In the end the Bluth’s found a good home, but the real patriarch of Arrested Development didn’t feel he could live there. Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of Arrested Development, has decided not to continue on as showrunner, a role that had he chosen to take, would have landed Arrested Development on Showtime. A deal was in place to move AD from Fox to Showtime, but only if Mitch Hurwtiz stayed on board. Mitch Hurwitz told Variety that his involvement with Arrested Development is over.
The fans have been so ardent in their devotion and in return … I’ve given everything I can to the show in order to try to live up to their expectations,” Hurwitz told Daily Variety on Monday. “I finally reached a point where I felt I couldn’t continue to deliver that on a weekly basis.”
Does this mean the end of the Bluth’s? Pretty much…yeah. But will we see them reunited on the big screen someday? Hurwitz hinted that it could be a possibility.

Everwood is Back! Everwood is Back!

WOW! I almost forget that Everwood is back tonight with an all new episode. It’s been just over three months since we last caught up with the residents of Everwood, Colorado. And tonight we are lucky enough to have 2 hours of fantastic television.
PLEASE…I beg of you, WATCH EVERWOOD TONIGHT. This is an incredible show and it need viewers tonight, yes, tonight if it has any chance to make it to The CW next season. This is your last chance to save Everwood. A show that Entertainment Weekly rated as #6 on the list of TV’s best shows.
From Entertainment Weekly:
The cast — from doc/dad Treat Williams to Chris Pratt’s affable jock — is sterling, and worthy of this unique series: Everwood is a sensitive, smart family soap that allows its likable characters to screw up and fall short, yet always strive to do the right thing. This tiny Colorado town isn’t filled with villains and divas, but plain, genuine, decent people, a twist that turns out to be absolutely compelling.
Please watch tonight…Everwood at 8pm (est) on The WB followed right after with a 2nd full hour.
Back To Our Regulary Scheduled Programming

