"Vegas" (CBS) There is a lot wrong with CBS' new drama "Vegas," but let's start with the title. Half of the people who bother to tune in are going to be confused by the name. They will undoubtedly think the new series is a remake of either Robert Urich's "Vegas," which ran on ABC from 1978-81, or they're going to mistake it for a remake of James Caan's "Las Vegas." That one aired on NBC from 2003-08. It's neither. Instead, this "Vegas" sluggishly takes us back to the 1960s just as the gangsters took over. Dennis Quaid stars as Ralph Lamb, a sheriff determined to keep order by any means necessary. And Michael Chiklis stars as Vincent Savino, a mobster who wants Lamb to take a hike. Unfortunately, viewers will want "Vegas" to take a hike after they realize it's not a remake, the dialogue is stale and -- worst yet -- Chiklis is underutilized. "Vegas" premieres Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Bing: More about Dennis Quaid | 'Vegas' Want more TV? Be sure to follow MSN TV on Facebook and Twitter (CBS) |
