - when in reality, they were just being envious.
And I think a lot of these holier than thou fruitcakes who claim to speak for God and want you to fear the Lord are really only interested in getting you to fear them instead.
By the end of the two hours, once I learned that it would be showing on Fridays at 10 pm, I was tempted to put it aside as 'Monk' will be returning this coming Friday. Sure, that's repeated several times during the week, and yeah, even the next morning usually; but I'd much rather watch a tape of 'Monk' while eating my Clusters cereal after my overnight shift than 'The Book of Daniel'.
Then again.... It is such a limited run, and 'Monk' does repeat...... I probably will stick it out with 'The Book of Daniel' for the next six weeks.
Just so I can stick it to the American Family Association in my own small way.....

ADDENDUM: THE "B&B"/"Y&R" CROSSOVER
from CBS.com:
John McCook brought his character Eric Forrester over from 'The Bold and the Beautiful' to wish Lauren good wishes.
“He's truly happy for her,” noted John. “He met Michael a few months ago and we had serious conversation about Sheila, filling him in on her. And [Michael] bought a dress from me for Lauren as they were courting. There's no residual stuff between Lauren and Eric but a lovely friendship and kind of a wink as she went down the aisle. I wish her well but it's not heavy hearted. He's very happy to wish her well.”
And from a fan site, this play-by-play recap:
The guests mingle and mill about. Put out at not being introduced to Eric Forrester, Vikki tells him she's running the company. He wishes his sons Thorne and Ridge could get along as amicably. "May the best Newman win". Vikki then quietly tells her Mom. Just keep in mind the word IS Newman, Nikki replies pointedly.
Lauren and Mike dance to a trumpet solo. JT looks put out as Mac and Kevin join in (as do John and Gloria, Scott and Joanna. Nikki and Victor - Eric and Jill - Ash and Paul. Phyllis and Jack. Chris and Nick)
Eric has to go due to an early morning meeting in LA. Lauren gives him a hug - great to see you so beautiful and happy, he says - talk to you after the honeymoon. Mike comes to tell Lauren it's time to go.
Also from that December 9th broadcast: the musical performer for the wedding reception was jazz trumpeter Chris Botti, who's worked with Paul Simon and Sting, and who scored the movie "Caught".

UNDER THE RADAR
At least in this dimension, I only have the two eyes, and limited resources to view as much as I would like. So if it weren't for sites like TVTattle, TVSquad, TVgasm, and Zap2It.TV, a lot more might slip my notice.
But stuff does escape my detection, like the Crossover of the Week featuring 'Medium'. And now I find out I missed another crossover from near the end of 2005.
Eric Forrester, patriarch of the Forrester fashion dynasty in Los Angeles, flew to Genoa City, Wisconsin, to attend the wedding of old friend Lauren Fenmore to Michael Baldwin.
He not only traveled cross-country, but he also crossed over from 'The Bold & The Beautiful' to 'The Young & The Restless'.
If my Mom had been up to snuff, she might have been able to tell me about this, as 'Y&R' is her favorite "story". But with age, combined with her physical therapy schedules, she probably doesn't see as much of the show as she once did... and even then doesn't retain half of that in her memory.....
At any rate, it wasn't Earth Prime Time-shaking news, as 'B&B' and 'Y&R' have crossed over often. Lauren and her late husband Dr. Scott Grainger took up residence in both shows, as did their psycho bitch nemesis, Sheila Carter.

CROSSOVER OF THE WEEK
I've written in the past about the Divine intervention that I believe I receive when it comes to flipping channels; that I always hpapen to land on something I could use for Toobworld at just the right moment.
The way I figger it, a lot of planning Upstairs went into the latest example, and it came at the right time because I had bupkis for this week's Crossover.
I took Saturday night off from work so that I could go to Connecticut. I had been invited to the surprise birthday and retirement party for my friend Maurice Steinberg in Torrington. The change in my natural sleep habits (I work overnight) and all the travel did me in; so I was back at my sister's house by 9 pm.
As she isn't living there year round, my sister pays for minimal cable service and I was severely limited in what to watch. So I chose 'Medium' over the Britcoms on PBS.
'Medium' was a repeat of the season premiere, but it was new to me as I've only seen three other episodes. And had it not been for all of that set-up, getting my cosmic ducks and drakes in a row, I never would have known about the crossover!
Mrs. DuBois kept having this interrupted dream about a sperm bank in 1983. And in one of the rooms where a donor made his deposit, there was a pile of magazines for "inspiration". And at the top of that pile?
Playpen Magazine.
Playpen is a member of the TV Crossover Hall Of Fame, inducted with other publications like the National Inquisitor, the NY Ledger, the LA Sun and the LA Tribune. But Playpen has the most appearances in other TV shows.
'Ally McBeal' - Like on 'Medium', it was a source of inspiration. Ally smuggled a copy into prison so that a client could smuggle out a deposit to impregnate his wife.
'Renegade' - Reno had to protect the grande dame who owned the company.
'That Girl' - Ann Marie found her head superimposed on a nude centerfold's body.
'The X-Files' - Fox Mulder had a big collection of the magazine.
'Millennium' - A murder victim had an even bigger collection; he had a copy of every issue published up to the point of his death.
'CSI' - An issue was found during the execution of a search warrant following the death of a baby.
'Homicide: Life On The Street' - Meldrick claimed that he only read it for the articles. Uh-huh....
And it even surfaced in the Tooniverse, on an episode of 'Family Guy'.
Now, if only another show would have a character eating Nutty Nuggets for breakfast, like the D.A. of 'Medium', then the addition of this show to the official TV Universe might be more secure.
But I've also got an historical missing link based on location, location, location.
This episode featured Captain Push...... I'm thinking one of his ancestors founded the town of 'Push, Nevada'.......

TOOBWORLD: THE NEXT GENERATION
I am preparing the next generation of televisiologists.....
I received this email from Taiwan, where the "Kids Having Kids" (Sean & Gosia) are spending two years teaching. (They're the parents of my god-daughter, Rhiannon.)
Here's what Sean had to say about his oldest tyke, Eli.....
So, this morning, Eli explained to me about how, yesterday, he was watching the Lilo and Stitch tv show and it "connected" (in his words) with another show! Some characters from another disney show had come to Hawaii on vacation. I explained to Eli that this was known as a crossover. I thought you would be proud of him. he was intrigued by the concept. :)
Eli was referring to a Crossover of the Week - WHICH I JUST REALIZED I DIDN'T LIST IN THE 2005 RUNDOWN! - from last August. It was on 'Lilo & Stitch' as the boy says, and it featured characters crossing over from 'Kim Possible'.
I have big, I say, big plans for that boy!
HRMmmmmmm..... Suddenly I want to wack a guard dog on the butt with a two-by-four.....

OUT OF CONTEXT MESSAGING
They were wrapping up the interview with Tamara Tunie on NBC's 'Sunday Today' this morning, and she was asked if she felt as though she had finally made it. After all, she's starring on both 'As The World Turns' and 'Law & Order: SVU', and she was on Broadway last year with Denzel Washington in "Julius Caesar".
And she was happy with her lot in life, but she would never stop reaching for more, saying:
"I'm still shooting up."
Welllll, doggies! I wonder what people thought when they flipped over to NBC at the exact moment to hear just that!
