Latest 'Jesse Stone' TV movie is first after Parker's death

Tom Selleck's sixth turn for CBS as lawman Jesse Stone was bittersweet: The movie aired less than five months after the death of Robert Parker, the novelist who created Stone.

"Jesse Stone: No Remorse" aired last night and is dedicated to Parker. The author wasn't involved with production but saw the movie before his heart attack in January, Selleck said. He gave it his blessing.

The former "Magnum, P.I." star could find himself back on a series if CBS picks up "Reagan's Law," about a New York Irish-American family in law enforcement. Selleck, as the patriarch and city's police chief, said he's optimistic the drama will air on CBS.