Although a bit tired from taking the red eye home, I’m happy to report that I made it back to the East Coast safe and sound. California was fantastic, and I had the best time, but man…I am exhausted. My TiVo is equally as tired from recording all my shows while I was away. I’m going to do my best to catch up on everything today, so we can get back to talking about the best of the best on TV. But until then…
Oh, I crossed paths with a few more celebs since last time I posted, so I thought I would pass along the scoop. Saturday afternoon my girls and I headed over to do a little shopping at Fred Segal’s, we drove by one of the member’s of Kiss…but don’t ask me which one. While at lunch, Isaac Mizrahi and a friend were seated at the table next to ours. Always looking for a good story, I was hoping Isaac would molest me like he did Scarlett Johannson, but no such luck. The best part was when Isaac hid his face behind his hand because he thought my friend was trying to take a picture of him. She totally wasn’t…she was just scrolling through the pics we had taken the day before. Isaac’s such a diva.
Saturday night we hit up one of LA’s hottest restaurants, Koi, and although we had a fabulous meal, we didn’t run into any celebs. After Koi we made a quick stop at The Roosevelt Hotel where we saw the one and only Drew Barrymore getting into an old, beat-up station wagon-truck. Drew was a lot thinner that I imagined her to be. But cute as a button.
Our next stop of the night was Privilege. From what people tell me, Privilege is the place to party in LA. The exclusive nightclub is essentially in a parking lot on Sunset in West Hollywood, which I thought was odd. No cameras are allowed inside the club, but the nice people of Privilege let you pay them $5 to hold your camera until you leave. So sweet. The club was dark, and very smokey. I didn’t realize that in LA you can still smoke inside – and, as it turns out, smoke an obscene amount of weed, which everyone around me seem to be doing. Gotta love LA. You also gotta love that I got to witness first hand the absolute trainwreck that is Tara Reid. We were dancing when we saw Tara stumble her way off the dancefloor towards the bathrooms. Her head was down, and she could barely walk unassisted – classic!! Our limo driver (yes, we travel LA in style) told us that she had driven Tara Reid around a bunch of times, and said the girl is ALWAYS a drunk mess. She’s a disaster.
While I was in the ladies room (not with Tara unfortunately), my girlfriends were chatting it up with Pauley Shore. Now that’s a moment I wish I had captured on camera..ha ha. The only other noteworthy person we saw at Privilege was Brandon Davis – who is really only “famous” for being rich and dating Mischa Barton. If only Coop were there that night.
Since Sunday was our last day in LA, I didn’t really expect to see any other famous folks. So you can imagine how happy I was when the hotel elevator doors opened and Jason from Laguna Beach walked in. He and his stylist? publicist? assistant? were doing a last minute outfit check. Collar up or collar down…big decisions for J. Wahl. As it turns out, Jason was at The W to do a promotional photoshoot for The Hills – the Laguna Beach spinoff featuring LC. Oh LC (Lauren Conrad) was there too. She and her other friends (including Heidi and Jordan) were sporting white robes in between takes. And for those of you wondering, LC and Jason are still very much together. They were kissing and canoodling on the front steps of the hotel. I just didn’t feel comfortable taking any pics, so this pic from The Laguna Beach Hook-up will have to suffice
My last celebrity sighting came during my Sunday afternoon lunch at The Ivy. Two tables away was actress and former pinup girl, Raquel Welch. She looks great!
Well that’s that. I’m home from California, and ready to catch up on all my missed shows. I had just enough “celeb” sightings to keep my happy. And even though I didn’t run into John Krasinski, it was a damn good time.
I’ll be posting later on tonight. I just finished this week’s Veronica Mars (which was fabulous) so we’ll have to talk about that. Also, I have some theories on why UPN is moving Veronica Mars and I’d love to hear what you think about it. Oh yeah, still planning on talking with show creator Rob Thomas, and star Jason Dohring tomorrow afternoon, so if you have any questions…now’s the time to pass them along.
Now on to The West Wing, Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Lost, Blow Out, Survivor, and all the other shows I missed while I was away. I’ve got a lot of TV to catch up on.
Update from LA…Few More Celeb Sightings

Filed under GMMR News, TV News
After a few beautiful days in Palm Springs, my girlfriends and I landed in LA tonight, well, technically last night. It’s 2:30am here, and I’ve been out having a fab time for the past few hours, so if this post is little run on and nonsensical…please forgive me. Just wanted to pass along that I had 3 new “celeb” sightings tonight. And I didn’t even have to go to far…all of them were at the W in LA, where I happen to be staying.
During dinner with my girls, basketball star Rick Fox (formerly of my Boston Celtics, and most recently the LA Lakers) sauntered into the restaurant. I will say this…the man in pretty. For you non-basketball fans, you may remember the Vanessa William’s ex-husband, Fox, also had roles in shows like Love Inc and Oz.
After dinner, we decided to hang at the swanky hotel bar. This is where I noticed Hottie McHot, James Lafferty, who plays Nathan Scott on The WB’s One Tree Hill. James looked gooood. Even better than he does on TV. Just as I was leaving to head up to my room, my friend Steph noticed that Hilarie Burton, who Peyton on OTH had joined James and a few of his friends for a cocktail.
Personally, the best sighting I had today was seeing my friend KM walk through our hotel room door at 2AM. If you remember, last week I told you that KM had to bail on the trip the day before we were supposed to leave because her bosses were making her work. Well she surprised us all and she’s here now…ready to celebrate the rest of the birthday weekend!!! YAY!!!
Heading out to see LA in the morning, and my morning I mean a few hours. No sign of J. Kras yet. But I’ll keep ya posted!!!
Psycho Oliver in The House

Filed under The OC, TV News
So it’s my second night here in Palm Springs, California and I just had my first celebrity sighting. Ok, maybe not a real celebrity-celebrity, but the guy was on TV so it counts. I was in the lobby having a few drinks with my girlfriends before dinner when this kid walked in. I kept staring at him, because I knew he looked familar, but I just couldn’t place him. Then it hit me….it was Oliver!!! No not Peter Brady’s dorky cousin, but the gun wielding psycho who was after Marissa Cooper on The OC. To be honest, I had look up the guy’s name on iMDB.com (it’s Taylor Handley by the way), but it was him. So Oliver Trask is staying at the same resort. Guess Oliver has moved on from Coop and is now stalking me! Ha ha!! I hope he’s not the only celebrity I see while in Cali….heading to LA tomorrow afternoon, so we’ll see.

