CBS Announces Schedule- UGH

Ok, so 1 point to CBS for saving possibly the funniest show on television- "How I Met Your Mother."

-20 Points for cancelling "The Class". This show started off weak. Way weak. But it turned into one of the funniest shows I've seen in a LONG time. The whole diet=cheating episode? Hysterical. What a bunch of dumbA$$es at CBS.

-50 Points for cancelling "Jericho". Admittedly not the best acted show on television at times, Jericho really came back strong after its hiatus (which, was another really DUMB idea by CBS). The great thing about "Jericho" was that it was different and imaginative. Rumor has it that TNT is eyeing the show. Sign the petition over at www.onlinepetition.com and help save this show.

Show, CBS ends up in the negative for the fall season. I don't even care what's going to be new- The only thing I'll be watching CBS for is HIMYM.

Fall Previews: NBC and ABC

There are some really awesome sounding shows coming up this fall on NBC and ABC (CBS has yet to announce their fall schedule and if "How I Met Your Mother" isn't on it...heads will roll, my friend).

Most interesing sounding:
"Pushing Daisies" (ABC) As a young boy, Ned discovers he has the power to bring back the dead when his mother dies while making a pie and his touch revives her. She lives until that evening when she kisses him goodnight and dies again. Ned grows up to become a pie maker, and has a side detective business where he uses his gift to revive the dead to find out their murderers and then touches them again to die. Only problem...one of the "dead" is his childhood sweetheart and he can't bring himself to "kill" her again. Eventually she learns his secret and things become very complicated.

"Sam I Am" (ABC) Christina Applegate stars as a woman who suffers amnesia after an accident and finds out what a horrible person she was. She consequently spends her time trying to right her wrongs and become a better person.

Shows I know I won't watch:
Cavemen- Geico commercials, cavemen...UGH Don't they know that's soooo last week?


NBC Cool Sounding shows:

"Journeyman"- Though it sounds suspiciously like "The Time Traveller's Wife"- a book that I absolutely love- it looks like a really good show. It centers around a reporter, Dan, who jumps back and forth through time without knowing when or where he's going, or even sometimes that he's jumped through time. Can he prevent past tragedies? What will that mean for his present? Watch the preview:




"Bionic Woman" Jamie Summers returns!
Watch a few sneak peeks:


This new Jamie seems a bit more B.A., if you know what I'm saying!

"Chuck" a computer geek opens an email from an old friend and somehow downloads the CIA database into his head:



"Life" a cop spends 12 hard years in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and when is finally freed, walks away with a $50 million settlement. Here's a preview:

It remind me a little of "House"- character driven, acerbic main character. Looks like a good show!

TV News: *Spoilers*, Heroes, Lost

For those who haven't seen it- last's night's episode of "Heroes" was rockin'. Don't read any further if you haven't watched (!!), but as of right now, it doesn't look good for DL, who's been shot by Linderman (who, it seems is no longer of this world...but who knows for sure). Niki was able to gain control of herself (though it did seem as well that Jessica "stepped down") and Sylar gained control of Ted's powers in his typical brain eating way. All the heroes are now in NYC- though suspiciously missing is the tech girl- who can hear any forms of electronic communication. And how cool is Hiro's Dad??? And, is Hiro the "hero" from the story he used to read by his father? Is that Hiro's true destiny?

Judging by next week's promo, things look better for DL, but not so good for Matt Parkman, and according to eonline's "Watch With Kristin" the season will end with four character's lives in peril. Kristin did report that Nathan, Claire, Peter and Niki will be back. She also reported that Leonard Roberts, who plays DL, was at the "NBC upfront" which is all about next season. I really hope Matt survives- I love Greg Grunberg both as an actor and person (I mean- who doesn't love a guy who makes Smoothaise!)

And, as a little side note, "Watch With Kristin" also reported that Sawyer does survive to see another season on "Lost." And so does the dog.

Gilmore Girls Cancelled

So long Stars Hollow.

But, the CW has promised to give the show the send-off it deserves.

Lost Gets an END DATE

It's official, according to Kristin@ Eonline.com. ABC released a statement saying that "Lost" has officially 48 episodes left and will air in 3 16 episode seasons (due to some international deal). Apparently, after seeing the season finale (which is a game changer a la "Alias" style**) we will know why there can only be 48 more episodes.

So what's your theory about why? I think it's that all the little online games, clues and stories have all been talking about the end of the world and how the Dharma Initiative was supposed to be working to stop it- this supposedly has something to do with the numbers. So, if there's an "end of days" date- it would limit how many episodes they can do especially if the world were to end in say 48 days or less from the end of the season.

** "Alias" game changing episode= Francie is killed, Sydney disappears and wakes up in Hong Kong where she quickly discovers that two years have passed and she was believed dead.

**On a good note- "Lost" will be moving to an earlier hour! YAY!!!
