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.

Arr, Matey: Spike TV Docudrama Details Pirate Pursuits
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Reality, Cable, Gossip
Spike TV is all set to present Pirate Hunters: USN, which comes just on the wake of national news involving Somali pirates. The series showcases the U.S. Navy’s pursuit of pirates and piracy in the Gulf of Aden.
Though the series is in the same locale where piracy made recent headlines, the deal has already been in the works for months. The Navy has allowed cameras aboard the USS San Antonio and the USS Boxer, the latter of which was part of the recent rescue effort.
A Pirate Hunters pilot is in the works, but there’s no word on when it will air.

90210: Dustin Milligan Quietly Goes Away
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip
The 90210 cast gathered Saturday night for an event at Paley Fest - minus one Dustin Milligan.
Milligan’s good-looking jock character Ethan has been dismissed from the series in favor of bad boy Liam, played by Matt Lanter. Dustin Milligan is now gone from the set, having finished his last scenes with the show, but he’s not forgotten by his remaining former cast mates.
“I’m going to miss him terribly,” Shenae Grimes told reporters. “He is an amazing guy and an amazing actor.”

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Cable, Ratings, Renewals
Lifetime announced yesterday that the hit show Army Wives will return for a fourth season in 2010. Eighteen episodes of the popular drama have been ordered, though the third season of the series has yet to premiere. Season three of the series will begin airing this June (it runs Sundays at 10pm EST).
Army Wives, which focuses on the life of four women whose husbands are actively serving in the military, is the most successful series for the network. The show first debuted on Lifetime in 2007, and during its run has featured guest appearances by Rumer Willis, Ana Ortiz and several others.
“This early pick-up - even prior to the season 3 premiere - is a true testament to our commitment and support of this great show,” Executive Vice President of Lifetime Networks, JoAnn Alfano, said in a statement. “We are confident that the best episodes are yet to come.”

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!

90210: First Bombshells Dropped
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip
90210 returned to TV last night after a long mid-season break. For days, the promos titillated us, promising more drama, more twists and more shock. Did last night’s episode deliver?
After finding out that Shannen Doherty’s Brenda Walsh can’t have kids (and might adopt - yowzah!), former druggie Adrianna Duncan (played by Jessica Lowndes) is preggers, half-brother Sean (Josh Henderson) was really a con man and that the cute cheerleader Christina Worthy (Lauren London) is a bisexual, it’s hard to imagine there could be more.
But rest assured, 90210 fans…there will be more.

Although the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was forced to cancel last year’s party, the Golden Globes will finally make its return next month. The 66th annual event is scheduled to air Sunday, January 11th, just over a week before the Academy Award nominations are announced.
Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of TV nominees:
- HBO, with its 22 nominations, once again led the pack.
- In Treatment and Recount, both from HBO, had five nominations each - the highest number for any program this year.
- House is the only non-cable program to be up for Best Drama.
- True Blood is the only new series to receive any nods.
- Kiefer Sutherland and 24 received nominations for the show’s 2-hour special.

90210 to Explore Teen Pregnancy?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers
UPDATE: If you’d like to find out the name of the potentially pregnant character, click here.
Rumor has it that story lines are going to get even more complex on 90210, The CW’s Beverly Hills spin-off.
According to gossip, an already-troubled character will have a new problem added to the mix: an unexpected baby. Insiders say the show will aim to deal with issues that both teens and adults can relate to, somewhat in the way the original used to tackle its subjects. One source even says the new episodes are “getting better.”
Since they promise to contain scenes with original BH cast members like Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth, I have no doubt this part of the rumor is the truth. As to the other stuff…we’ll just have to wait and see.

90210 review: Old Zip, New Drama
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Editorial, Ratings
That’s right, the wait is finally over. After keeping their new spin-off tightly under wraps, the CW premiered 90210 last night for two solid hours. The network refused to send out media copies, sparking rumors that the show is so terrible it was necessary to keep everything a secret.
Or was it just so fabulous that the CW wanted to surprise us all? Slick, polished production, beautiful sets and great costumes immediately impressed, but I was careful to hold my opinion until I learned a little something about the script.
Oh, who am I kidding? I was hooked right away, the very first second, and frothing at the mouth to see Shannen Doherty’s entrance. I waited for that little moment, like everyone else, for exactly one hour and twenty-right minutes.
