KT Update-It is July and we're already talking fall tv!!

Well I started writing a KT update a few weeks back with a whole tirade about how I’m breaking up with Britney. But, now I have too much scoopage to go into all that, so suffice it to say that I could handle britney’s time with K-Fed, her drunken mess of a self after, even the head shaving and multiple trips to rehab, all that time I still had hope of a comeback. But after seeing all this business about giving her mom Lynne, (who could possibly be the best show business mom ever) documents prohibiting her from seeing her grandchildren (and to add insult to injury, Britney tipped off the paparazzi to capture the event) I am so done with her. She is trash, trash, trash and I hope all of her future stuff bombs (that’s not to say I won’t partake & enjoy in pre-trash musical fun)…moving on.


Lots & Lots of tv news:

Let’s start off with casting scoop.
I’m very happy to report that Jason Dohring (Logan from VM) has been cast in Moonlight. Now, if you will recall from a previous KT update, this is the synopsis for Moonlight:
“ Dude, you’ve got to BE KIDDING ME!!! I just read the synopsis for this show and I am flabbergasted. Check it out and let me know if it sounds vaguely familiar. A vampire for 60 years, Mick St. James works as a private investigator, dealing with the difficulties of immortality, a slew of undead adversaries and his love for a mortal woman. !!!!!!!! So, pretty much this show is Angel, without David Boreanz, SMG, and Joss Whedon. So, why should I watch it?”

Well, I’m at least going to check it out because Jason Dohring is going to be a vampire and second David Greenwalt is the exec producer. His past credits include producing kidnapped, Buffy, Angel & the X-Files. But this is what he had to say at the Television Critics Association Tour last week:
“Moonlight is not Angel, his last show about a Los Angeles-based vampire detective. There are no other demons, no other monsters," he says. "It's a sleek modern world. The whole look and feel of the show is different." He adds that it nonetheless has all of his favorite things: "Deep heart, big love and funny."

So we’ll see. I’m willing to give it a chance, if only just to see my Jason Dohring on the tube again.

Everyone’s favorite PR nightmare Isaiah Washington has signed on to join The Bionic Woman. I think he is an exceptional actor who just needs to keep his mouth shut, it will be interesting to see how he gets along with the cast.

Nathan Fillion, who I adore but can’t seem to catch a break, will be on Desperate Housewives this year play the husband of Dana Delaney.

Danny Glover will join Brothers & Sisters as a love interest for Nora.

Fall TV Tidbits

I had every intention of getting Friday Night Lights on dvd this summer & catching up before the fall season starts, but now I’m feeling like the show’s outlook is not so good and the season hasn’t started yet. The NBC big wig that most supported the show and since his departure his tag team replacement has shelved FNL re-runs (which is how you get people interested in a show if they missed it last fall) and added The Apprentice back to the schedule. Ummm, who hires these people! I wish there was a reality show where contestants battled it out to be the President of a network for a year. I would kill on that show and my network would rock!! Rock I tell you!!! Anyhoo, I’m holding off on renting those FNL dvds until I see how long it lasts this year.

I just want to reiterate that even though 3 of the 4 shows with the most buzz this year are coming from the CW, my ban on the network will continue. I will not support the network that took my Everwood & Veronica Mars and kept One Tree Hill. So I’m not even going to tell you which shows are buzzing! Only that Pushing Daisies, which will be on ABC is the other one.

I’m compiling the premiere dates for the fall schedule, just waiting on ABC to announce theirs.

Emmy nominations came out the other day and truth be told, I didn’t even know till the Mozz emailed me. Really, I’m so over the emmy’s. Tony Shaloub again? Snore. I will say though, that I was happily surprised to see Neil Patrick Harris & Kevin Dillion get recognized for best supporting actor. And the scrubs musical episode was nominated for best direction and best song. Other than that…..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz. Next week I’ll send out my annual outstanding performances list which recognizes the people and the storylines that rocked this year.

Switching gears for a moment, Michael & I saw Waitress last week and I highly recommend it. Kerri Russell was awesome and I was happy to see that Nathan Fillion was in the cast. Hooray! This movie was quirky, sweet and in the end, happy. Good times!

I’ve also caught Potter 5 and liked it a lot. I think it might be my favorite movie. The book was so miserable and the movie moved it along very well. I’m so scared to read 7!!!

The last bit of news I want to end on is that it looks as if the Sex & the City movie is going to happen. I’m trying to think happy thoughts, but I feel like this could be a tricky movie to pull off. I felt like everything ended so happy & tidy, why ruin it? Why not invest in an Arrested Development or Veronica Mars movie instead?

That’s all for now folks. I’m going to spend the rest of the day waiting by my mailbox for Potter. I’m very, very scared of this book and I’m going to lock myself in my room until I finish it.
I’ll be back next week to chime in with the performances that moved me the most this year, a broadway update and also to give my two cents on all the young Hollywood hoochies (so over them all).

Until then—KT out.
