Alexandra Daddario in "Mayfair Witches" This week's Best bets By Michelle Rose TV Media Lawyering up: Kathy Bates ("Misery," 1990) as Matlock? That's what CBS is working on. The network recently ordered two drama pilots — its first for the 2023-24 season — that would potentially add two already famous attorneys to its current roster: one of them is the "Good Fight" spinoff "Elsbeth," starring Carrie Preston; and the other is a reboot of "Matlock," the Andy Griffith-led procedural that originally aired on NBC (1986-1992) and ABC (1992- 1995). Bates, an award-winning film and television veteran whose career spans more than five decades, has been tapped to play the lead role of Madeline Matlock in what promises to be a modern take on the original series, which still lives on in syn- dication. If you're wondering why CBS would want to revive a show that aired on two network rivals, the series is owned by Viacom Productions and the rights revert- ed to parent company Paramount Global following the 2019 re- merger of CBS Corporation and Viacom. CBS was also the home of the spinoff series "Jake and the Fatman," which was based on a character from a two-part epi- sode of "Matlock" and ran for eight seasons (1987-1992). That series spawned another spinoff, the Dick Van Dyke-led "Diagnosis: Murder" (1991- 2002), which provided an expla- nation for Matlock's (Griffith) penchant for eating hot dogs: the famously thrifty defense attorney lost his savings after investing in 8-track tapes (based on advice given to him by Van Dyke's char- acter, Dr. Mark Sloan), forcing him to get by on hot dogs. The two pilots would poten- tially air during the 2023-24 broadcast season.
