FX network is bringing back one of its best shows of 2004. Dennis Leary has been trying to get a regular TV gig for quite some time. This time, I think he’s here to stay. A brutally honest, in-your-face drama about NYC firefighters in a post-9/11 world, where being a public hero is a weight [...]
CBS might be the big winner this past season, but I can’t believe they didn’t renew Jason Alexander’s “Listen Up”. With “Everybody Loves Raymond” gone, its best sitcom is “Two and a Half Men”, and that’s not saying much. Surprisingly “Yes, Dear” got renewed … again, so it’s obvious to everyone the network is not [...]
Fox network has announced its Fall schedule (sorry for posting it here so late – you must have noticed an updated site and faster performance). The day-to-day lineup is pretty much the same, and the network’s tricks are also unchanged: 24, American Idol and Trading Spouses are coming back in the new year (midseason). Which [...]
The network that was once known for pulling its weaker shows too early, before they develop legs and audience, is finally sticking with most of its current lineup. Not only that, ABC is also bringing in plenty of new shows – which is a sign of confidence. Or, perhaps it’s just stubbornness. First of all, [...]
The smaller, but not necessarily less important WB network has announced its fall schedules, and there are no surprises. The big hits stay, maybe on a different night, and new guys are brought in to keep the network somewhat competitive. WB has proved year after year that all you need is one good show, possibly [...]
Right off the bat, I gotta tell you – I like the show. I’ve tuned in from the very first episode (you know, the one without the commercial interruptions, proving that the network does not need to resort to breaks, if the advertising is embedded). But lately, I’m concerned with just how long this pace [...]
The once-unstoppable network has announced its partial fall lineup today, a little ahead of FOX, ABC and CBS, and the despair is showing. It’s not very obvious, especially if you don’t look where some of the shows are being moved, why other shows are being canned, and what new shows are about. Not very obvious [...]
Do you know when your favourite show has a finale this season? Here’s our handy guide, (almost) complete with a few shows that end their run this year. Many others (search the site for more info) are still on the bubble. Mark your calendars and don’t miss these finales.
Hey, it’s that time of the year again. Some shows are canned, many are officially renewed, and some – are bound to exist in between for a few weeks or months, while the ratings/costs/revenues are being mulled by the corporate big wigs. Is your favourite show going to come back in the fall? Take a [...]
Right off the bat let me tell you that Hugh Laurie is a main attraction for this show. However, as medical dramas go, he’s definitely not the only doctor worth watching. The supporting cast is outstanding, the stories are engaging, and the show moves along quite nicely, without relying on expensive CGI effects or last [...]
