NBC Orders 6 New Shows
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip
NBC has ordered a very ambitious lineup for the 2009-2010 fall season. The network is rounding out their programming with four brand-new dramas and two never-before-seen comedies.
Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are producing Parenthood, a series based on the film they did together decades ago. Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia and Erika Christensen are among the cast. The drama/comedy will explore life with kids…if NBC viewers aren’t already getting enough of that as it is.
Trauma, one of NBC’s new medical dramas, focuses on first-response paramedics (and already sounds doomed). The series is set in San Francisco and stars Derek Luke, Cliff Curtis, Aimee Garcia and others.

Kanye West Admits to Being a ‘Gay Fish’ on South Park
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Video
UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s response to the episode here.
Hate being the only one who doesn’t get the joke? So does Kanye West.
On last night’s episode of South Park (which can be seen in its entirety here), the rapper is the only person in the country doesn’t understand the laugher Cartman and Jimmy created. (Q: “Do you like fishsticks?” A: “What are you - a gay fish?”)
Believing the joke is on him, an embarrassed West eventually resorts to murder before finally making peace with the marine life.

Video: SNL Girlfriend Voice skit
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, NBC, Saturday Night Live
I was just able to catch this past week’s episode of SNL (Season 34, episode 20), and for some reason, this skit had me rolling. If you saw it, it’s the one where three guys are trying to plan a bachelor party, but keep getting interrupted by phone calls. It starts with their girlfriends calling, and each of them talking on the phone using their “girlfriend voice”—that’s right guys, you are not alone on that one. If you haven’t seen it, check it out above. Good times.
Amanda Bynes Goes to Work for ABC
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, ABC, Gossip
What I Like About You star Amanda Bynes will soon make her return to TV via ABC. Bynes will play a young, Midwestern girl in the new comedy Canned.
The pilot features a group of friends working in the same corporation, all of whom get fired on the very same day. It’s a plot that could be very familiar to home viewers, and Bynes has no shortage of comedic chops to bring to the series.
Bynes will play workaholic Sarabeth on the show. David Rosenthal will serve as executive producer.

Roseanne’s Return
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip, Rumors
Reports have surfaced that suggest Roseanne (these days, her last name is back to being Barr) will soon be returning to prime time network TV, a dozen years after her hit comedy series came to an end.
The comedienne has partnered with Caryn Mandabach (former producer on the hit series Roseanne), and the project has been pitched to FOX. Like her character in the long-running Roseanne, Barr will star in the new comedy series as a family matriarch.

2009 Golden Globe Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, NBC, News
One year after a strike-induced absence, the drinking resumed. Although the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards drew its usual set of followers tonight, this year’s program carried even more significance than usual. The reason? Heath Ledger.
With or without the Dark Knight nomination, the ceremony would have been interesting. Was this going to be the year a film about an Indian game show (Slumdog Millionaire) won top prize? Would either Meryl Streep (Mamma Mia, Doubt) or Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road, The Reader) walk away with two awards? Could Mickey Rourke‘s comeback performance in The Wrestler earn him a surprise win over Sean Penn (Milk)?
To find out the answer to these questions (and many more), you can read our detailed coverage after the jump!

Jack Black to Get Some Office Work Done
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, Gossip
Singer/actor Jack Black will make an appearance on The Office, enjoying a rather cushy spot on the schedule: he’ll be on right after the Super Bowl. It’s a tough act to follow, but somehow I think Black can pull it off.
The episode, titled “Stress Relief,” will originally air on February 1 and involve a bootlegged movie. How will Black factor in? So far, the network is giving any details.

SNL Alum Not Amused By Sarah Palin
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video
After tons of hype and media attention, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin finally made an appearance (for real) on SNL. I would have rather just watched Tina Fey (who at least makes the wanna-be veep seem charming)…and apparently I’m not alone in that sentiment.
“Quite frankly, it’s a big mistake to let her go on,” said former Saturday Night Live regular and Weekend Update anchor Chevy Chase. “Apparently, she [Sarah Palin] cannot improvise herself out of a paper bag!” Or drooping polls.
