Chase creator/executive producer Jennifer Johnson has joined ABC’s drama pilot Georgetown as executive producer/showrunner.

Johnson, repped by WME and attorney Matt Johnson, will exec produce alongside Fetters, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Len Goldstein. Mark Piznarski is directing.
Greg Plageman (Cold Case) is set as executive producer/showrunner of CBS’ drama pilot Person of Interest. The WBTV/Bad Robot project, written by Jonah Nolan, stars Jim Caviezel as an ex-CIA agent, presumed dead, who teams up with a reclusive billionaire (Michael Emerson), to prevent violent crimes in New York City. Plageman, repped by WME and attorney Jared Levine, serves as an exec producer with Nolan, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk. David Semel is directing. Both Johnson and Plageman are under overall deals at WBTV and worked together on Cold Case and Chase.

Jennifer Johnson is a great writer. It was Jeff Zucker’s fault that Chase sucked.
She is super talented…
But I don’t think Zucker was in the writer’s room everyday on that one. The characters blew.
She should follow in Veena Sud’s footsteps…
Less cliche = more cash. I think.
Dealt with both of them on Cold Case. Very nice – but
soooo slow with making decisions. Hopefully experience
has helped with that. Good luck.

Really? You’re blaming Zucker. Chase was a terribly written cliche fest that was dead on arrival. ZSucker destroyed the network but he didn’t write that show. It was excruciating.
So are CBS shows but they get good ratings.
