Entertainment Weekly has just posted a great interview with the Brown Bear himself Chris Turk (actor Donald Faison), where he talks about everything SCRUBS. Click here to check it out.
According to Kristin over at Eonline, VERONICA MARS show-runner Rob Thomas and the CW are contemplating eliminating the big over-arching mysteries that have been the tradmark of VERONICA MARS thus far. Having been disappointed with this season’s Hearst Rapist story-line, this TV Addict definitely agrees with this decision. Not only will it open up the show to the more causal viewer, it may give us more time with the supporting characters (Weevil, Mac, Piz and Parker) who we’ve hardly got to spend any time with this season.
3 LBS we hardly knew ya. After a mere three weeks, CBS’s hour long medical drama has gotten the axe. While the network no doubt assumed that combining elements of HOUSE, CSI and GREY’S ANATOMY was enough to replicate a hit, they forgot three significant ingredients — Hugh Laurie, William Peterson and the writing of Sondra Rhimes. Better luck next time CBS.
CBS has posted a sneak preview of their newest HOUSE/GREY’S/CSI mash-up, entitled 3 LBS. Starring Stanley Tucci and Mark Feuerstein, 3 LBS revolves around brain surgeons, and in case you’re wondering, the show’s title refers to the weight of a human brain. Click here to visit CBS’ Innertube.
In more CBS news, the Tiffany Network has posted the remaining episodes of the Ray Liotta vehicle SMITH. Memo to NBC, when are we going to see the remaining episodes of KIDNAPPED online? Click here to visit CBS’ Innertube.
On NBC.com fans of THE OFFICE will be able to view a first-ever, web-exclusive “producer’s cut” of the November 9th episode. The episode will include additional scenes and extra footage not shown in the broadcast version. No doubt Canadian fans (and fans throughout the rest of the world) will be left in the dust, but it won’t stop this TV Addict from logging on and hoping that NBC is kind enough to let us watch the show.
In more NBC news, the network has launched the first ever broadband comedy channel dotcomedy.com. Original Comedic Material will be showcased along with highlights from NBC’s Legendary Late-night Shows and Library. Canadians don’t fret, as a public service, the site’s already been tested by this TV Addict and thankfully it’s available to those of us up here in the great white north (yes, I’m talking about Canada).
The parade of death and depression isn’t over on tonight’s new episode of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. The episode, entitled “Collaborators’ deals with ‘The Circle’ (a group of six officers) who have taken it upon themselves to punish those who collaborated with the Cylons on New Caprica. Jammer (who rescued Kaly from execution in episode three is one of those targeted for ‘trial’, as is Felix Gaeta. I’ll leave it to your own imagination as to who lives and dies, but seeing as though this is BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, punishment is not surprisingly a harsh and brutal reality.
Last night the TV addict had a chance to screen CBS’ upcoming new medical drama 3 LBS. My full review will be coming soon, but in case you’re wondering, 3 LBS is best described as HOUSE plus CHICAGO HOPE divided by CSI and GREY’S ANATOMY. It pretty much takes bits and pieces from every popular crime/medical procedural currently out there in an attempt to create television’s next big hit.
Good news for STUDIO 60 fans, according to the Hollywood Reporter, NBC has ordered three additional scripts of the Sorkin scripted show. Let’s hope this is a sign of things to come, and NBC hangs on to its most captivating new drama.
Could this TV Addict be anymore excited for NBC’s new MUST SEE TV lineup! Thanks to THE OFFICE, SCRUBS & 30 ROCK, Thursday nights have quickly gotten a lot funnier — and more jam packed. Between MUST SEE TV, ABC’s UGLY BETTY, GREY’S ANATOMY as well as THE OC and SMALLVILLE, thank God for the invention of the PVR and timeshifting.
And in case you’re wondering, yes I’m still incredibly bitter that Canadians and MAC users can’t watch the season premiere of THE OC. But if you’re American and a PC users, Great News! You can check out the season premiere early at myspace.com/fox
