MONDAY (11/9)
  • Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm):  “Charlie and Alan wake up together…with a woman they don’t recognize.” Strange, but significantly less awkward than two and a half men.
  • CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  “Ray Langston of the Las Vegas crime lab arrives in Miami to investigate after a severed leg found in the Everglades is discovered to belong to a girl who disappeared in Las Vegas a week earlier.” Horatio + Morpheus = sunglasses showdown.
  • Little People, Big World (TLC, 10pm):  “Jake gets his own cell phone for his 12th birthday, and before long he racks up an outrageous bill, making Matt and Amy question whether he s ready for the responsibility.” The Learning Channel is not known for highlighting responsibility—in pre-teens or fathers of eight.

Lauren GrahamRachel Bilson

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:

Parenthood: What was once linked to both Maura Tierney and Helen Hunt, now belongs to Lauren Graham. The Gilmore Girls actress has officially been cast as Sarah Braverman in NBC’s Parenthood. Tierney was originally supposed to play the single mother of two teenagers before she was sidelined with breast cancer. A failed deal then kept Hunt from taking over the part.

‘Lipstick Jungle’ Premiere

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, HBO, NBC, Editorial,

Lipstick Jungle

Remember those perfume ads back in the 1980’s for Parfums decoeur ‘Designer Imposters’? They went something like “if you like Giorgio you’ll love Primo!, if you like Opium you’ll love Ninja” or the more recent enticement, “If you like Juicy Couture you’ll love Yeah Baby.”  It’s human to want a whiff of luxury at a bargain price - too bad the end result usually stinks.

NBC’s reminds me of those ‘Designer Imposters’. The show, starring Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price,  premiered last night.

If you’re confused and could have sworn Lipstick Jungle stars Lucy Liu and two other chicks, you’re only half wrong.  That show is on ABC and is called .

Lipstick Jungle has the right pedigree. It’s based on a novel by Sex and the City author and its parallels to that hit HBO series are unmistakable until you scratch the surface.

Lipstick’s plot centers around three powerful Manhattan women who tread in dangerous waters of sex, lies and betrayal. At least, I think that’s what the plot is supposed to be. What I saw seemed more like a Lifetime movie for women than a glossy Primetime sex drama.

‘The Nine’ Sees It’s Ninth Life

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Renewals,

The NineBack in November, I lamented the loss of a great show, The Nine. ABC put the series on hiatus right when the mysteries started kicking in.  What really happened inside the bank??  I had kept the Season Pass request in my Tivo hoping that someday it would pick up a new episode.  After a few months of waiting, I finally hit delete.

Needless to say, I was ecstatic to hear that ABC would air the remaining episodes starting this week.  Unfortunately the news is a bit bittersweet.  While I’m happy to get new pieces of the puzzle—knowing that six is all I will get is torturous.  I hate being teased…but I’m still a glutton for punishment.

Reset your Tivo for this Wednesday @ 10pm.

Is The Nine Down For The Count?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Ratings,

The NineOkay – I know that putting a show on hiatus is not exactly a NEW thing.  But it’s been a long time since I’ve watched a complete dud, so I’m not used to when it happens to me..especially mid-story line.

So needless to say, I was stunned to hear this morning that ABC’s The Nine was put on immediate hiatus.  I mean, I know that the ratings weren’t as high as hoped, but c’mon…..it was a good show!  To make matters worse – there’s no exact word at this time when the show might be resurrected.

Arrgggh!!!

How will I be able to sleep not knowing if Eva was in on the whole thing?? And how about those poor lovebirds, Jeremy and Lizzie??  What happened in that bank that forced them to break up?  And what exactly happened to Felicia that made her so traumatized???

I don’t like this new position that I’ve been put in and I’m not sure if I will ever get past Stage Denial.  A plea to anyone who’s gone through this before: Please let me know what to expect next…
