American Idol Announces Time Slot
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol,
Popular talent reality show American Idol has finally decided on its air day and time. After announcing late last month that it would keep the blockbuster reality series in its original Tuesday and Thursday slots—ending weeks of speculation about a possible move of the results show to Thursday—Fox said Monday that during the three-week semifinal round, the live results show will air Thursdays. As previously announced, the audition stage of the singing competition will air at 8-9 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning January 17. No doubt, fans are already setting their DVRs and TiVos.
NBC Celebrates Success Of Deal Or No Deal
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC,
Thanks to the excellent ratings its game show Deal Or No Deal is pulling in, NBC is enjoying its highest audience rating in the 8pm time slot to date. The show is hosted by 1980s favorite Howie Mandel, now without the famous plastic glove…or his hair.
NBC notes that both shows compare favorably to the early days of ABC’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” which averaged a little better than 10 million viewers in its first two airings in August 1999. That show, of course, developed into a runaway hit before ABC’s over-reliance on it—it aired four nights a week at its peak—helped send the network into a tailspin from which it took several years to recover.

American Idol Promises Most Intense Season Ever
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol,
Ryan Seacrest reported that viewers are in for more than ever before this season. Apparently, the selected hopefuls are more determined than ever to win, and refuse to let anything stand in their way. Not even fellow competitors. Will backstabbing and scheming light up American Idol’s stage this time around? We’ll find out on January 17, when the new season premieres. This kind of buzz certainly whets the appetite:
This new round of Idol, however, may finally cross over into a reality-TV staple that it has since quite admirably dodged: backstage backstabbing. As host Ryan Seacrest recently told reporters — and Randy Jackson now confirms — that this flock of songbirds is more like a committee of vultures. “Every season, when we go out on the audition tour, we never know what we’re going to get,” Jackson reports. “I think the kids this time probably want this worse than ever, so there’s quite a bit of interesting fighting and dialogue going on amongst them. People’s egos are saying, ‘We’re friends and we’re all in this together, but hey, I want to win this — and I don’t want anybody to stand in my way.’”

Nip/Tuck Reveals Identity Of The Carver To Disgruntled Fans
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Groans were heard all over TV land when the Carver was unmasked on Tuesday’s episode of Nip/Tuck. For the most part, fans appeared disappointed with the all-too-predictable choice of villain. Turns out, just about anyone would have been more interesting. A much bigger shocker was the psychotic behavior of Ariel’s father, who seemed just as vicious as The Carver ever did. Some things most fans seemed to like were the return of Cherry Peck, the reconciliation of Julia and Sean, Christian’s show of loyalty to his partner and best friend, and Matt’s stepping away from the dark side. Although The Carver was revealed, Nip/Tuck couldn’t leave the viewers with looming questions. Alas, we have to wait until next season to find out: Will Kimber change her mind? What is wrong with Julia’s baby? Did Matt and Cherry really commit murder? Disappointments aside, this is one show viewers will be tuning in to next season.

Will the show be a mega-hit in its new country? Only time will tell. Hmm…I wonder how you say ‘oversexed neurotic’ in Mandarin?
