Google’s Taking Over TV, Too
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: HBO, Internet, News,
It’s official: Google is in charge of the modern world. The Internet giant recently signed a deal which brings together HBO, Netflix, Pandora and the NBA under a new banner: Google TV.
It’s all part of Google’s multimillion-channel TV system, which will launch in the fall. The system runs on Google’s Android OS, making it possible for Web viewers to watch content on their television sets. And next fall, Google’s going to present Google Mind, which allows users to plug their brains directly into their computer systems. (We’re just kidding about that last bit … or, are we?)
NBC Universal, Time Warner and Twitter will also be involved, offering apps which will allow users to access content from their TVs. HBO alone plans to offer 600-plus hours of programming (which just about covers the first two seasons of The Sopranos), and the NBA has created an app which will keep viewers updated on games and scores in real time. Google is hinting that even more news will unfold in the next few weeks.

Preview Kate Winslet and Evan Rachel Wood in Mildred Pierce
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Mini Series, Cable, HBO, Video,
Could this be the event that brings viewers back to HBO?
Early next year, Oscar winner Kate Winslet will be featured in Mildred Pierce, a five-part miniseries based on the James Cain novel. (Joan Crawford won an Academy Award for her role in a 1945 adaptation.) The Depression-era set tale centers on Pierce (Winslet), a mother who fights to maintain a middle-class position for her family, and the troubled relationship with her daughter (True Blood‘s Evan Rachel Wood).
Mildred—directed by Far From Heaven‘s Todd Haynes—will debut in the spring.

TV Talk: High Interest in Law & Order: LA, Low Numbers for HBO
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Sports, Cable, CBS, FOX, HBO, NBC, DVR, Ratings,
-Which new shows are you looking forward to checking out? According to a TiVo poll, Law & Order: Los Angeles and Hawaii Five-0 are the most-anticipated programs of the upcoming season.
-When is an Oscar nominee not considered “famous enough”? When her name is Carey Mulligan. The Wall Street 2 star says she would love to be in Glee, but she’s apparently not recognizable enough for a cameo.
-Has HBO lost some of its appeal? Despite shows like True Blood, Entourage and Hung, the cable channel’s second quarter audience numbers were the lowest in four years. New series Boardwalk Empire begins this Sunday.
-Sunday Night Football, though, is doing just fine for NBC. This weekend’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins scored the best overnight ratings for any opener—on a Sunday or Monday—in 13 years.
