Court TV won't hear 'Crier'
Court TV has pulled the plug on Catherine Crier Live. "As part of Court TV's rebranding strategy, we have decided not to renew the Catherine Crier' Live' show," the network said Tuesday. "The 5-6 p.m. hour is slated to feature the type of real-life stories that have given our primetime lineup such strong ratings momentum." Crier also is leaving her post as executive editor, legal news specials, at Court TV. Crier, which debuted in February 2001, will have its last telecast April 27. The network will fill the slot with repeats of Psychic Detectives, at least for the short term. Court TV's rebrand, which includes a new name for the network, is set to launch Jan. 1.

Waters put on 'Death' watch by Court TV
Court TV is trying its first original scripted series, ordering a pilot for a murder-mystery anthology featuring filmmaker John Waters. The cable channel expects to order 12 more episodes of 'Til Death Do Us Part, which will dramatize real-life cases of spousal murder. Waters will take on a regular role as the Groom Reaper in Death, setting the story for the viewer from his vantage point as a guest at the tragic couple's wedding, where each episode begins. Shooting in New York this month, Death will begin airing in the first quarter in Court TV's primetime entertainment block, which previously was filled with unscripted fare including Forensic Files and Psychic Detectives. But seeing how Psychic influenced hit dramas like NBC's Medium helped persuade the network to take a chance on scripted series.
