SNY Taps Burkhardt To Anchor New Drama Lineup

SNY likes Kevin Burkhardt a lot!  A recent Neilsen survey showed that so far this season Kevin Burkhardt has received more screen time than 46% of the Mets roster.  Whether he is interviewing a celebrity, shooting the breeze with a Mets legend or simply eating a chili dog for the amusement of Gary, Keith, and Ron, no job is too difficult for the man know around SNY as "The Hardt".

Now SNY has chosen Burkhardt to become the backbone of it's new Wednesday night drama lineup.  Burkhardt will play Detective Lance Strongjaw on the new SNY series CSI: Citi Field.  Strongjaw will investigate various crimes in and around Citi Field.   SNY has released the following sneak peak at the storyline of the premier episode:

"Bait & Pitch"
36 million dollars has gone missing from Citi Field.  The only clues are empty taco wrappers scattered around the crime scene.  Lance Stronjaw (Burkhardt) must solve the case and retrieve the money.

The network hopes that CSI: Citi Field will be a strong lead in for it's future programing.  Other shows planned for this season include a hospital drama called D.L. starring Ray Ramirez and a courtroom drama starring Keith Hernandez as take no prisoners D.A. Mex Sanchez.

SNY execs are hopeful that the shows will become the network's top ratings earners.  The top ratings spot on SNY is currently occupied by Gary Matthews Jr.'s Dance Party which airs weekdays at midnight.

  2. C'Mon Mike you gotta write SPOILER ALERT before you give away the ending. Now everyone knows that the taco wrappers were a red herring.
