The 2009-10 awards season kicked into high gear this morning with the official announcement of the Golden Globe nominations.
Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of TV nominees:
- Freshman drama Glee leads all TV nominations with a total of four - including mentions for Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch. Damages, Dexter, 30 Rock and Big Love all got three noms.
- Although cable television dominated the Best Drama category, the major networks had a tight hold of the Best Comedy category.
- Newbies recognized this year include Courteney Cox (Cougar Town), Thomas Jane (Hung), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) and Modern Family.
- Despite big buzz around Emmy time, Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons did not get any love this time around. Meanwhile, Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) was snubbed as well.
- HBO, once again, leads all channels with 17 nominations. FOX and Showtime both had six each.
The 67th Golden Globe Awards with host Ricky Gervais airs Jan. 17 on NBC.

First Look: Lisa Kudrow with Courteney Cox on Cougar Town
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, Spoilers,
Despite what it looks like, that isn’t Phoebe Buffay with a lab coat on. That is, though, Lisa Kudrow with her pal Courteney Cox on an episode of Cougar Town.
Next month, Friends’ former masseuse will guest as a specialist Jules Cobb loves and hates. “She plays a dermatologist who is a horrible, horrible person, but [Cox] goes to her because she’s the best. The [sight] of them playing people who dislike each other intensely was very funny for me to watch,” exec. producer Bill Lawrence explained.
Set your DVRs for the Lisa and Courteney reunion on January 6.

Production Temporarily Halted on Cougar Town
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, News,
UPDATE: Production will resume on November 30.
Filming on one of ABC’s most promising new shows has been indefinitely halted for reasons other than ratings.
Cougar Town, which would have shut down this week anyway for the holidays, stopped taping late last week due to a personal issue connected to star Courteney Cox. “We can confirm production on Cougar Town has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter,” ABC said in a statement.
At this time, three previously shot episodes can carry the network through January 6. It’s not known when the cast and crew will return to the set.

Lisa Kudrow Joins Courteney Cox on Cougar Town
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, Video,
Jennifer Aniston has already returned to TV to kiss Courteney Cox, so now it’s Lisa Kudrow’s turn to get her hands dirty. The former Friends star will soon reunite with her former cast member on an episode of Cougar Town.
Although the two haven’t worked together on-screen since parting ways in 2004, the ladies have appeared together off-screen. Just last month, Kudrow and Cox attended a charity function for Feeding America. During that event, Lisa was encouraged to do a special performance of “Smelly Cat.” (You can see the video above.)
Lisa, who played a masseuse on the NBC comedy, will once again work with skin during her ABC guest stint. She’ll now star as a mean - but highly-effective - dermatologist Jules “can’t stop going to.”
Look for Kudrow sometime in early 2010.

Preview ABC’s Version of Scrubs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Scrubs, Video,
The time has finally come. After seven years on NBC, Scrubs will soon make ABC its new home.
So what changes, if any, should we expect from the relocated the series? Judging from the promo above, not much. I mean - if you don’t count that that new sexy Chief of Medicine. (Courteney Cox Arquette will appear on the program’s first three episodes.)
What do you think of the new teaser? Did it do enough to make you switch networks come January 6th?

Courteney Cox Scrubs In at Sacred Heart
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Scrubs, News,
What could possibly irritate Dr. Cox more than Dr. Kelso? Having a female Cox as his boss.
When Scrubs returns for its eighth season, viewers will have to get used to more than just a channel change. They’ll also be seeing a new person sitting in the Chief of Medicine’s chair this fall.
In a three-episode stint, Courteney Cox Arquette will assume Kelso’s role and roam the halls of Sacred
Heart. Thanks to FX’s cancellation of her series, the actress now has a new place to combine the bitchy persona she tried on Dirt with the comedic talent she honed on Friends.
According to an EW source, Arquette’s character will “ruffle feathers.” So shall we thank ABC now for giving us the opportunity to witness Perry’s pain?

Will There Be a Friends Movie?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip, News, Rumors,
Sex and the City broke box office records. Get Smart had a first place finish. Why shouldn’t there be a Friends movie?
According to UK’s Daily Mail, a big-screen adaptation of the NBC hit has finally been greenlighted. Although a reunion seemed extremely unlikely when the comedy ended in 2004, the success of SATC has apparently given the show’s main six hope.
And while Jennifer Aniston could definitely do without the paycheck, she is reportedly willing to play along. “Jennifer, Courteney and the rest of the cast are keen to reprise their roles, under the right circumstances,” said a source.
If the story is true, production on the Warner Bros. feature may begin within the next 18 months. Could I be more excited?

FX Cancels Courteney Cox’s Dirt
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FX, Cancellations,
Although she tried hard to set aside her nice girl persona, fans apparently had a tough time accepting Courteney Cox Arquette as a badass. Either that, or they simply didn’t like her show.
After only 2 years on air (1.5 if you take the writers’ strike into account), Arquette’s Dirt has been yanked from the FX network. Interestingly enough, this is about the same length of time Matt LeBlanc’s Joey managed to stay on air. The drama also hung around longer than Matthew Perry’s Studio 60 and Lisa Kudrow’s The Comeback.
Despite earning 3.7 million viewers for its January 2007 debut, the program eventually experienced a dramatic decline. By April, Dirt‘s second season finale was down to 1.06 million. I guess that kiss with gal pal Aniston didn’t have much lasting power.
