Hello everyone! Lots & lots of tv scoop so let’s get right to it.
One of the shows that was most affected by the writer’s strike was Scrubs. As most of you know, the show is supposed to end this season. Writers were concerned that if the strike went on for too long that they wouldn’t be able to film the series finale. Well, now comes news that if NBC doesn’t allow the show to film its final episodes, the show may move to ABC next fall for 18 new episodes! ABC Studios produces Scrubs & apparently ABC & NBC haven’t been able to come to a deal about the finale (NBC still has 5 pre-strike episodes to air). Sources also say that the cast is all onboard, and that includes Zach Braff.
While I was away Jay watched the new Knight Rider tv movie. He thoroughly enjoyed it (although I can not give my endorsement yet as I haven’t see it)…Jay was SO excited by the tv movie that he wanted to know if it was possible that the show could get picked up next season. Well, I have heard through the grapevine that it is very possible that the show will get a fall pickup.
In Grey’s news, Kate Walsh (aka Addison) will be dropping in for one episode. As for Josh Jackson, who was cast as a love interest for Christina-pre strike---I hear that he’s working on Fringe, J.J. Abrams' new show up in Toronto but no recasting has been started yet on Josh's Grey's role, so I’ still holding out hope…..
In other casting news, Julianne Moore will stop by Wisteria Lane as (of course) Bree’s sister..
For all of you CW fans, the station eliminated its comedy division and combined its drama and ''current programming'' departments as part of a restructuring plan. In other CW news, The news the network announced the renewals of six series, including Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. No word on Reaper. See, now you know why I have banished the CW! How many of you have told me to watch Reaper? That show won’t make it through the season! That network is dead to me…DEAD…unless…
Things are not looking so good for our friends in Dillon, Texas. Word is that the cast & crew were ready to go back to work right after the strike ended but NBC said ‘no thanks’. In April, the season 2 dvd will be released (so um, that was supposed to be our season finale?) and things are not looking good for a season 3 pick up. But, the people behind Friday Night Lights are exploring other options for the show, including the CW. So, I proclaim that if the CW picks up FNL I will lift my ban on the network. That being said, I think the people at the CW are a bunch of idiots and that they won’t pick up FNL anyway.
A few weeks back I reported that Jeffrey Tambor (George Bluth Sr.) said that Ron Howard had just contacted him about the Arrested Development movie. And now comes word that at the Independent Spirit Awards Jason Bateman told USA Today that the project is "gathering momentum." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
This summer looks like it is shaping up to be a good movie season (yay!) Here are some trailers & release dates for movies I’m most excited about.
