A look at some noteworthy programs this week:

In one such case, when Mr. Eisner was head of Paramount Pictures in the early 1980's, he got into an argument with his friend, the producer Larry Gordon, over whether Mr. Gordon could take the project "Streets of Fire" to Universal Pictures, which had agreed to finance it. When Mr. Eisner learned the project went to Universal, he refused to speak to Mr. Gordon, going so far as to jump off a dock with his shoes on when he saw Mr. Gordon approaching the lake at a summer camp their two sons were attending.Anyway, this movie is just dying to be made, at least on the USA Network, though HBO would do a classier job with it. Treat Williams could play Mike Ovitz again...as for men to play Eisner and Bob Iger, all middle-aged white men sorta look the same to us, so maybe it's time to go to Fametracker's Hey, It's That Guy!.

Robert Leuci, the undercover cop who exposed the corruption in police ranks and was the basis of the book, Prince of the City, is mentioned in the Times. The film, Prince of the City, was based on the Richard Daley book, and stars Treat Williams as the Leuci-type cop, but more importantly, it stars Jerry Orbach, Gothamist's favorite actor this side of Hugh Jackman. And J.K. Simmons. According to Amazon, Prince and the City is for Law & Order and Homicide addicts, which Gothamist definitely is.
