 The
recipient of the George Foster Peabody Award for Excellence in Broadcasting
2003, Boomtown has been ranked number one in the The Best
of 2002 TV listing. Essentially a crime drama, the show analyses
one crime from the eyes of different people who play a part in unfolding
the crime.
Speaking about Boomtown, AXN's assistant vice president,
marketing and sales, Rohit Bhandari was quoted in a press release,
"It is a slickly shot drama. With espionage drama 24
and CSI, we had a strong drama band created. In Boomtown,
a bunch of seven people, each from a different walk of life, two
world-weary Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) cops, an ambitious
District Attorney, the hope-giving paramedic and the nervy newspaper
beat reporter. Each of the characters recounts the incident as he
or she sees it."
The drama stars Donnie Wahlberg, Jason Gedrick, Neal McDonough
and Lana Parilla and is directed by Emmy winner Graham Yost and
Jon Avnet.
 The
next launch in the pipeline The Shield stars Emmy award recipient
Chiklis as Detective Vic Mackey.
The company release says, this American Fox production, tells the
story of Mackey who commands a group special of the police station
in Farmington, Los Angeles. It is a story about honest policemen
who try to unmask the corrupt team.
