Super Hyped ‘Drive’ Cancelled
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, FOX, House, Cancellations, Ratings,
I don’t know what it was about the promos for Fox’s new show Drive, but whenever they were on, I tuned out. As a result, I had no idea what the show was even about. I tried to focus my attention on an ad for it once, but still didn’t understand what was going on. I guess I’m not the only one who tuned out. Drive has been cancelled after only three airings. And I still don’t know what it was about. Some kind of car race starring Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Drive only managed to muster up 5.6 million viewers overall. House repeats will fill the Monday void left by Drive. If you had tuned in for this show, and want more, two remaining episodes may air at some point or be put online.

The 2007 Golden Globe Awards

Ladies and Gents – I can’t tell you how excited I am about the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight!! It’s been a whole five months since I’ve done minute-by-minute coverage of an awards show and I’ve been dying to unload. (And yes—I am ignoring the fact that the People’s Choice Awards even exist).
The Academy Awards may get the largest viewing audience, but the Golden Globes telecast is the only one I really love to watch. A cross between the insignificant People’s Choice and the stuffy Oscars, this show mixes credibility with spontaneous fun. Yes—the Miss Golden Globe tradition is beyond lame. And yes—separating Dramas from Musicals/Comedies is something I will never understand. But knowing that I may see a star slam down a drink after bitterly losing is exciting defined.
As for who I think should win? Well, Jennifer Hudson is an absolute given. (Though Rinko Kikuchi from Babel would be a nice surprise). And it would be great to see Forest Whitaker beat out both Leo nominations. But no matter what happens, I’m ready for the ride. So bring it on!

Dave Matthews Makes TV Debut on House
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Prime Time, FOX, House,
Dave Matthews, of the Dave Matthews Band, will appear on an upcoming episode of House. His character, Patrick, will be a piano prodigy that has a severe neurological condition as a result of a childhood accident. Of course, House (Hugh Laurie) loves a good medical mystery, so the virtuoso pianist will be the good doctor’s latest case. This is Matthews first turn on television, but not his first acting gig. Matthews appeared in Because of Winn-Dixie and will be seen in the upcoming films Lake City and The Other Side.
Patrick’s father will be played by Kurtwood Smith, who played Red on That ‘70s Show. Smith is a retired doctor who must make a decision about the best treatment for his son. The episode will air in March.

The Week Ahead in TV
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, FX, FOX, House, My Name Is Earl, Nip/Tuck, Survivor, Talent,
Here’s a look at the highlights for the upcoming week. In addition to more Fox premieres, we have several new personalities to prepare for:
TUESDAY
CBS Evening News: The long awaited debut of Katie (or Katherine?) Couric. Will she be able to turn the perkiness off at night?
The View (ABC syndication): The premiere of of Rosie O’Donnell. My Tivo is ready…let the catfights begin!
House (8pm on Fox): Will House’s limp return? And will Hugh Laurie’s British accent come back with it?
Standoff (9pm on Fox): Romance between hostage negotiators? Now that we already know the plot, do we have to watch?
Nip/Tuck (10pm on FX): The Carver is gone but Kimber’s vanity was still attacked. I’m guessing she still won’t be fat anytime soon.
THURSDAY
‘til Death (8pm on Fox): Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher play an old married couple who have to contend with annoying newlyweds…and My Name is Earl, and Survivor and Ugly Betty...
Happy Hour (8:30pm on Fox): It’s has something to do with a newly single dude, his new roommate and the neighbors he meets. Kind of sounds like Joey and in a similar time slot. We can guess what will happen from here.
FRIDAY
Nanny 911 (8pm on Fox): Do parents home on a Friday night really want to be reminded about why they aren’t going out?

The 2006 Emmy Awards

As some of you might remember, TV Envy brought you live remarks during the 2006 Oscars. I had so much fun last time - I thought I would do it again for the 58th Annual Emmy Awards. Unfortunately, since I live on the West Coast, live blogging is not possible. I could cheat and write this while reading the online reports—but I won’t. I will keep my eyes focused on the TV screen before me and make catty remarks as I think of them in Pacific Standard Time.
Although I’m still a bit bitter that neither Lost or Desperate Housewives were nominated this year (apparently due to the recent changes in the nomination process), my annual viewing must go on. If someone can manage to eke out a win for either Entourage, The Office or Scrubs, I may be able to forgive and forget.
Okay—let the time-delayed festivities begin!

Yesterday the second season of House started their reruns helping viewers stay connected to the show and draw in the crowd that misses the show during the season. The back-to-back episodes that will be on every Tuesday night really give House-lovers something to get excited over this summer. With the suspenseful ending to the second season it’s no wonder why the Fox network wants to keep viewers up to date. The real question is, what will happen to Dr. House next season? Will the team get to save him just like they saved Dr. Foreman earlier on? There is a lot up in the air right now. Another interesting situation is going to be if Dr. Cuddy asks House to father a child with her. She almost asked another doctor at the hospital, but since she and House have gradually gotten closer maybe he’s her next pick.
Personally, I don’t see House as the fatherly type, and he would need to be more then just a sperm donor because he and Dr. Cuddy work together. Talk about an awkward situation! It kind of makes you wonder what his answer would be if she actually did decide to ask him.

House, M.D. Renewed For A Third Season
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, FOX, House, News,
Good news for Hugh Laurie fans: the fan and critical favorite House M.D. has been renewed for a third season on FOX. Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant but seriously conflicted physician with a knack for both diagnoses and alienation. Surrounded by a talented cast including Robert Sean Leonard and Omar Epps, the show also boasts some of the best writing and acting on television. Always a ratings powerhouse, House M.D. broke all records last month when it scored its highest ratings ever. Newcomers can catch the repeats on the USA network. (Check your listings for local times and dates.)
We’re thrilled at this news - it’s always nice to see quality recognized.

Hugh Laurie Makes A Special House Call Tonight
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: FOX, House, News,
Television series often, inexplicably, switch nights or showcase ‘special’ episodes on evenings other than when they are scheduled to air. Normally, this wouldn’t merit a mention. But normally, it’s not one of the best shows on TV doing it.
House M.D. will air tonight at 8pm, rather than in its usual time slot of Tuesday at 9pm. The show features some of the best writing and acting on television, successfully walking the tightrope each week between humor and heartbreak. Tonight’s episode features a teen supermodel whose heroin addiction may or may not be her biggest health problem. The case parallels House’s own downward spiral into drug addiction, brilliantly explored last week when the good doc’s actions suggested he was moving beyond pain medication into something far more sinister. Such a special show deserves a special mention. Be sure to tune in.
