Mark Your Calendars: Lost, Chuck Return Soon
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, NBC, Lost, News
Christmas may end on December 26th, but we still have things to look forward to in early 2010.
Shortly after New Year’s, Chuck will make its return to NBC. The show - which was recently saved by a strong fan base - will kick off with a two-hour premiere on Sunday, January 10. It will then slide into its normal Monday/8:00 time slot the very next day (January 11). This assignment means Heroes will then be pushed into the 9:00 position.
Less than a month later, Lost will debut its final season. The ABC drama will have a three-hour event on Tuesday, February 2nd before settling into its Tuesday/9:00 time slot on February 9.

Scrubs Returns to ABC in December
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Scrubs, News
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there’s a difference between “midseason” and “in the middle of the holiday season.”
Although ABC surprised many followers when they renewed Scrubs for a ninth season, the network did something not so surprising to the show: They buried it.
Instead of waiting until after the holiday craziness died down, ABC chose to bring back the comedy during the height of the shopping season. Now the program - which will shift focus from the hospital to the classroom - will have a one-hour debut on December 1.

Programming Changes for The Weather Channel
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Cable, News, Video
MTV started showing everything but music videos. TLC began giving us household drama (what can we learn from that…avoid family life?). Discovery began airing its own original game show. Now, The Weather Channel is going to start showing movies.
Anything can happen on cable, people.
Of course, the network plans to stick to its main theme by showing flicks which largely feature - what else? - weather phenomenon. Beginning this Friday, TWC will have a movie night. First on deck is the George Clooney flick A Perfect Storm.
March of the Penguins, Deep Blue Sea and Misery (well, you can only stay on theme up to a certain point) are also on the network’s programming roster.

Lost Facing Direct Competition from American Idol
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, FOX, American Idol, Lost
It’s time to get ready for another DVR conflict.
Even though most of us have already settled into our Wednesday night routines, the FOX bigwigs have chosen to drive us batty. In just a few weeks, American Idol‘s results show will move from its previous 8:00 position.
Starting March 11, the reality program will be shifted to 9:00. That means freshman series Lie to Me will have to fend for itself in the earlier hour. It also means the ratings juggernaut will now go head-to-head with Lost. Uggh.

FOX’s New Shows: A Lucky Seven?
FOX will offer up no less than seven new shows for the next television season - and that’s just for a start. The network could choose up to ten new programs to round out the schedule.
Right now, seven shows have been given the go-ahead to put forth a pilot for the network. This includes four comedies and three dramas. Entertainment president Kevin Reilly stated that he plans to order five new comedies and five (or more) dramas for the upcoming season.
Find out what FOX has in store for you after the jump.

Lost Premiere Date Included in ABC Midseason Schedule
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Scrubs, News
ABC’s upcoming midseason schedule will probably look like a giant gift to some…a lump of coal to others.
The good news? The Oceanic 6 will make their return and the Sacred Heart crew (a.k.a. Scrubs) will have their network debut. The bad news? Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money will both be given (temporary? permanent?) vacations.

MONDAY (9/15)
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 8pm): “John’s schoolwork suffers, but his social circle widens when he makes a new friend.” Uhh, what exactly does he need to learn? He already knows that he’s in charge of saving the world.
- Prison Break (FOX, 9pm): “Michael and Linc happen upon T-Bag by chance.” Seriously, by chance? That’s like saying I just stopped watching this show…by chance.
- I Want to Work for Diddy (VH1, 9pm): “The teams must each throw a party that meets the high standards of a Diddy event, attending to such details as theme, decor, signature cocktails and guest list.” How would they know how to throw a Diddy event if they’ve never been invited to a Diddy event?
- Luke’s Parental Advisory (VH1, 10:30pm): “Luke tells Lacresha and Luther Jr. that they have a 2-year-old half brother. Later, he tries to bond with the child during a weekend visit.” What would we do without television cameras to record special family moments like these?

Let the Arguments Begin: Debate Schedule Released
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, CBS, PBS, Features
Both sides have met, looked over their schedules, and finally come to a conclusion. That’s right, America’s two greatest political parties have at long last worked together to reach a decision: after weeks and weeks, they’ve finally agreed to a schedule for the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates.
The interrogation begins in September. The 26th of the month, to be precise, the first Presidential debate will take place in Oxford, Mississippi at the University of Mississippi. You can view the arguments on PBS, as the event will be moderated by Jim Lehrer (The NewsHour). The time is scheduled for talk on foreign policy and national security, i.e. the war in Iraq.
October 2 will see the Vice Presidential debates, which I fully expect will score record ratings this year. This takes place in St. Louis, Missouri at Washington University and can also be viewed on PBS. The moderator is Gwen Ifill, also of The NewsHour.

Women’s Murder Club Forces Change for Men in Trees
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, ABC, News, Renewals
Just last month, I commented about the poor treatment Scrubs was receiving by its bosses at NBC. Now I’m starting to feel just sorry as for ABC’s Men in Trees—and I don’t even watch the show!
Earlier today, the Alphabet network finally got around to picking a return date for freshman show Women’s Murder Club. What does this have to do with Trees? Well, Club‘s three episode stint starting Tuesday, April 29th will not only force Boston Legal to find a new home elsewhere (Wednesdays @ 10pm starting April 30th), it will push Men in Trees off the calendar until….May 28th. That means the Anne Heche program will essentially be left to find an audience during the small summer season.
Now if a network really wanted to hate a show, wouldn’t it be nicer if they just came right out and said it? Seriously—how is anyone supposed to watch the series if they don’t know when it’s going to be on? That’s Marketing 101, people!
