DSP's TV Thread (with J.E. Magee) [OT]

Postby dsp » Thu May 03, 2007 17:02:56

Gilmore Girls done. Could not come to agreements with the two stars.

Variety seems to be indicating that The Office could move to 9 on Thursdays, with a new show going after Earl at 830 and probably 30 Rock going back to 930.

Scrubs has no guarantees for at 7th season, it seems NBC is really done with it. Although ABC is likely to pick it up, the hefty price tag for Zach Braff is certainly not helping. If what airs later this month is the last episode, then apparently fans of the show are going to be pissed (its a cliffhanger, 1).

The office thursdays at 9....um....ok, that seems like a bad idea NBC...you've lost Thursday at 9...give it up - try and get something else...hell you've practically lost thrusday at 10 but you keep flogging that dead horse ER...

Gilmore Girls has taken such a step back this year since the CW ran Amy Sherman Palladino off...it tries to hard and it's just bad...i assumed it was the last season anyway, so no big surprise there.

Mars will probably get cancelled as well which will mean i can safely switch to direc TV since missing out on the CW won't amtter any more

Anyone see Earl tonight?

I thought that little shot at Yes Dear was funny, after Joy's video was over a video of the baby walking on water from one of the early episodes of Yes Dear came on.

Even as much as Gilmore Girls has sucked this season, I'm gonna miss it :(
"I tell all kids not to use that word. If they're 29 and they win the World Series, I think they can say that.
But I definitely would say to all the kids out there, 'Kids, it's a bad word. Don't say it. And I'm dead serious.' "

Earl was okay. The Rudy stuff could have been better. All they did was basically word for word re-create the great speech at the end and then put a silly spin on everyone throwing in their jerseys. But barely any screen time between Charles S. Dutton and Sean Astin? Come on, that just isn't right.

The Office was solid. Not as good as last week, but still pretty good. Damnit, I miss 30 Rock.

Scrubs was very funny. Let's hope they get one last season to rap things up, and perhaps let Keri Russell stick around. Hot.

The producer of Earl, Greg Garcia, also produced Yes Dear.
I know this from listening to Kornheiser on the radio, as Garcia was his producer early on.

I saw anthony clarke do standup at the comedy connection in Boston, I went with my then girlfriend, her mother, and her mother's boyfriend. I was 19 and my GF's mother's BF bought pitcher after pitcher of Sam Adams which him and I drank. Anyway, the funniest part of the evening is when my gfs mothers bf sang 80's songs that came on the radio in the cab, while messing with the cabbies radio. the cabby thought it was funny, but I don't think he understood what anyone was saying.
man I drew all these penises for nothing - housh

ER seemed to go on forever tonight. They wrapped up what seemed like a full episode about Abbey and Luca, then they had what seemed like another whole episode about Neela.

A friend of mine who read the John From Cincinnati pilot script has informed that it was really good. Not sure what this means, but I'm sure jemagee and his contacts in the business do. Isn't that right Mr. TV!!!!

I had JJ Abrams personal phone number a week ago, but deleted it so as not to be tempted.

To tell him to step away from star trek actually...my boss gave me his old laptop and while he removed his files, he didn't delete his outlook contacts, also saw info about getting in touch with oprah as well (he used to be her neighbor)...thought better to delete them than keep them
