Comanche Moon moves airdate

Looks like the folks at CBS have come to their senses: Rather than dump the epic Western miniseries Comanche Moon into an end-of-year graveyard slot, as originally planned, the network will air this Lonesome Dove prequel at 9 p.m. EST Jan. 13, 15 and 16. Why the change of heart? Well, the decision doubtless has a lot to do with the fact CBS, like all other networks impacted by the ongoing writers' strike, isn't in any position right now to waste new scripted programming.

In any event, here is an interview with actor Karl Urban (pictured above), who plays Woodrow F. Call (a character portrayed in previous miniseries by Tommy Lee Jones, Jon Voight and James Garner). And here is an interview with E.R. star Linda Cardellini, who co-stars as Clara, a character played in the original Lonesome Dove miniseries by Anjelica Huston.
