"Lost" to return January 31
On Thursday nights at 8 (Central) with eight episodes instead of the sixteen they promised because of the strike. To see ABC’s mid-season schedule, click here (you’ll need a road map to understand it.)
The journey ends for "Journeyman"
NBC has apparently let its option to pick up the back-nine episodes of its Monday night drama Journeyman lapse, effectively canceling the show. Meanwhile, ABC has knocked Big Shots down to size by putting the low-rated drama on indefinite hiatus. The first initials of this drama pretty much describe this show. And it looks like CBS’ Kid Nation might not […]
WLS-TV relaunches website
WLS, and other ABC owned-and-operated stations, including top-rated outlets WABC-TV in New York, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WPVI-TV in Philadelphia and KTRK-TV Houston relaunched their websites over the weekend, with large Flash video players and added more video to make their websites “more like a TV newscast”. Check out WLS’ new website here. (Thought: I like the new site. It’s […]
Take that, Stewie!
Yes, it’s true – Eric Cartman introduced the Colorado Buffaloes during a college football game airing on ABC this weekend (pretty funny stuff.) Next thing you know, Bart Simpson will introduce the Chicago Bears on next week’s Fox telecast against the New York Giants (I would have said Homer, but he would just mess up the names… D’Oh!)
"Heroes" spin-off shelved; "Samantha Who?" picked up for full season
– NBC has shelved plans to launch a spin-off of the TV series Heroes indefinitely. The move comes as a looming writers’ strike plans to wreak havoc with the networks’ schedules. The toast of the 2006-07 season, both Heroes and Ugly Betty are not having great sophomore seasons, with both programs down in the ratings from last year and both […]
An unlikely smash hit
And who thought it would be a new sitcom – yes, sitcom – called Samantha Who? who grew week to week in 18-49s in its’ Monday night time slot. Samantha Who?, the Colorado Rockies of prime time.

For Private Practice, The Big Bang Theory, and The Unit (and thankfully, none for Cavemen.) Fox also picked up more episodes of Kitchen Nightmares.
They are who we thought they were!
Aliens in America is exactly who we thought they were – a ratings loser. Meanwhile, Dancing With the Stars seems to be the only show deservingly labeled a winner (in the ratings dept. only), while it’s yucksville for the rest of prime-time with the exception of the Padres-Rockies tiebreaker game, a true classic. Other observations: – Heroes is down in […]
Carpooling Cavemen
Only two premieres tonight, Cavemen and Carpooling, and they are the pick to definitely skip. These shows suck so bad… If you might have not noticed, these two shows have no laugh track. That’s probably because there are no laughs in either. You can put this crap on the board, no! Plus, Cavemen is set in San Diego. Hasn’t the […]
