CBS has pulled its Martha Stewart biopic, “Martha: Behind Bars,” from its previously announced berth on May 25–the final day of the 2004-05 season. In its place will go the true-crime story “Amber Frey: Witness for the Prosecution,” about Scott Peterson’s former girlfriend (played by “The West Wing’s” Janel Moloney) and her involvement in his murder case.
The Stewart movie, starring Cybill Shepherd, doesn’t have a new air date. CBS says it will announce one “at a later time.”
Meanwhile, the Frey movie could have moved from a bad to worse spot. It was first scheduled to air May 22, opposite the season finales of ABC’s ratings monsters “Desperate Housewives” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” In its new home, the movie’s first hour will air opposite the season-ending hours of Fox’s “American Idol” and ABC’s “Lost.”
