ABC Moving Forward with Charlie’s Angels Reboot
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, ABC, Video,
What was rumored about over a year ago is now coming to fruition (as if there was any doubt).
A Miami-set version of Charlie's Angels has now reached pilot stage for ABC. The reboot of the classic series will be handled by two of the producers from the movie installments (Drew Barrymore, Nancy Juvonen) and Leonard Goldberg.
Smallville creators/executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar will also share producing duties.
No actresses have yet been tapped for the update, but Gossip Girl's Mark Piznarski is being considered as a possible director.

Onion SportsDome: Comedy Central’s Promising Premiere
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Video,
Tuesday was a big night for Comedy Central.
The evening marked the return of popular series Tosh.0, which became a solid lead-in for the channel’s side-splitting new series Onion SportsDome. And if you missed the premiere, it’s time to go on a TiVo hunting mission right now … because this is probably the best show of the season.
Brought to you by The Onion, the SportsDome is part parody, part satire and hysterical through-and-through. With segments like “Who Would You Kill,” Onion SportsDome shows us what all sports shows should look like. Hosts Alex Reiser and Mark Sheppard (played by Matt Walton and Matt Oberg) offer gut-busting deadpan delivery to lead the series.
The show’s total irreverence for all things sports makes it engaging and absolutely unique. We’re already hungry for more, but unfortunately the Dome won’t be back with a new episode until next week.

Snooki recently appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to read one of the host’s Top 10 lists.
The topic on deck? Her new book, of course.
At least with the power of Letterman’s writers behind her, the Snooks is actually funny. Check out the video to hear the list.

Drew Carey will reunite with Whose Line Is It Anyway? costars Colin Mochrie, Brad Sherwood, Greg Proops and Ryan Stiles for Drew Carey’s Improv-A-Ganza, which will air on the Game Show Network. Comedienne Kathy Kinney has also joined the cast.
The show, which will feature audience participation as well as improvisational comedy, premieres on GSN on March 28. The show will be taped live at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas this month.
Heather Anne Campbell, Jeff Davis, Chip Esten and Sean Masterson will help round out the cast.
We’re not sure how the game show aspect figures in to this comedy stage show -- but, we don’t care. Carey and crew shine at improv, and this is one Ganza we don’t plan to miss.

Kennedy Miniseries—Featuring Katie Holmes—Already Canceled
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Mini Series, Cable, Cancellations, Video,
It appears the actual Kennedys are the ones to thank played a role in the cancellation of The Kennedys – a miniseries once destined for the History Channel.
The eight-hour event, featuring Greg Kinnear as President John F. Kennedy, was to have focused on focus on the personal relationships within the famous family. And though Katie Holmes “worked as hard” as she could to portray former First Lady Jackie Kennedy, the project was scrapped from the channel’s schedule.

Sarah Palin Quits Alaska Show?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Cancellations, Rumors, Video,
Don’t act surprised. Rumor has it that the woman who resigned as Alaska’s governor has decided to walk away from her TLC reality show.
It seems that Sarah Palin’s Alaska -- which was based on enjoying everything the state has to offer -- has reached the end of its one-season run. TLC just might have to give Kate Gosselin another show.
TLC has offered no official comment, but producer Mark Burnett has not returned to Wasilla, Alaska to begin work on Season 2. The show nabbed 3.2 million viewers with its premiere, big numbers for cable, and sources say that Palin enjoyed making the show.
So why would she quit while she’s ahead? Most are speculating that the former politician wants to be ready for the upcoming election season, and she just can’t commit to reality TV and being the next president all at the same time.
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

When it comes to CBS reality shows, contestants either get smacked by a watermelon -- or get watermelon-sized welts.
What will we see when Live to Dance officially launches tonight? Well, like the audition rounds of So You Think You Can Dance, a few embarrassing -- and painful -- moments.
On tonight's evening's episode -- the show it will begin its regular Wednesday time slot starting tomorrow -- a dancer gets noticed by the judges for all the wrong reasons. Watch the video and try not to wince.
