I would. The other characters are hilarious, specially their mother and Rose.

So, it sounds like Mariska Hargiaty is taking a reduced role on SVU by mid-season and producers are looking for a female dectitive to add to the staff. Jennifer Love Hewitt was quickly mentioned and dismissed (thank God). It is very possible we could see Maura on SVU this winter, if she wants it of course.

I saw a tweet about this, I think, or is that about another show ?
@warrenleighttv what do you think about Maura Tierney as a possible new detective to come in for s13? She's a great actress!

For me, I wouldn't want to see her come on a show like that and replace someone. I'm still hoping that if she decides to do more TV, she does something on cable, something more high caliber and more worthy of her talent than what's on network TV. I still shudder thinking about The Whole Truth, LOL.

I like the idea, if this is something short, like just for this season. Giving her time to enjoy NY and do other stuff.

Plus Mariska says she wants to work with Maura, if MH has a say in who they talk to, Maura may have the inside track. But TPTB have until December at the latest to decide. All I know is you need a tough woman for the role, not someone like Love Hewitt.

I never watched this show so I don't really know what it's about or what to expect of it. If I understand correctly they start their 13th. season, so a show that already exists that long can't be that bad right?
To be honest, I'd be happy to see Maura back on TV, no matter what show. I just need my Maura-fix ;D
Sally, what's TPTB ?

TPTB= The Powers That Be, the people in charge or sometimes I will call them the Idiots in Charge when a show is not going the way I like it. SVU is an awesome show, it is my favorite drama on TV right now. The stories are always something new and interesting and it is now the only surviving show of the Law & Order franchise, so if it is like the original, it could go another 7 seasons.

CBS Buys Adaptation Of Hit Israeli Comedy ‘Life Isn’t Everything’By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Sunday October 30, 2011 @ 8:00pm PDT Tags: Daniel Lappin, Life Isn't Everything, Mike Sikowitz, Noa Tishby Comments (11) CBS has bought Life Isn’t Everything, a comedy based on the successful Israeli sitcom of the same name (Hahaim Ze Lo Hakol in Hebrew). In a first for an adaptation of an Israeli format, the creator of the original series, Daniel Lappin, will be involved in the writing of the U.S. version. Lappin will co-write the script for CBS with comedy veteran Mike Sikowitz (Friends). Sony Pictures TV, where Sikowitz has an overall deal, will produce with Reshet, the Israeli company whose Channel 2 broadcasts the original series. Sikowitz is already in business with CBS and Sony TV – he serves as an executive producer on Rules Of Engagement. Noa Tishby, who brought to the U.S. In Treatment, the Israeli series that sparked U.S. networks’ interest in formats from the Middle Eastern country, shepherded Life Isn’t Everything‘s trip to Hollywood. She is executive producing with Sikowitz, Lappin and an executive from Reshet. CBS’ multi-camera Life Isn’t Everything is about a middle-aged, recently divorced couple who were bad at marriage and discover they are now really bad at divorce – messy, can’t help but being involved in each others’ lives, still have sex, etc. “It is a romantic comedy about a couple who are divorced but can’t get out of each other’s lives,” Lappin said. Added Tishby, “you can’t divorce your ex.” She called the original a “classic, perfectly written sitcom. There is such a high divorce rate in the U.S., and no one has been able to capture the funny side of divorce.” Lappin wrote the pilot for the original series in 1997 loosely based on his life — he was going through separation and later divorce. “The show followed the arc of my life,” he said. He wrote the first season by himself, joined by a writing staff from the second season on. Life Isn’t Everything is Israel’s most successful sitcom. It produced 150 episodes and recently wrapped its ninth and final season on Channel 2 to big ratings. It has averaged 22 audience share throughout its nine seasons, with 33% of all Israeli viewers tuning in for the series finale. Below is a clip from the show with English subtitles. CAA reps the format, Reshet, Lappin and Tishby. Sikowitz is with ICM. This is the second broadcast project based on an Israeli format this development season along with mystery drama Timrot Ashan, aka Pillars of Smoke, at NBC. Additionally, HBO is developing an adaptation of another Israeli mystery drama, The Naked Truth, with Clyde Phillips. Over the last few years, there have been four U.S. scripted series based on Israeli formats: HBO’s In Treatment, CBS’ The Ex List, Fox’s Traffic Light and Showtime’s Homeland. www.deadline.com/2011/10/cbs-buys-adaptation-of-hit-israeli-comedy-life-isnt-everything/#utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I'm super curious about her new projects, so far she said she´s working on a project and will be playing a character she's really interested - she doesn't even want to talk about it. She also mentioned theater....
1. The Affair Sunday, 10 p.m., Showtime Veteran actress Maura Tierney, 50, returns Sunday night for Season 2 of “The Affair” on Showtime. Part of Sunday’s opening episode is told from the point-of-view of Tierney’s character, Helen — who has a very steamy scene with a new lover as she deals with the fallout from her shattered marriage to cheating spouse Noah (Dominic West). “The Affair” is known for its frank portrayal of sex. Are these scenes difficult for you to shoot? No. They’re my most fave! I’m kidding. Yes, they’re awkward. I kind of have to throw my ego out the window. But on our show the writers try to have the sex scenes move the story forward in terms of how the characters are communicating (or not communicating) at that point in the relationship — so hopefully they are serving a purpose in terms of revealing something besides just the bodies. In the season opener, we see Helen paying for a (very expensive) attorney to defend Noah. How will her feelings for Noah evolve over the course of the season? Helen is trying throughout the season to figure out and resolve her feelings for Noah. I’m not sure if she actually gets to that place but that struggle is interesting to play.
“The Affair” received a lot of critical acclaim last season. Does this put additional pressure on the cast to “live up to expectations” in Season 2? Or do you not pay attention to that kind of “outside noise”? I don’t, really. I think maybe for the writers there’s always pressure for the second season of a show that’s done well but nobody talks about that. It doesn’t feel anxious on set in any way. You’ve been a regular presence on TV for quite a while now. Has the success of “The Affair” impacted our career in terms of opening up other doors? I guess it has. There’s some work I’ll be doing early next year [that] I’m excited about. But I feel that I’ve luckily gotten to work on great shows and each of them has led to the other in a certain way. — Michael Starrhttp://nypost.com/2015/10/04/maura-tierney-on-sex-scenes-i-kind-of-have-to-throw-my-ego-out-the-window/
