VIDEO: Fillion Confirms Dr. Horrible Sequel in Works

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Comedy, Music, Gossip, Internet, News, Renewals, Rumors, Video

While we’ve been seeing a whirlwind of due success for the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog crew, the more pressing news has been about the sequel. Now Nathan Fillion, who portrays the antagonist Captain Hammer in the series, assures fans that a title and a couple songs have indeed been established.

In the video, Fillion claims that the media has yet to be decided upon. While it would be cool to see Dr. Horrible on the big screen, let’s all be reminded of Serenity, which garnered a mediocre victory at the box office. I fear that if the sequel meets the same fate that a third installment will never see the light of day. I mean, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, eh?

Family Guy Spin-off Gets Second Season

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Renewals, Video

After only a handful of episodes, FOX is pleased enough with The Cleveland Show to order a complete second season. (Only 13 episodes beyond this year had been previously ordered.)

Honestly, I’ve no idea why. The spin-off lacks a lot of the hilarity Family Guy brings to the table weekly, and I just cannot get over that German bear. Ridiculous is one thing. Outlandish is quite another.

Two New Females to Join SNL Cast

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Renewals

UPDATE: Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson have both been let go from the show.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, two of SNL’s strongest female cast members, have moved on to other projects. So who will step into their shoes? Many are anticipating the arrival of two new women on the set, but this is a huge disservice to one who’s been quietly waiting for a chance to step into the spotlight.

Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad could be two bright spots in the upcoming 35th season of Saturday Night Live, both coming from comedy backgrounds. But SNL already has a funny female to light skits on fire; Kristen Wiig has been on the show for a few years now, and always manages to score laughs.

Rescue Me to End in 2011

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, FX, Cancellations, News, Renewals

Some good news and bad news for followers of Rescue Me. The FX series about New York City firefighters has just been granted a 7th season. Unfortunately, that will also be the program’s last.

The timing of the show’s end has been carefully thought out. The final hours will air in 2011—the year we celebrate commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

“Within the next couple of weeks, we’re going to begin shooting the last 19 episodes, which will be the final two seasons of the show,” co-creator and executive producer Peter Tolan said.

Rescue Me‘s current season will wrap on up on September 1.
