Marcus Welby, M.D. star James Brolin is ready for change, as he is joining a comedy. He has been announced as a star of an upcoming CBS pilot Life in Pieces. James will play John Short, the family patriarch who finds himself in a mid life crisis. So far not much is known about this role or show, but it seems to be a nice change of pace for James as he continues to act this late in his life. No word yet on how interested CBS is or if we can expect a actual pilot order.
I gotta say, it sounds fun. I miss Parenthood and this one may fit the void of that show. It seems like a decent one that will bring something new to the table, while also having a decent sized name attached. Hopefully this will be enough for CBS to seriously consider it as a possible show.