I’m back in sunny California for a few days, and I’m already loving it!!! I was dreading the flight from Boston to LA yesterday, but it turned out to be a lot fo fun. Shout out to Song Airlines for hooking my girls and I up with a few free birthday drinks. Then again, maybe getting a little tipsy on the plane wasn’t the best idea since we had a 2 hour drive from LA to Palm Springs…no worries, I wasn’t driving.
Anyway, we are here in Palm Springs for a few days, before heading up to LA. Right now we are staying at the gorgeous Le Meridien. This place is really beautiful. Heading off to the pool in a few minutes but I just wanted to check in and say Hi to you all.
Randon TV Thoughts….
- Trying my best to avoid Veronica Mars and Lost spoilers. I did however jump online last night to see who was booted from Idol. Sorry Chicken Little…but it was your time.
- The Office is a repeat tonight, but it’s one of my favorites, Health Care. If you haven’t caught this Season One ep, you have to check it out…hysterical!!!
- Veronica Mars fans…time to be jealous again. I’m talking to Rob Thomas and Jason Dohring again this Tuesday. I’ll make sure to pass along any inside scoop. And of course, if you have any questions for the guys, feel free to email me.
I’ll be checking in a few times over the next few days. Wish me luck with celebrity sightings. I better at least catch an Olsen twin while in LA.

