I think it's better this TV item wasn't picked up

The Honolulu Pulse spoke with Chinese-American actress Kelly Hu, who's a native of Hawaii, about an unsold TV pilot she'd worked on with Don Johnson, whom she'd co-starred with on Nash Bridges during the 3rd season:
The actress had also hoped she would return to TV-land as a regular character in “A Mann’s World,” a pilot shot for NBC that did not get picked up by the network for the new season. She was going to star opposite Don Johnson, who played the role of a celebrity hairstylist named Allan Mann.

The concept came from Michael Patrick King, who won Emmys for his work on “Sex and the City.” It sounded like a sure thing.

“It’s dead in the water,” Hu said. “It did really sound like it was going to be a great project. It was an amazing cast. Unfortunately, it just didn’t make it. Pilot season is tough. You never know what will get picked up.”
Oh really. If it's a product of that phony leftist King, who produced a series that otherwise did not depict women in the best of lights, I think it's for the best that it didn't get picked up.

However, I do think it's a shame that the producers of the new take on Hawaii 5-0 decided to kill off the character she'd played there recently, named Laura Hills. What was the whole point of that? It's a gimmick that's become very tasteless today.
