So NBC is going to have an Irish O.C. show on soon, with Sopranos ending soon are they trying to create a new show for us mafia junkies to get hooked on?

For those of you who haven't seen the endless previews on NBC, below I've bootlegged some info from Wikipedia.

I wonder if it'll be any good...


The Black Donnellys is a new dramatic television program coming to NBC in the United States and to Global Television Network in Canada during the Spring of 2007. It has been confirmed that it will premiere on Monday, February 26 at 10 p.m., taking over Studio 60's time slot while that show is on hiatus. [1] The Pilot episode was leaked on the internet midway through 2006 and was available through several file sharing communities, and is also currently available from Netflix.

The show follows four young Irish-American brothers in New York's infamous Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood and their involvement with organized crime.[2]

The show was created by Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Thirtysomething, Crash, Casino Royale, Flags Of Our Fathers) and written by Robert Moresco (Million Dollar Baby, Crash). The show's cast includes Billy Lush, Tom Guiry, Jonathan Tucker, Michael Stahl-David, Joe D'Onofrio, and Olivia Wilde.

In creating the show, Haggis, a native of London, Ontario, has strongly referenced his hometown's local history about the real-life Black Donnellys and the massacre associated with their name.



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
