Can’t Get Enough Of Your Favorite Shows? Read The Blogs!
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, ABC, CBS, NBC, Internet,
It’s the hottest trend in television: blogs produced by the ‘characters’ of shows. These blogs provide supplemental information and insights for the amusement and delight of television viewers.
Whether it’s Medium’s Joe Dubois’s journal detailing his psychic wife’s dreams, case notes from the lawyers of Boston Legal, or delightfully gruesome entries from several forensic dramas, these blogs are guaranteed to at least curb the hunger of salivating fans wanting more details about their favorite shows and characters.
Which blog would we most like to see launch? It’s no contest: the world needs one from the Grey’s Anatomy cast. Oh, the wonder that would be! Perhaps we should lobby for one. Which are your favorite television blogs, and which show would you like to see get one?

Kyle MacLachlan Co-Stars With More Ladies on Desperate Housewives
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Desperate Housewives,
Alrighty then. Kyle MacLachlan, most recently on the failed drama In Justice, will be making his debut on another ABC show very soon. The former Twin Peaks star is probably best known to the Housewives’ female audience as Dr. Trey McDougal on Sex and The City, so starring with another gaggle of women should come as no problem to him. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t have another impotency problem when he tries to woo Susan. As if she didn’t have enough man problems. MacLachlan’s first air date is scheduled for April 16. He is scheduled to appear in several episodes and may even be seen again this fall.
Dynasty Diva Back for 25th Anniversary Reunion Special
Posted by Christopher Stone Categories: Specials, ABC, Talent,
Dynasty’s top divas Linda Evans (Krystle) and Joan Collins (Alexis) are together again for a 25th Anniversary Special, Dynasty Reunion: Catfights and Caviar, set to air on CBS prime time during the May Sweeps period. The legendary prime time soap premiered on ABC 25 years ago, and it’s been 17 years since the final new episode was broadcast.
Producer Michael Levitt says the Special will be anecdotal, and not a dramatic continuation of the Carrington Family saga. Nonetheless, he’s trying to convince Evans and Collins to reenact their infamous swimming pool catfight. Having them recreate the caviar part of the Special’s title shouldn’t take much arm twisting. The show is in production right now at California’s Filoli Mansion. The manse doubled for the Carrington home in the series’ opening credits.
Sharon Stone Knocked Out On Television And At Box Office
Posted by Christopher Stone Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Showtime, Ratings,
The Huff: Season 2 Premiere, guest starring Sharon Stone, Sunday night on Showtime, was less than a lusty success with viewers. According to the AC Nielsen Company, the initial airing of the episode was watched by a scanty 372,000 viewers, losing 36% of Huff‘s lead in show, the Oscar-winning Crash.
It was a difficult weekend for the 48-year-old sex star elsewhere, too. Movie-goers didn’t exactly roll out the Welcome mat, much less the red carpet, for Stone at the nation’s box offices, either. Despite a media blitz of advertising and publicity, the opening weekend of Stone’s Basic Instinct 2, a sequel to her early ‘90s’ mega-hit, grossed a dismal $3.2 million, placing 10th on the list of last weekend’s top-grossing motion pictures.
Katie Couric Leaves Today
Posted by Christopher Stone Categories: Daytime, Prime Time, CBS, NBC, Talent, News, Rumors,
It’s official! Television’s most widespread, high-stakes rumor of the year is now television history. At 7:30 this morning, Pacific Daylight Time, from the Today show desk she shares with co-anchor Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, the longest-serving (15 years) anchor in Today‘s 54-year history, told America, “After listening to my heart and my gut, two things that have served me pretty well in the past, I’ve decided that I’ll be leaving Today at the end of May. It was really a very difficult decision for a lot of different reasons.”
Couric went on to acknowledge and thank the show’s loyal and massive audience, “I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the support you all have given me.”
She explained, “Another reason this decision is difficult is my relationships with the people on this wonderful show….The notion that we’re a family is not just some cheesy promotional device. I really care about everyone here.”
Of her co-host Matt Lauer, Katie proclaimed, “I could not have asked for a more talented partner or a better friend. Just as Dorothy said to the Scarecrow, ‘I think I’m going to miss him most of all.’”
Beyond the departure announcement, the 49-year-old Couric confirmed that she would be working on CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes.

Raunchy Oz Star Clean, Sober On Desperate Housewives
Posted by Christopher Stone Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, Desperate Housewives, Rumors,
Lee Tegersen, for six seasons compelling as Tobias Beecher, convicted of Vehicular Manslaughter on HBO’s unflinching prison drama Oz, has resurfaced on the last two episodes of the Alphabet Network’s Desperate Housewives. What’s more, the good-looking actor, frequently in scenes of full frontal nudity and Brokeback-like prison sex on Oz, is playing a clean, sober, and straight recovering alcoholic on Housewives.
Tegersen’s character, Peter McMillian, was Bree’s Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor in his first episode (March 26). In his second Desperate outing (April 2), Lee as Peter fled the Van De Kamp house after Bree kissed him. It’s not that McMillian is immune to the charms of Wisteria Lane’s hottest redhead. As it happens, Peter is not only a former alcoholic, he’s also a recovering sex-aholic who’s not quite ready for dating.
In his real, not reel, life, Lee Tegersen, 40, is rumored to be dating 60-year-old Cher. I say, “What’s a mere 20-year age difference between lovers if your squeeze is a show business legend?”

Is Katie Couric Today History?
Posted by Christopher Stone Categories: Daytime, CBS, NBC, Talent, News, Rumors,
Television’s biggest story this week centers around the speculation that Katie Couric, co-host with Matt Lauer of NBC’s cash cow, Today, is about to leave television’s Number One morning show to become the first woman installed as the sole, permanent anchor of a major network evening newscast, CBS Evening News.
The rumor that Couric, 49, will leave Today for CBS when her NBC contract expires next month, has been circulating since January. The rumor intensified yesterday when Television Week reported that a CBS deal for Couric had been “completed in principle” and the announcement of her NBC departure could come as early as this week. Similiar stories ran in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News.
Pundits say that Couric’s Today replacement would most likely be Weekend Today co-anchor Campbell Brown, or The View’s Meredith Viera. NBC’s Today currently generates $250 million in yearly profit for the Peacock.

Showtime Renews Weeds For Second Season
Posted by Christopher Stone Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Showtime,
Watching a Weeds rerun on Showtime Friday night, I was reminded that the Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins series is one of the smartest half hours on television. From it’s contagious opening theme song, “Little Boxes,” to its dark, offbeat characters, and skewed situations. Weeds is always worthwhile.
The series is a filmed comedy noir about the dirty secrets just beneath the squeaky-clean tract facade of fictional, suburban Agrestic, California. Parker plays a widow and mom who peddles pot to Agrestic in order to maintain her family’s lifestyle. Earlier this year, she won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series Comedy. Even so, Weeds’ first season played to a small, if devoted, audience.
Three cheers to Showtime for not taking the Weed Whacker to the award-winning, critically popular series. Au contrare, the network has ordered a 12-episode second season. Now in production, Weeds’ devotees can see fresh episodes this summer.
