Did someone get a hold of James Franco’s idea bin?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, CBS, Ratings,
The score may have been close for most of Super Bowl XLIV, but the game’s ratings were the best thing on TV…by far.
Last night’s battle between the Indianapolis Colts at the New Orleans Saints had 106.48 million Bud Light-swilling, Doritos-chomping sports fans glued to their TV sets. That number represents the largest viewing audience for any event in U.S. television history.
The previous record was established by the series finale of M*A*S*H. That 1983 event totaled a whopping 105.97 viewers.

Survivor’s newest installment (premiering in February) will feature many familiar faces from seasons past.
The Heroes vs. Villains cast will contain Rob Mariano, who made headlines after he proposed to girlfriend Amber Brkich on the season finale of Survivor: All-Stars. The couple went on to compete in The Amazing Race before they were featured in a ten-episode stint in their own series on Fox Reality.

Network TV Goes Green: Old Shows Recycled
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, NBC, Gossip, News,
This doesn’t bode well for upcoming TV seasons. NBC, ABC and CBS are all following the same environmental trend: they’re recycling. However, these network TV additions won’t reduce emissions or help us in an energy crisis - if anything, it’s just going to bring down the value of network TV.
All three networks will be re-hashing the 1970s by bringing back The Rockford Files (NBC), Charlie’s Angels (ABC) and Hawaii Five-O (CBS). They’re following a current trend in Hollywood, where everything old is new again. Even Betty White is experiencing a somewhat renewed popularity.
This opens the door for all sorts of other 1970s shows. Someone, somewhere, is getting ready to re-pitch Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo and Feather and the Father Gang.

VIDEO: David Letterman Cracks Tiger Woods Jokes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, CBS, Video,
“If this thing had happened three months ago, I’d have material for a year.”
Last night, David Letterman got his first chance to address a subject other funnymen have been tackling for some time now: the Tiger Woods scandal. Because the Late Show had been in repeats for the past week, Letterman had additional time to craft his first round of jokes—time that was probably needed.
“I wish he would stop caling me for advice,” David said referencing his own public scandal. “I have never seen such a media firestorm… There’s nothing this big since my gay kiss with Adam Lambert,” he added.
The late night host related to the golfer’s situation so strongly, he even accepted some responsibility for it. You can watch his “Top Ten Ways Tiger Woods Can Improve His Image” after the jump.
