bob_barron 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 It was the series finale, but they made a deal to bring it back. The CW's really really desperate. There's no On the Bubble show I'm really hoping gets renewed. NBC picking up a show that's a ripoff of Medium is really funny and pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 The CW networks only had 3 shows I cared about (Girls, Tree Hill and Mars). So I'm guessing that 2/3 are gone yet 7th Heaven sticks around. Great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NYankees Report post Posted May 15, 2006 This coming up week, the networks will release their 2006 fall lineups. the Brad Garrett sitcom Til Death, about a longtime married couple whose next door neighbors are newlywed Sounds like the opening premise of Married with Children. The Bundys were a long married couple and their new neighbors The Rhodes were just recently married. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 but where's war at home and american dad American Dad is safe despite its ratings tailing off over the new episodes recently. War at Home isn't as safe, but its pretty certain they'll move it off Sunday Night and its one of their only decent performing comedies returning. Umm.. My Name is Earl moving to 8pm pm on Thursday. I guess they dont think Surivor has much steam left and its better to throw it against Survivor some of the time than CSI most of the time. ER is getting the Prison Break treatment (air a bunch of new episodes in the fall and then it gets pre-empted and comes back in the spring)..ouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 From my Cynopsis email this morning... Not so fast for the series ended police -- not quite officially yet, but 7th Heaven reportedly will return for an 11th season, having been resurrected at the last hour as part of the September CW schedule. At this writing there is nothing to report on whether all or part of the large cast will return. Stephen Collins tells Cynopsis: "I've been hearing all the reports about 7th Heaven but I haven't heard anything official from any producer or executive about the show being picked up. I also don't have a deal at this point." As for Stephen's immediate plans, he'll be heading off to Capetown, South Africa, for a movie from Ed Zwick called Blood Diamond, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Connolly. First up for the upfront presentations this week is NBC, scheduled for this afternoon at Radio City Music Hall. There is scuttlebutt the Tina Fey project has now been picked up (as of late last week it's fate was still unknown), and on Friday the Andy Richter project got the official go-ahead. While NBC is staying predictably mum over its soon-to-be announced fall schedule, much of the conversation at the water cooler surrounds Thursday nights. There has been word ER may move, tho nothing confirmed or denied there. Also there is speculation My Name is Earl and The Office will remain on Thursdays from 8-9p, while the Tina Fey comedy starring Alec Baldwin may move in at 9p or 930p. Tho if that scenario holds true, the Studio 60 on Sunset Strip with Matthew Perry among others, is left out of Thursdays, and may then find a home on earlier in the week at 10p. And don't forget about Sundays on NBC - come this fall NBC has football on Sunday nights which means it needs to find at least temporary new homes for Crossing Jordan and L&O: Criminal Intent. And while you're trying to figure all that out before 3p this afternoon when NBC presents, also consider the other new dramas coming to the network including Raines with Jeff Goldblum, Friday Night Lights (seems a shoe-in for Friday nights), 20 Good Years with John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor, Heroes and the comedy series, The Black Donnellys, Kidnapped and comedy project The Singles Table. Not expected to be a concern for scheduling next season on NBC are Dick Wolf's Conviction, Joey, Surface, E-Rings, or Teachers. ABC has ordered up a handful of pilots in preparation for its upfront presentation announcements scheduled for tomorrow, and has already announced the nixing of another. Coming on board for the new season are: * Ugly Betty from Touchstone TV * Traveler from Warner Bros. TV * Brothers & Sisters with Calista Flockhart from Touchstone * Men In Trees with Anne Heche from Warner Bros. TV * A Day in the Life from Sony Pictures TV * Let's Rob Mick Jagger with Donal Logue for Touchstone and Worldwide Pants Also returning for a second season, What About Brian? Not returning -- Invasion, Freddie. Still questionable: George Lopez and According to Jim Fox has given a 6 ep order to The Winner for midseason from Seth McFarlane. Also returning next season are War at Home, The Loop and The O.C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Let's Rob Mick Jagger with Donal Logue for Touchstone and Worldwide Pants Did a google search, found this: Mick is set to make a cameo appearance in an ABC sitcom pilot episode slated for this Fall in the US. Mick shot his scenes for the New York-based pilot in a hotel room in Auckland, New Zealand, last week. The tentative title for the sitcom is "Let's Rob Mick Jagger." It's the brainchild of Rob Burnett, long-time David Letterman executive producer, and his partner, Jon Beckerman, who had previously created the NBC comedy-drama "Ed." The concept apparently centers on a janitor for a prominent New York building, to be played by the character actor Donal Logue. Down on his luck, the janitor sees a celebrity on television wallowing in his wealth during a tour of his new Manhattan penthouse. Enlisting a crew of similarly ordinary but frustrated accomplices, the janitor conceives a plot to rob Mick's apartment, a story line that would unfold over a 24-episode television season. I give it..3 episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Was FNL being on Friday too logical for NBC? Am I reading it right, is ER only on for 1/2 a season now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Was FNL being on Friday too logical for NBC? Am I reading it right, is ER only on for 1/2 a season now? Like I said, ER is getting the Prison Break treatment. Its going to run a lot of episodes in the fall and up until January when the Black Donnellys gets its limited run, and then ER is back in the spring to finish out its 13th season. John Stamos is supposedly joining ER too. And Friday Night Lights on Friday night wouldn't make sense because the show is about high school football, and at least for the fall..the show would be on at the same time as high school football games..
