Telly Alert. #006:

K Street (HBO, premieres Sunday, September 14th, 10:30 p.m.; 10 p.m. thereafter)

Another new HBO show. Not sure what to make of this one. It could be interesting if Soderbergh can get this kind of stuff:

"Mr. Soderbergh wants the templates for the show to be "The War Room," Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker's documentary about the first Clinton presidential campaign, and "The Candidate," the 1972 Robert Redford movie that Mr. Soderbergh regards as the best fictional depiction of the political process."

Under these deadlines:

"To remain on top of the news, the episodes will be outlined and shot on an extremely tight schedule. Each week's installment will be hammered out and finished in three days, beginning on the Monday before each Sunday's air date. Editing will be done on Thursday and Friday."
