Only a few years ago, TV was still considered a wasteland, where careers went to die. But for a while now the the most challenging and creative work has been on boob tube. For a minute it was just HBO, then some Showtime. Now the stuff on basic cable kicks the ass of almost anything on network TV and most movies too.

That, and Cheadle gets to exec produce?

Why he'd do a TV show isn't the question.

The real question is, why revisit Crash? I guess he owns a piece and that's that. But I'd like the think Cheadle might have some other fresher ideas for a TV show.
