The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the possibility that the death scene of Wendy Blackstone, sister of television producer Jill Blackstone, may have been staged. Wendy Blackstone initially seemed to have died due to carbon monoxide poisoning from a barbecue grill in the garage of the San Fernando Valley residence that the sisters shared. A suicide note was found in Wendy’s hand, but police are now questioning the situation, TMZ reports. As reported by TheWrap yesterday, Jill Blackstone, whose producing credits include “The Jerry Springer Show,” “Divorce Court” and “Family Court With Judge Penny,” was arrested Monday on suspicion of murder.

Monday marks a big day in first-run syndication this season, with no fewer than five new shows entering the competition for eyeballs.
Talkers "The Bonnie Hunt Show" and "The Doctors," the game show "Deal or No Deal" and the court strips "Judge Karen" and "Family Court With Judge Penny" are among the new shows debuting nationwide. They will be followed by the Sept. 22 launches of the game show "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays" and the court show "Judge Jeanine Pirro" (the latter of which is airing solely on CW stations nationwide) as well as the scripted weekly "Legend of the Seeker" during the weekend of Nov. 1.
While the failure rate in syndication is high, the talent and producers behind all the new series say they offer something unique for viewers. For his part, Howie Mandel, who hosts both the primetime and syndicated version of "Deal," isn't worried about viewers seeing too much of him.
