Fall 2010 Preview
by Ronald A. Rowe on August 16th, 2010TV News
What are you going to be watching this fall? After saying farewell to Lost after last season, I’m in need of a new anchor show. Sunday nights are for football (so sad that after all these years, Monday Night Football is no longer the marquee game of the week) and my Thursday night dance card is full of NBC comedies, but the rest of the week is up for grabs.
There is yet another law show coming to your TV this Fall. What is the fascination with lawyers, anyway? The Defenders will be the latest in...
The Office without Michael Scott
by Ronald A. Rowe on July 28th, 2010Sitcom, TV News
For those long-term planners out there, it’s time to start fretting about the loss of Steve Carell from The Office. Sure, he’ll be around for one more season, but is it ever too early to start pining for the return of Michael Scott to the hallowed halls of Dunder Mifflin?
A few seasons ago, at the height of the Office’s run as the funniest show on TV, I would have been less worried about it. Jim Halpert was kind of the co-main character at the time. His cool slacker-ness was a counterbalance to Michael’s over-the-top stupidity.
Lately, though,...
The Networks: What To Look Forward To
by Jaclyn Abergas on July 5th, 2010Comedy, Drama, Sitcom, TV News
What do we have to look forward to this fall in the different TV networks?
ABC
Look forward to a lot of dramas from ABC this fall. No Ordinary Family, a superhero show, starring Michael Chiklis goes against FOX's Glee on Tuesdays. Crime dramedy Detroit 1-8-7 goes head-to-head-to-head with CSI: Miami (CBS) and Parenthood (NBC). The Whole Truth with Rob Morrow battles with CSI: NY (CBS) on Wednesdays. Flashforward has been cancelled and will be replaced with docu-style dramedy My Generation.
The Friday night schedule killed Ugly Betty. Let's hope it won't be the same for Dana Delaney and Body Proof on...
Fall 2010 Pilots
by Jaclyn Abergas on March 1st, 2010Comedy, Drama, Sitcom, TV News
ABC already has signed ten new pilots to premiere in the Fall 2010 TV season. Which ones look promising? And which ones look doubtful?
Mr. Sunshine
Starring Matthew Perry, it's the story of a second-rate sports arena manager who thinks only of himself and is forced to reevaluate his life on his 40th birthday. This is his first TV series since Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip (The End Of Steve was never picked up). It'll be fun to watch him on the small screen again. He was always my favorite in Friends, and I've always tried to keep up with his...
2010 Winter Olympics
by Michele on February 12th, 2010TV News
The Winter Olympics begin today in Vancouver. NBC begins broadcasting at 7:30 pm EDT and will air the opening ceremonies. If you are planning on watching tonight's events, here is some information worth noting:
1. The opening ceremonies begin at 6:00 pm PT. So, if you live on the east coast and want to watch the whole ceremony, you should plan on being awake past 10 pm. Of course, it is Friday, so most likely you can sleep in on Saturday, if you're not a late night person.
2. During the opening ceremonies, "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" will...
