Good News, Bad News: CHUCK, OPRAH, TRAUMA & More!
November 20th, 2009
Good News: NBC has announced that CHUCK will return on January 10th with two back-to-back episodes before moving to its regular Monday at 8PM time-slot on January 11th. Bad News: For Morgan Grimes, whose girlfriend Anna Wu (Julia Ling) was conspicuously left off NBC’s announcement press release and appears to be a victim of NBC’s downsizing. [Ausiello]
Good News: After 25 years, THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW will come to an end on September 9, 2011. Bad News: For many Americans, who will soon be left scratching their head as to what books they should be reading and how to throw an intimate dinner party for eight on a budget. [EW]
Good News: NBC is bringing the lowly-rated TRAUMA back from the dead. Bad News: For the Peacock Network, whose desperate attempt to triage the bleeding that is their primetime lineup speaks volumes about their current woes. [TheLiveFeed]
Good News: Steven Spielberg and Stephen King are joining forces to develop a television event based on King’s just-released supernatural thriller Under the Dome. Bad News: For the writer who is hired with adapting the book for the small screen. Seriously, have you tried lifting the 1000 plus page tome?! [Variety]
I like Anna. But it could be interesting to watch Morgan try to get another girlfriend.

Poor Anna! So glad that they are bringing Chuck back early. I did a happy dance yesterday when I read that. Still a crappy timeslot since 8 PM Monday is about as bad as 8 PM Thursday, but I’ll take it. I’m not sure how much more of House I can take anyway.
Networks…Please don’t let Oprah tell you that she is retiring, find a replacement for her and then when the time comes to say goodbye decide that what she really needs is a primetime show on network TV 5 nights a week. Only a crazy person would allow that to happen.
