The Comanche Moon miniseries is finally set to air on CBS. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. It’s the last of the adaptations of the books, and again Larry McMurtry was a co-screenwriter so it will be very true to the story. There are a bunch of clips available on CBS’s website so I checked them all out. It looks like Steve Zahn and Karl Urban were good choices for Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call. Those are hard characters to live up to, especially since the great portrayals of them by Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones in the Lonesome Dove miniseries. The rest of the casting looks to be good as well. It starts January 13, and continues on the 15th and 16th, from 9-11pm each night. Definitely watch this. (Also read the four books and watch the other three miniseries if you haven’t.)
