lawsuitsomething: MGM-UA Television Production Group sued CBS Wednesday in an attempt to block the network from broadcasting a movie starring Kenneth Olin during the season premiere week of an ABC series Olin stars in--”thirtysomething.” The Superior Court lawsuit said CBS knew when it hired Olin to star in “The Charles Stuart Murders” that Olin’s contract with MGM-UA carries an exclusivity restriction. The restriction bars Olin from making any guest appearances in programs to be broadcast during the season’s premiere week of “thirtysomething” or opposite any first run broadcast of an episode of the series. CBS intends to broadcast “The Charles Stuart Murders” Sept. 18 in a time slot opposite the fall premiere of “thirtysomething.”
