Ryan and Tatum O'Neal Team Up For Reality TV Show

The squabbles and infighting on TV's current family dramas will be nothing to the possible reality TV show being shopped around by Ryan O'Neal and his daughter, Tatum O'Neal.Variety reports that the estranged pair are now living together for a new show called 'Lost and Found' -- a "docusoap" about to be pitched to networks.
Apparently, the idea came after the death of Farrah Fawcett, and now "the duo will undergo therapy together, and also attempt to get to the root of the resentment Tatum has held toward her father." And, of course, amuse the masses with their dysfunction.
The show will also watch them head off for auditions, date, and the rest of life's daily happenings.
Starbuck moves to detective work

With Battlestar Galactica wrapped and done with, Katee Sackoff is moving on with her career. She has been cast in a detective drama for NBC called Lost and Found about a cop who is sent to the basement as punishment to handle cases that nobody else wants.Sackoff was excellent in her Starbuck role in Battlestar Galactica and I'm very much looking forward to the final episodes in January. She put on such a good performance, in fact, that I hope she isn't typecast as an unstable woman (her role in Bionic Woman was somewhat reminiscent. Her episodes of Nip/Tuck haven't been broadcast yet so I can't comment on them).
There is also the premise of this show. It's one which I've seen before, most notably with The X-Files. Maybe NBC is trying to get that demographic. Will this be another one of those subtle sci-fi shows, such as Lost? If so, I can understand the casting choice since they'd want to pull in the sci-fi fans and Katee would be a familiar face to that bunch. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
NBC picks up Lost and Found

Lost and Found is one of those projects that's been swirling around in the ether for the past couple of years. Chris Levinson penned the one-hour script for NBC a year and a half ago. When the network's old regime passed on the project, it got lost in the shuffle. But now it's been found again, because the network recently gave it the green light. The story, from Wolf Films and Universal Media Studios, centers on Tessa, a quirky, offbeat female LAPD detective who gets sent to the basement to work on John and Jane Doe cases. That's what happens to cops who butt heads with the higher-ups.
But Levinson says don't expect another slick CSI-type drama. "There are exposed pipes, it's grimy and dingy, and can't be further from the glossy 'CSI' shows."
