Box Office News http://backend.userland.com/rss http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/images/logo.gif http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/ http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=245.html Based on this list, the summer is just beginning. The Euro Cup was a good, entertaining ending to June, and Fall network premieres are still too far away. Here's what's coming back to TeeVees this month - bet you'll notice a few favourites on the list. Psych, Burn Notice, Stargate, Generation Kill, The Closer, Mad Men, Gong Show, Monk. Take your pick - July is going to be a lot of fun. Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:59:26 GMT http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=244.html We knew it was coming, and his last few appearances on TV have been pretty telling. The guy's been on stage, entertaining us, our parents, our grandparents for decades. That heart can only take so much, you know. How appropriate - heart failure. My guess is George just got tired. And can you blame him - fighting idiocy, and observing the morons who surround him every day. There are no others like you, George. I'm sorry you got tired of all of us. We should have tried harder to be decent beings.

Some pleasant surprises, some welcome returns, and some satisfying absences. Enjoy.

Here's a list of shows starting this month. The cable networks have been busy since the strike, and have a few things to share with you. Unfortunately, Rescue Me is not coming back this summer - got delayed by a few months - but a whole bunch of TV goodness is coming your way. Wed, 04 Jun 2008 03:32:41 GMT http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=241.html Sydney Pollack has died or cancer. What a terrible loss - the director of Tootsie, The Way We Were, The Firm, Out of Africa, and so many other films - the kind of movies you never watch just once - he's no longer with us. He was also a gifted actor, appearing in many memorable scenes from the last couple of decades - Changing Lanes, Michael Clayton, Eyes Wide Shut, The Player, Husbands and Wives. Tue, 27 May 2008 04:09:42 GMT http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=240.html The people who get astronomical moola to talk in funny voices are at it again. An ongoing contract dispute between the voice talent behind The Simpsons and 20th Century Fox TV has caused production delays on the show's upcoming 20th season and will most likely force the studio to produce fewer episodes this season. Wed, 21 May 2008 20:06:10 GMT http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=239.html The verdict is in! Lewis Black's time as judge has been extended. The ultimate decider on all things evil is just settling into his role as ruler as COMEDY CENTRAL orders a second season of the weekly series, "Lewis Black's Root of All Evil," it was announced today by Lauren Corrao, president original programming and development. The second season will premiere on Wednesday, July 30 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. Wed, 21 May 2008 20:00:32 GMT http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=238.html The fifth season of "Boston Legal" will be its last. The legal drama, which has won five Emmys (including three for star James Spader) in its time on ABC, will bow out with a 13-episode run in the fall, ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson told reporters Tuesday (May 13). Wed, 21 May 2008 19:57:45 GMT http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=237.html Things are still getting back to normal after the writers' strike. In any normal TV season, February would be the month of sweeps, and then we'd all take a couple of weeks off for reruns. By mid-March we'll be watching new episodes again, waiting for the May sweeps. Unfortunately, because of the strike, this schedule is useless. We had over a month of reruns, and many shows didn't come back briefly for February at all. Well, now it seems they're finally coming back. Check out this schedule, and line up your TIVO, or VCR, or whatever you use to keep track of your favourite shows. They're here to stay ... for a few weeks anyway. Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:29:31 GMT http://www.forgetboxoffice.com/News/article/sid=236.html This is a strange time for top-ten lists - usually people do them around the holidays. But here's yet another list for your pleazhurre. Britain’s Empire magazine has chosen the 50 best TV shows ever made. Many good, respectable shows listed here, and a few gems completely shunned. We'll post links to similar lists shortly. What do you think are the best TV shows? Sat, 29 Mar 2008 10:08:45 GMT
