Well, it’s not an animated, talking, cussing, dolphin that plays baseball, but if picked up, at least we can

Michael Raymond-James

see Michael Raymond-James on a weekly show again. The Hollywood Reporter announced last night that Michael has signed on for the FX pilot, Terriers, from “The Shield” creator Shawn Ryan and “Ocean’s Eleven” writer Ted Griffin. Michael is joined by Donal Logue, Kimberly Quinn, Laura Allen and Rockmond Dunbar.

“The Fox21-produced “Terriers” centers on Hank (Logue), an ex-cop who partners with his best friend Britt (James) to launch an unlicensed P.I. business in which the duo, both with maturity issues, solve crimes while trying to avoid danger and responsibility. The show will combine stand-alone episodes with overarching mystery.

Quinn will play Hank’s ex-wife, who maintains a friendly relationship with him. Allen will play Britt’s girlfriend, who’s putting pressure on him to have kids.

Dunbar will play Hank’s former partner, a detective with the San Diego Police Department.”

Terriers will be directed by Craig Brewer, who also worked with Michael in Black Snake Moan, and, in fact, recommended him for this part. Way to go Michael!
