Upcoming Heroes Death Not So Shocking
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, NBC, Heroes, Announcements, Gossip, Internet, News, Rumors, Spoilers
While reporter Kristin Dos Santos has been the source of many a good TV spoilers, she posted a breaking story on E!‘s site regarding Heroes that wasn’t quite so… shocking.
On top of divulging the “spoiler” flat-out in the title, Santos confirms the fact that Adrian Pasdar has been offed on the NBC action-drama. Wait a second—hasn’t he already been dead as of last season? I doubt that anyone was counting on a hero to bring him back from the afterlife…

Prison Break’s Last Days on TV
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Prison Break, Cancellations
To be perfectly honest, I never suspected Prison Break would last beyond the first season. Like, who wants to watch some guys endlessly fail to break out of a jail? I always wondered where the show could possibly go, but FOX managed to surprise even me. Prison Break won awards, generated tons of buzz and enjoyed a four season run. But now, it’s all over.
“Prison Break had a hell of a run, but the run has ended,” stated Kevin Reilly, FOX president, at a recent press event. “This will be the last year of the show.”
The official excuse is that the show has naturally “played out,” but the ratings for the drama have been decidedly down this year. So…how much longer will fans have to enjoy the show? “We’ve got our remaining batch of four episodes, and there are a couple more they’re contemplating,” said Reilly. Could these “couple more” episodes be the series finale or a movie-type ending?
Reilly says that a “really cool ending” is planned, and that “it’s a hell of an idea.”

Making Reality, TV Guide Style
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, Features
It was absolutely by accident that I began watching episodes of Making News: Savannah Style on TV Guide, but I was instantly drawn in by the dynamic personalities and behind-the-scenes action. I actually don’t watch any news program…but I’m not above watching a reality show about one.
Savannah’s WJCL news team has the lowest ratings in their market. The station has been plagued by staffing troubles (the general manager of the station was arrested for embezzlement, among other troubles) and the owners are trying to sell, leaving little money for upgrades and equipment. To that end, the cameras and sound work only some of the time, leaving the news team scrambling to meet deadlines and create TV-worthy coverage.

Idols Hit the Road
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
American Idol gives its contestants a grueling schedule during the weeks of shooting live performances, Ford video commercials and sessions with mentors. The show may be over - the hard work is not.
Even while the Idols sing a path across the U.S. (they’ll visit 49 cities in 72 days), some of the finalists will be pulling double duty and making records at the same time. Davids Cook and Archuleta, the season’s final two men standing, will both be working on tracks even as they woo audiences.
Thanks to a new deal with 19 Recordings and Arista Nashville, Kristy Lee Cook (who managed to astound judges and audiences with her unimagined longevity in the contest) will also be working on her debut album. The first single “15 Minutes of Shame,” is scheduled for an August 11 release. Cook was formerly signed to this same label years before, but never had the chance to record a single song.

Tom Brokaw Becomes Russert’s Interim Replacement
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: NBC, News
While NBC has yet to name a permanent successor to Tim Russert, the network has now devised a consistent schedule for its Meet the Press position. Instead of relying on several people to fill the Sunday time slot, only one man will now lead the program through at least the November election: Tom Brokaw.
Brokaw, the former anchor of Nightly News, was the person tapped to helm the show the weekend after Russert’s death. (Brian Williams hosted Press yesterday.) This will be veteran journalist’s first regular position on NBC since stepping down from his daily job in 2004.
In a statement Sunday, the 68-year-old said he hoped to carry on where Russert left off. “Tim made ‘Meet the Press’ the center of the universe for informative and lively discussions of public affairs, particularly the exciting 2008 campaign for president, and I intend to continue that commitment to our viewers.”

Spaced Remake Snubs Creators
Posted by Shannon Bennett Categories: Comedy, Editorial
For fans of the original series - some of us still finding it hard to accept that there will never be a third season - the announcement that an American remake of Spaced was on the way probably didn’t raise cheers of joy.
In fact, it’s always been assumed that Granada (as it will be called) would be Americanized and Hollywoodized beyond recognition from the original genius upon which it’s based, which makes this latest piece of news all the more infuriating.
Wonderland and Warner Brothers, more specifically McG, have apparently cut Simon Pegg, Jessica (Stevenson) Hynes, and show’s director Edgar Wright out of any participation with the show, crossing lines from avoidance to clear expression that their creative input is undesired. A foolish gesture considering Pegg and Wright’s phenomenal American success with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, and morally just all sorts of wrong.

Tucker Carlson Out at MSNBC
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Talk Shows, Cable, NBC, Cancellations, News
The seemingly lone conservative at MSNBC is out of the anchor chair, at least for now. The Associated Press reports that Tucker Carlson’s “Tucker” show on that cable news network has been cancelled. He’ll reportedly be replaced by NBC firebrand David Gregory. Gregory’s show, Race for the White House, begins one week from tonight at 6 p.m.
MSNBC says this and other changes the network is making are in response to the growing demand for more political news. (Gosh, it seems like that is all they do now besides all those prison reality shows and constant repeats of To Catch a Predator.) Other changes announced are that NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell will now permanently anchor one hour a day on MSNBC Monday through Friday and that Countdown With Keith Olbermann will rerun every night at 10 p.m.

Mother of Five Learns Dangers of American Idol Addiction
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial, Gossip, News
It’s hard to pay attention to anything else when Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell are picking at each other on American Idol, or when one of the Idol contestants is badly belting out a tune. But for the sake of your children…maybe you should at least get DVR? You’re never gonna believe this one, folks.
Twenty-five year old Sheila Brooks, mother of five, was watching the popular show while her three-year-old daughter almost drowned to death in the family bathtub. That really puts the elimination of Alaina Whitaker into perspective, right? Brooks has not been charged with any offense, though the child was taken to the hospital and placed under critical condition.

Jane Fonda Drops the C-Word on Morning TV
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Talk Shows, NBC, News, Video
Actress Jane Fonda woke up the Today show audience this morning when she let a colorful word slip. The best part? She didn’t even blink. She just kept on going…
Unfortunately, host Meredith Viera was forced to clean up the mess later and issued an apology. (You can see that clip after the jump.)

How Super Was ‘Super Tuesday’?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Specials, Cable, News
News networks scattered to bring the most up-to-date and intensive coverage. Promotional departments cranked out somewhat frightening ads making the day look like Armageddon. And they all geared up with a vengeance for this event the media has dubbed Super Tuesday. Now that the dust of news competition has settled, it’s possible to get a look at the results of this apparently cataclysmic event.
The truth is, very few lives were changed by the election results. Far more were effected by the massive tornadoes which ripped through Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi and Kentucky (where I personally live). Super Tuesday coverage began to fall by the wayside around two in the morning (EST) as the CNN news desk showed weather maps and gruesome footage of horrible damage.
