MONDAY (10/11)
- 90210 (CW, 8 p.m.): “Debbie applies for a job as an assistant to a very pregnant Jen.” She’ll do whatever it takes to
stay on the showprovide for her family. - House (FOX, 8 p.m.): “A patient who can’t stop vomiting is also hiding secrets.” A few more trips to the toilet, and he’ll be ready to cough them up.
- Castle (ABC, 10 p.m.): “Castle posits time travel as a possible element in the murder of a mathematician shot by a 200-year-old bullet.” Having seen Timecop, I fully support this theory.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Joins Good Morning America
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talk Shows, ABC, Gossip, Video,
Survivor: The Australian Outback contestant and View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is signing on to Good Morning America as a contributor. Hasselbeck is famous for her rigid right-wing approach to issues on The View, though she does not label herself as conservative.
Hasselbeck will cover “hot-button family, lifestyle and child-rearing issues.” Her first report, which looks like a real barn-burner, will cover the hot-button trend of parent-child tattoos. It airs on Monday.
In addition to her reality TV experience, Hasselbeck has a Fine Arts degree from Boston College and notorious GOP leanings … which definitely makes her qualified to cover news-related issues important to American families.

FOX’s decision to quickly replace Lone Star with veteran Lie to Me was validated in the ratings last night. Unfortunately, the move really didn’t make a difference in the overall rankings. ABC was still the winner in both the viewers and demos thanks to reality hit Dancing with the Stars.

ABC Cancels My Generation
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cancellations,
It only took two episodes to bring down FOX’s Lone Star. It took that same number to silence ABC’s My Generation as well.
After a double dose of disappointing numbers, the network made a choice to stop the bleeding. The show, which debuted to 5.2 million (1.6/5 in 18-49) in Week 1, fell even further in Week 2 (3.9 million, 1.1/3).
Although Generation has been pulled immediately from the schedule, there are chances the four remaining episodes could air sometime in the future and/or online.
It’s not known yet what will fill the void at 8:00 on Thursdays.
