Television is increasingly utilizing other technologies to involve viewers in their favorite shows, and mobile phones are one of the hottest items to do that.
In association with Toyota, FOX will air Prison Break: Proof of Innocence on Sprint mobile phones. The viewer will be subjected to a Toyota commercial, then be able to enjoy a 10-minute mini episode. The new show will have completely new characters and storylines. If you don’t use Sprint as your cell phone carrier, you’ll be able to view the episodes on Toyota’s website.
Really, what will they think of next? TV is already seeping into iPods, the Internet, and cell phones…obviously, the medium is preparing for a world takeover. That’s okay with us!

Can’t Get Enough Of ‘Lost?’ Play The Game!
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Games, Prime Time, ABC, Lost, Internet, News,
ABC has high ambitions: they claim that an online game version of Lost will be “the largest interactive game ever based on a TV show.” Considering the popularity of the mystery-laden drama, this seems entirely possible.
The game is entitled The Lost Experience and will feature a bonus storyline not seen on the show. Intriguing! Viewers will become detectives, collecting clues such as important telephone numbers along the way. As the show airs around the world, each geographical location will receive different clues. Producers promise that anyone can play, even those viewers completely new to the show.
The first clue will air May 3rd, so pay special attention to the episode. Even though we lose patience with the sloooow build-up of Lost at times, there’s no denying this game sounds like a blast. Will you be playing?

Show’s Creators Abandon ‘Gilmore Girls’
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, WB, The CW, Editorial, News,
While it’s a good bet that the popular family drama Gilmore Girls will continue into a seventh season on the new CW network, it’s an absolute certainty it will be doing so without its creators and long-time writers and producers, Daniel Palladino and Amy Sherman-Palladino.
Sources fear that fans will rebel, but perhaps there isn’t as much to worry about as they may think. Fans have not been pleased with the husband/wife creative team for quite a while, when it comes to their favorite blue-eyed mother and daughter. Could this sudden departure explain some things?
Is this why the show has been so…well, lousy as of late? Fans have continually protested the ridiculous storylines and character choices found on the show for the past two seasons, including such eye-rollers as Luke’s ‘long lost daughter’ and the ever-doomed ‘L&L’ love story.
Perhaps the Palladinos lost interest long ago, and have been trying to amuse themselves by manipulating the characters into some sort of grotesque facsimile of the vibrant personalities we used to know and love. Was it boredom that led this show from ‘quirky’ and ‘eccentric’ to ‘outlandish’ and ‘poorly written soap opera’ status? Will bringing in fresh blood give the show back its luster? Will this allow Gilmore Girls to go out with a bang, rather than the whimper it’s been heading for? It may seem like dark days now with this news, but there may be a glimmer of a silver lining there after all.

Lifetime Channel Brings You A Magical May
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, News,
Lifetime, Lifetime, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Women in peril, cold-hearted villains, stalkers and hauntings and crime…not to mention addictions, kinky fetishes, and hospital mix-ups resulting in getting the wrong baby. Does television get any better than this?
Lifetime has made my—and many fans’—day with its announcement that the women-targeted channel will air a brand-new movie every day in May.
The line-up boasts popular stars including Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo, the ever popular Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Charmed hottie Rose McGowan. Upcoming titles including such gems as Cradle of Lies and Murder On Pleasant Drive. May can’t get here soon enough!
Scorn the channel all you want, but Lifetime offers many valuable skills, such as: how to fake your own death, the best way to murder a cheating spouse and get away with it, and how to seek revenge on anyone who has ever wronged you. And without Lifetime, how would Tracey Gold and Tori Spelling ever get steady employment? (Because trust us, So NoTORIus is not going to last long.)

Great news for fans of the long-running spy gal show - you can now purchase Alias episodes at the iTunes music store. Each episode (all episodes from seasons 4 and 5 are available) costs $1.99. Producers and the ABC network are hoping this decision will boost awareness—and excitement—regarding the long-awaited return of Alias tonight. This episode is a two-hour special event beginning at 8pm. Alias will then remain in this time slot in its usual hour-long format for the rest of the season.
Though crushed that this is the final season of the series, fans will no doubt rejoice at its return. Perhaps there will even be a spin-off…it is television, after all.

Love ‘Love Monkey?’ It’s Back!
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Comedy, Drama, Cable, CBS, Cancellations, News,
Fans decried the sudden cancellation of the CBS ‘dramedy’ Love Monkey, starring the delightfully talented (and may we say, extremely adorable) Tom Cavanagh. Cavnagh’s character, a record producer in his thirties, faced the perils of the business, life in the city, and the quest for true love, head-on.
With its unique blend of touching emotion and outlandish views of societal quirks, Love Monkey quickly became a favorite of television addicts everywhere. CBS pulled the show after only three episodes. The network claimed they made the decision due to low ratings, but three episodes? The show never even got the chance to succeed!
But take heart: VH1 is picking up the series, and will air the complete first season beginning Tuesday, April 18th.
Whether you already love it or missed it the first time, here’s your chance to enjoy a great show. Let’s just say…you’d have to be bananas to miss out on Love Monkey!

Fans still mourn the loss of the beloved supernatural drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With its appealing stars and standout writing, it’s no wonder the show developed such a rabid fan base. Buffy fans can rejoice: one of the show’s primary writers is returning to television.
Writer Marti Noxon has been serving as a producer—most recently as a producer of Prison Break—since she left Buffy and its spin-off, Angel. Now, she’s returning to her roots with the new show Brothers and Sisters. Noxon will be producing the show, as well as pitching in on the scripts. The show will star Calista Flockhart and Rachel Griffiths, and is described as a family soap opera full of drama. If anyone knows how to write and produce good drama, it’s Noxon.
Unfortunately for fans, Noxon has confirmed that her vampire writing days are over. But on the bright side, it will be a treat to see what she cooks up next. Will you be tuning in?
