yeah, they pretty much have to know what they're picking up today/tomorrow so that talent can be flown to NYC.

That makes complete sense! I guess when they announce their schedule re-arrangement on Thursday or Friday, they won't need the actors there. Hee.

It’s no easy task, especially when his reluctant new partner is as jaded as Dani Reese. Charlie’s appreciation for life’s details not only offers up unique insights into each crime, it reminds us of all the little things we take for granted.

Of all the leaks coming out on the NBC pick-ups and schedule permutations, I still haven't seen an indication of whether Raines is cancelled or not. Does anyone have the low-down on its status?

Unfortunately I think this show won't be coming back unless NBC notes the growth out of not such a great lead in Identity.
