Hearts in Atlantis just opened up in Japan, as per Yoshiko, of the David Morse Fan Site Japan. She was gracious enough to send to DMO images from the HIA program booklet. The movie program booklet is a practice common to very many countries, but not the USA. Unfortunately.

This Hollywood Reporter story mentions Hack saying:

"On Friday, five new dramas will duke it out for a piece of the audience that has turned NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit into a hit in the 10 p.m. berth. Fox's sci-fi entry Firefly will have the younger drama demo all to itself in the 8 p.m. hour, but it'll be a three-way brawl at 9 p.m. among Hack, CBS' quirky cab-driver vehicle that was a hit with ad buyers at the network's upfront presentation, ABC's That Was Then and Fox's John Doe. CBS' RHD/LA squares off against Law & Order: SVU at 10 p.m. " (5/17)

Yoshiko of the David Morse Fan Site Japan has found this story saying:

Friday:

Even with a new title change (and without Dan Rather), 48 Hours Investigates is still likely to lose the ratings battle to NBC's tired Providence. And given the competition at 8 p.m. (not much in my opinion),I personally would have liked to see CBS open the night more aggressively. Although NBC's Law & Order: SVU has no worries opposite the Miami Vice-like RHD/LA, a potential sleeper next season is CBS's Hack, which inherits the time period that CSI successfully debuted in two years ago. If anything, maybe Hack will open the door to some new male Emmy acting nominations in the drama category next season."

Here is CBS' official Hack page.

This story describes CBS' official presentation of the 2002 Fall line-up Wednesday, at Carnegie Hall in NYC. Saying,

"As for the main event, the unveiling of CBS' new primetime slate, Moonves described the new crop of comedies and dramas as "stylish," "cool" and, in certain cases, "a little out of the ordinary for CBS." The new shows that generated the strongest buzz among buyers were the comedy Still Standing, revolving around a blue-collar Chicago couple with three kids, and Hack, a drama about a cop-turned-taxi driver who seeks redemption for past wrongs by helping people in need.

"I think they have some really good possibilities," Carat USA president Charles Rutman said. "I think Still Standing has possibilities, and Hack looks very interesting."

This Variety story also mentions Hack saying,

"CBS' only new drama not landing a 10 p.m. slot is Hack, which will instead air Fridays at 9 p.m. Moonves seemed particularly high on this "Equalizer"-like hour about a crimsolving ex-cop (David Morse) who now drives a taxi. "

"Bruckheimer will be joined by another big-name filmmaker, Spider-Man and Panic Room scribe David Koepp, who will make his TV debut with Hack, which was picked up by CBS on Monday in advance of the network's fall schedule presentation, set for Wednesday.

As part of the Hack pickup, David Shore, most recently an executive producer on CBS' Family Law, has been tapped as the showrunner on the Big Ticket/Pariah/CBS Prods. show, which stars David Morse as a cop-turned-taxi driver. Shore will executive produce alongside Koepp and Gavin Polone. " (5/14)
