I’m a bit worried about Katee Sackhoff, because I think everyone’s favorite Starbuck doesn’t quite know how to pick shows to be on. I mean, yeah, “Battlestar Galactica” was a great call. “Bionic Woman,” while she was great on it, wasn’t such a great call. And she was going to be on the upcoming season of “Nip/Tuck,” which would’ve been a great call several seasons ago.* Now? Not so much.

Her latest decision was to sign on to Dick Wolf’s latest pilot, “Lost and Found.” I’ve mentioned this show before, and because it’s Dick Wolf (he of the “Law and Order” empire), you know it’s a procedural. This one is about an “offbeat” detective at the LAPD who ruffles too many feathers so she gets sent into the bowels of the police station to work on John Doe cases.

I don’t know what her first case will be about, but if this pilot makes it air, I suspect her last case will be to find all the missing viewers.

*(She was going to have a four-episode sting on “Nip/Tuck” but, apparently, has dropped out in light of taking this “Lost and Found” gig. That role has now gone to Rose McGowan.)
