There you have the challenge facing Michael Chernuchin, the creator of TNT's new series Bull (Tuesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.), as he speculates on the appeal of Wall Street drama. (Fox will do likewise in November with Darren Star's randy The $treet.) True, medical and legal shows have upper-class heroes, but we focus more on Ally's sex life than her 401(k) balance. Whereas a mergers and acquisitions specialist on Bull talks about having a kid in a $17,000-a-year private school (he bets that much on Mets games too). We're meant to empathize...
...networks doubted viewers would agree. But for a cable channel launching its first-ever series, Bull's risk seems worth the potential return. "We wanted to do something that would distinguish ourselves," says TNT programming president Robert DeBitetto. And Chernuchin was able to snag big-screen actors Stanley Tucci and Donald Moffat; Ryan O'Neal has signed for a guest spot...

Next month an all-star tribute to Marley will be held in Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica, featuring performers ranging from Sarah McLachlan to Busta Rhymes (it will air on TNT Dec. 19). And next month Bob Marley: Soul Rebel (Thunder's Mouth; 144 pages; $22.95), by former Billboard reporter Maureen Sheridan, will be released, detailing the stories behind Marley's songs. Earlier this year a Marley-themed restaurant/ club opened at Universal Studios CityWalk in Orlando, Fla. The menu features...
There are nearly 30 gay or lesbian characters in prime time (depending on how you count and categorize them). Most are post-Ellen additions, and they are no longer limited to bit roles and punch lines (though TNT dropped a stereotypically gay "character" from World Championship Wrestling after receiving complaints about gay bashing). ABC's Oh Grow Up and Wasteland feature gay leads with actual, if tentative, love lives (Ford, a lawyer who's just left his marriage, and Russell, a closeted soap actor). Action has two gay regulars; one is Bobby G., a ruthless studio head whose massive male...
