Oh, where to begin – Deal or no Deal, right after the Olympics (had enough plugs for that show); ‘Til Death, premiering right before Sept.11 anniversary – two evil events side by side; or maybe Ugly Betty – coming back on September 25 – for those saps who like sappy shows covered in sappiest sap. [...]
If you’re not too busy following the Beijing Olympics this month (and you better watch the coverage – our Chinese overlords demand you observe them), here’s a list of what’s premiering this month. Honestly, not the best summer month for starting a show (compared to the ‘still in school’ June, or ‘let’s go out instead’ [...]
The summer is finally here, Lost season finale was fantastic, keep talking about it and speculating on the next season. 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 [...]
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.
Well, the strike is over (we’ll post a link to the accomplishments shortly). Looks like the guild is going to vote in it rather quickly, and they’re going to accept the (now) preliminary terms. The writers are heading back to their desks pretty much immediately after the vote, and we may just salvage the rest [...]
We all expected this TV season to be all screwy because of the writers’ strike. But this is a little too much, even for those who have massive libraries of TV shows to fall back on (yes, it’s time for Frasier/Family Guy/Friends marathons for me, and that’s only the shows starting with ‘F’). Anyway, since [...]
The writers’ strike is beginning to affect the current shows. There are the basics – November is normally a sweeps month, so most of the shows have many episodes in the bank, already written and completed. Because December and January are typically slow – holidays and reruns – a few networks complete at least half [...]
Well, Labor Day is over, and this can only mean one thing – unless FOX is jumping the gun and launching half the season in the end of August (those pesky ratings will make you do strange things), the new TV season is upon us. For those still tuning in to the telly, and not [...]
Another award show nominations are out, and another series of disappointment for us. There’s nothing for Leary and his team from Rescue Me, there’s too little for Scrubs/Office/30 Rock/Earl, and there are way too many noms for HBO shows. Obviously, the last episode of Sopranos was nominated. I could have told you that back in [...]
Year after year, FOX has been ahead of the network pack in announcing their schedules, bringing new ideas to television (American Idol is still a HUGE draw, despite multiple imitations), and just thinking ahead. So it’s no surprise that FOX is the first of the networks announcing the fall schedule. I guess the fact that [...]
