CBS Fall Schedule

Category: News, TVvelveetahead @ 11:30 am

Already mentioned how CBS canceled Moonlight, but here is the full scoop on its shows for next season. They also canceled Shark, but I’m not overly sad about that one. I watched it, but it was starting to bore me. I won’t miss it.

CBS: Good & Bad News

Category: News, TVvelveetahead @ 8:13 pm

CBS finally announced that it canceled Moonlight. It didn’t like that it lost 13% of its audience from Ghost Whisperer, so it is gone. Even the crazy fan base that set up a blood drive to save the show didn’t work.

In better news, they did renew The New Adventures of Old Christine and How I Met Your Mother. More info on other shows after their official upfront tomorrow.

It is official that Reaper is coming back next season. It only received a 13-episode order as a mid-season replacement, but it’s better than nothing.

After Strike Updates

Category: News, TVvelveetahead @ 11:47 pm

Just last week it looked like Women’s Murder Club might not be canceled just yet. There was no news after the writer’s strike ended. Then the rumors about the set being torn down started. After that, they were told to stop since there might an additional three episodes if a new show runner is found. What happened to the old show runner? I don’t know! I liked Angie Harmon so I would like this show to continue. I wouldn’t mind if they lost crazy blonde lady who I still see as the killer on one of the 24 seasons.

Strike Update

Category: News, TVvelveetahead @ 12:50 am

The writer’s strike is officially over. Some shows are going back into production for 4-6 episodes to air in April and May (mostly self-contained procedurals like CSI and comedies), while other serialized shows will be relaunched next fall. Over at TV Guide, Michael Ausiello has a chart on all shows, but here are the ones that I care about, plus a few that I know you guys like too.

ABC Likes Shows + Moonlight Good News

Category: News, TVvelveetahead @ 9:29 pm

ABC has given Pushing Daisies a full season order (yeah!), while also ordering three more scripts for Carpoolers (yuck!) and six more episodes of Samantha Who? Pushing Daises has won its timeslot in adults 18-49 since it premiered. Carpoolers has kept or built on its lead in from Cavemen, which thankfully has not been asked for additional scripts, but unfortunately has not been canceled either. Samantha Who? had the most watched new series debut and kept most of its audience in its second week.

Over at CBS, four additional scripts have been ordered for Moonlight, which has moved ahead of Women’s Murder Club in that very much wanted adults 18-49 demographic.  I find the show goofy, but it is entertaining enough to watch on the computer while I’m half paying attention, doing something else.

Premiere Bits

Category: Recaps, TVvelveetahead @ 10:20 pm

Since I was hanging out with Amy and Marci in Tucson during Fall Premiere Week, I was behind on my tv watching. Here are some of the shows that aired last week, but I finally watched this weekend or this week.

Desperate Housewives

I was having fun with Edie last season, but I didn’t like the way she started out this season. She is all needy and icky. Sure, she was a bit needy last season too, but it was entertaining. She better get more entertaining with her blackmailing of Carlos and all his crazy, hidden money or I will wish she really did hang herself. And what is up with Carlos and his crazy, hidden money? Why didn’t he run off somewhere after the divorce? He couldn’t really spend the money with the whole embezzlement thing he got in trouble with before, so he would have had to run away. That would have kept him away from Gabby though, so maybe that’s why. I’m glad when I answer my own questions.
