Melrose Place Premieres with a Shriek: Review
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Editorial, Gossip, Video
The CW’s premiere of Melrose Place, the new version, did everything it was supposed to do…even if it did rely upon a few shopworn plot ideas to do it. There was much less shock factor and much more slick appeal than what was to be expected. But at the end of the episode, enough loose ends were left hanging to keep audiences coming back for more.
To sum it up, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s acting was bad, Sydney’s part was pretty small and the blonde girl? Completely unlikable so far - but definitely a diva worth hating.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip, Video
It’s been a long wait from May, but FOX is finally bringing Glee to the schedule for its full first season. The pilot episode, which was initially introduced during one of the final weeks of American Idol, will re-air this Wednesday. In following weeks, new episodes of one of the most anticipated fall shows will continue to bring us Glee.
If you didn’t see the pilot the first time around, or even if you did, it’s definitely worth a watch. This show’s got a huge budget - no expense was spared. FOX is throwing everything at the promotional campaign, too, which bodes well for high-quality production and the best iTunes tie-ins imaginable.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Internet
Twelve years after South Park hit the airwaves, we are getting a rare opportunity to see the episode that started it all.
For a limited time, SouthParkStudios.com will be streaming the original pilot that launched the iconic Comedy Central series. The entirely handmade episode - it’s amazing what you can do with construction paper! - was hand-animated primarily by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
The video, which was the basis for “Cartman Gets An Anal Probe,” will contain an additional four minutes of footage not seen in the series premiere.
Every other episode from the comedy’s 13 seasons can already be viewed via South Park’s website.

Will ABC Family’s Pilot Make It?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sports, ABC, Cable, Gossip, Video
ABC Family used the sweet spot behind Secret Life to premiere its new family drama, Make It or Break It, Monday night. This gymnastics-focused series details the life of young gymnasts attending a special Olympics training facility.
Three females led the first scene: Payson Keeler (Ayla Kell), who never looks too far ahead; Kaylie Cruz (Josie Loren), who can’t wait to pig out after the competition is over, and Lauren Tanner (Cassie Scerbo), who wants to enjoy a jet setter’s life.
Soon, the Coach was talking seriously of their future, saying that only three would go on to the top. New gymnast Emily then made her appearance, shaking up the top three set of girls who were introduced earlier.

Small Screen Adaptations: Witches of Eastwick, Maid in Manhattan
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, News
Just when I thought ABC was making huge strides with programs like Pushing Daisies, the network decides to take a few creative steps back.
In the past week, it’s been announced that two motion pictures may be adapted for the small screen.
On Monday, Variety reported that John Updike’s novel about three witches (and a devilish man) may be getting new life. The Witches of Eastwick - which later became a 1987 film starring Jack Nicholson, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer and Cher - is now being redeveloped into a television pilot.

Joss Whedon Rearranges Dollhouse Schedule
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, News
Although we still have months to go before the premiere of Dollhouse, Joss Whedon followers may already have a reason to be worried. The show’s creator has just announced that he’ll be shooting a whole new pilot for his FOX show.
Dollhouse, the second Whedon creation for that network (he was also the man behind Firefly), stars Buffy vet Eliza Dushku as one of several agents for hire. Their abilities and memories, which are specifically crafted for each client, are immediately erased after an assignment is completed.
After showing Episode #1 to FOX execs - and even friend David Lynch - it was agreed that series could start off on a better note. In fact, some apparently found the segment confusing. To remedy the situation, Whedon is crafting a prequel that will air just before the pilot episode. He believes this will help introduce the characters better.

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, News
Cops and chick lit get the go ahead at ABC, at least in pilot form. The Hollywood Reporter says the network has approved the production of four new pilots, three of them focusing on crime and punishment.
Castle, produced by ABC Studios and Beacon, is reportedly a one-hour drama about a horror writer who consults for the NYPD homicide department.
The Unusuals, from Sony Pictures TV and Apostle, is described as a one-hour dramatic comedy set inside a New York police precinct.
The Hollywood Reporter describes Finnegan as yet another one-hour crime drama about a tough female detective in the Los Angeles Police Department’s organized crime/vice unit.
