Film News Briefs reported last week that ABC has greenlit a new mockumentary show. "187Detroit" will star stage actor John Michael Hill. Hill has played in "Hairspray" and "The Boy from Oz." His character on the new show will be a rookie homicide detective. I like A&E's "The First 48" will follows real life detectives working real life homicide cases. I anxiously await this scripted version which will be able to offer satisfying endings. Check back for updates on this show.
