"Look, we got it covered. We’re just trying to find a place to put Mike’s yogurt while we do the job." - Sam, Burn Notice
The more Nathan Fillion, the better, is what I always say. We told you guys briefly about this new pilot he was starring in called Castle, but we didn’t know much about it, nor if it was even going to be picked up by ABC.
Well, we still only have the outline of what the show is about, but we can pass on the news that it has indeed been picked up and will become a series sometime in the future.
Here is your handy-dandy guide to the fall premiere dates on ABC. It’s sadly missing its best show, but that’s because we have to wait for Lost until 2009. That still depresses me no matter how many times I think about it.
Eli Stone is a series I’ve heard is pretty good, so I may need to check it out, but other than that, Pushing Daisies appears to be the only ABC show I’ll be tuning into this fall. Except for possible Grey’s Anatomy to watch Kevin McKidd.
Some big news came out of an ABC panel discussion today. TV Guide is reporting that Scrubs executive producer, Bill Lawrence, announced that Zach Braff will be leaving the show at the end of this season. No reason was given for Braff’s exit although Lawrence joked that Braff’s exit was “not by his choice.”
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Courtney Cox will be joining the cast of Scrubs for a three-episode arc as Sacred Heart’s new Chief of Medicine.
Scrubs producers had been looking to stunt cast the role of Dr. Kelso’s successor and I’d say that they made a pretty good choice. According to insiders Cox’s character will “ruffle [...]
The Ausiello Scoop interviewed Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence last week and got the full details about the break-up with NBC and what is to come on ABC.
Ausiello says he likes Lawrence because he doesn’t mince words. I’d have to agree, based on his harsh trashing of NBC he did during the discussion.
Via MySpace bulletin earlier this week, Zach Braff finally let out the news that we all knew anyways: Scrubs is moving to ABC.
Not only that, but he explained just a bit about the Princess Bride season finale called My Princess and addressed the confusion most people had seeing Dr. Kelso suddenly back in charge.
This past weekend was wrought with network decisions over potential new series, the renewals of current series and the cancellation of others.
Not all of them are worth noting, because there are a ton, but Variety has a good overview of most of them.
I’m going to outline some of the highlights for me. I’ve scoured the web to find news on anything I can find, and will post updates as the networks start making official announcements.
That nasty ol’ WGA Strike can’t keep a good thing down. And Lost is a good thing.
Because of the strike and the success of Lost, ABC has decided to extend the next two seasons to 17 episodes, instead of the 16 originally agreed upon.
That makes up for the two hours we’ll be missing out on this year, even though they did just recently add an hour to the finale on May 29th.
I never see the The Ellen DeGeneres Show except in passing, but I still think she’s one of the funniest comedians I’ve ever heard.
Her talk show is a massive hit and it’s about time it joins the high-definition revolution. EngadgetHD is reporting that September 8th is the day that we’ll be able to see the [...]
Something tells me that by the title of this week’s Lost episode, Cabin Fever, we’re going to get to see Jacob. Just a gut feeling.
Just to get you all psyched and pumped for this week’s episode, below is a minute long sneak peek at Thursday night’s airing.
The Scrubs season finale airs on Thursday night, which could be the last episode ever on NBC, but hopefully not the last one we’ll ever get to see.
There is still the rumors about ABC taking over production of Scrubs next year, so let’s all keep crossing our fingers on that. Zach Braff was asked recently [...]
A new ABC pilot is in the works called Castle, which according to Nikki Finke, will star Nathan Fillion as the lead. The director is Rob Bowman, who was executive producer on Daybreak, and also produced about 90 episodes of the X-Files from 1995-2000.
The good news here is that Fillion will be in a new [...]
Good news concerning Lost always comes with some sort of downside. We found out the show was going to be given an ending, but we’d only get 16 episodes a season. Then after the strike we found out the show was coming back, but only for five more episodes.
Now we get awesome news that there [...]
This crossed my line of vision yesterday and I just had to pass it on. I don’t know who would take the time to put something like this together, but it must have taken an extraordinary amount of work and time to accomplish.
If you are a fan of Lost, you know there are tons of [...]
There is some potentially big news coming from Ausiello at TVGuide, followed up by Kristin at E! Online, and of course, regurgitated by me for you guys here.
We’ve all been told that we’d only get 5 more episodes of Lost to finish the season, which would be three short of the 16 promised when they [...]
