Made in Jersey schedule

Made in Jersey pulled from schedule

The show has been cancelled and pulled off the air, so it might be a while before we see those two episodes. From TV by the Numbers:

With the return of Undercover Boss on Nov. 2, CSI: NY will move to the 9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT time period beginning this Friday, Oct. 12. Made In Jersey has been pulled from the schedule.

No word yet on when & where CBS will show the remaining eps.

Eric to guest on Made in Jersey

From EW:

Actor-turned-director Eric Stoltz will turn to acting again in November to guest star on CBS’ new legal drama Made in Jersey.

EW has learned exclusively that Stoltz will play Marcus Wheaton, the mysterious and controlling leader of Wheaton Farms in upstate New York. Martina (Janet Montgomery) represents the wealthy parents of a teen girl who ran away to live within this farm aka cult.

I nosed through the audition scenes for the next few episodes and, while there’s no mention of a character named Marcus Wheaton, episode 1.07 sounds like it might be the one (careful, big spoilers):

The unconfirmed air date is Friday, November 9, at 9/8c on CBS.

Episode 1.05, “Ridgewell,” which Eric directed, airs on October 26.