Breaking News – I Didn’t Hate Kevin Covais
March 21, 2006 by Kath Skerry
Filed under American Idol
I just finished watching Kevin Covais’ performance on American Idol, and I can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually enjoyed it. I think it’s because I bought it. It was sweet and heartfelt. Since I spend so much time bashing him, I felt it was only right to give a shout out to Chicken Little. Listen, I think this kid is one of the cutest and most charming contestants we’ve seen in a long time, but I haven’t really bought him as a contender in a singing competition. But tonight was good, I may even throw a vote his way tonight. Depends on how many I can get in for Chris, Mandisa, and Taylor first. And there may be others to add to my voting list…I haven’t finished watching the ep yet.
Give Me My Remote is MY Website
March 21, 2006 by Kath Skerry
Filed under GMMR News, TV News
Warning: The following is a self indulgent rant. Read at your own risk!
Let me give you a little insight into how I approach this crazy world of blogging. See, as you know, I have a full time, real job. Sometimes my real job is actually more than a full time job. Most days I just don’t have a lot of time to blog. But I have really fallen for Give Me My Remote so I find time for it. When I know I have a crazy day ahead, I often find myself getting up earlier than usual in the morning, just to try to post a little something before I start my day. It’s fun for me. And I love that more and more of you are stopping by everyday. When I started a few months ago, I remember how excited I was when I got 50 people to visit in one day. You can imagine how stoked I get now on days when I get 100x that!!!
But here’s the deal…I really can’t post about something that I don’t care about. Now I’m not trying to be self important here, but what i’m trying to say is that I just can’t make myself write about something that I have no opinion on. I like the shows I like, and I’m not going to fake it, because I’m not really beholden to anyone but myself.
For example, I really don’t ever set out to do episode recaps. There are plenty of TV sites that do that, and MUCH better than me. Do you have any idea how long recaps take? Shout out to those at TWOP who have mastered the art of the recap. But as is often the case, I’m watching the show and feel compelled to write about it. This was true for last Sunday’s Grey’s Anatomy. I watched the entire episode with my roomate…and made no notes along the way. But see I enjoyed it so much, I decided to watch the episode again just so I could write a recap for those who missed it.
Yeah, I tend to write about the same shows a lot…The Office, Veronica Mars, Grey’s Anatomy, American Idol, etc, because those are the shows I really enjoy watching and talking about with all of you. I know I could probably have a few more people here if I talked about more high profile shows like 24, but I’m just not that into them (Nothing against 24 – hell, I have the entire season waiting for me on TiVo. I just want to make sure I have them time to really get into it.)
When i get excited about something I watch on TV, GiveMeMyRemote.com allows me to capture that excitement and share it with the few thousand of you that stop by everyday. So what prompted this little rant? Well, it was a combination of two things.
The first was Chris Daughtry’s performance tonight on American Idol. I had no intention of writing anything on the site tonight. See, it’s my 30th birthday, and although it should have been a great day, it wasn’t. My real job kind of sucked, my grandfather had emergency surgery, I just found out that one of my friends that was going with me to California tomorrow has to stay behind in Boston to work, Adam Viniteri left the Patriots for the Colts, and I have a ton of work to still do tonight before I go to sleep. Blogging just wasn’t on my list of priorities tonight. But then I watched Chris Daughtry perform..and he was awesome (per usual), and it just made me want to write about tonight’s show.
So what lead me from a post that was supposed to be about American Idol to this self indulgent rant that few of you will even read? Well, I got a message from a GiveMeMyRemote.com reader blasting me for always talking about the same shows. The email implied that I was in the back pocket of The Office and Veronica Mars and if this site was going to stay around I needed to concentrate on other shows. Dude, screw that. This is a blog…I’m not freakin’ TVGuide.com. I don’t get paid for doing this, which means I get to write what I want to write about. I like The Office and Veronica Mars (among MANY other shows that I often write about), and if I’m lucky enough to get to interview some of the cast, or get flown out to visit the set, you think I’m going to turn that down? Hells no. And if I want to share my experience with GMMR readers, then in the immortal words of Bobby Brown – it’s my perrogative. Again, I write about the shows I care about. If you don’t like the same shows, or GMMR.com, it’s cool. Head over to another site…nothing I can do about it. But seriously, why waste your time writing me harsh emails, criticizing MY website? It is what it is, and I can only hope that people like it, but if they don’t, there’s not much I’m going to change. You can’t please everybody, right?
In case you were wondering I’m done with my rant now…I’m heading back to TiVo to enjoy the rest of American Idol.
Back to our regular scheduled programming……

Why Tom Cruise is not putting his weight behind something productive like saving starving children or something I just don’t know. When is he going to realize that all his antics are perpetuating the negative sterotypes put on Scientologists.

It’s Not Wednesday, but Here’s a little Veronica Mars For Ya
March 21, 2006 by Kath Skerry
Filed under Veronica Mars
As I promised, every Wednesday I will be passing along a new pic and some background sccop from my day on the set of Veronica Mars. So yeah, I know it’s not Wednesday, but I’m heading back to California tomorrow, and I’m not sure I’m going to have time to post much before my flight.
A few nuggets…
Ever wonder how Dick and Beav Casablancas got their names? Well during lunch with Rob Thomas, he told us (and I’m paraphrasing here) that back in the day, every so often, the writers needed Logan to have a friend, besides Duncan. This friend was always kind of a dick, so in the writer’s room, they just started referring to him as, Dick. That made its way into the script and the rest is history. After Dick Casablancas became more of a presence on the show, the writers decided to give him a kid brother. They wanted him to be on the other specturm of his older brother. Someone sweet and innocent – you know, like the Beav, from Leave it to Beaver. I believe that Rob even said that it didn’t occur to them immediately that they would have brothers named Dick & Beav. But when it did, there was no turning back. You know how the writers of Veronica Mars love their double entendres…just as we do, often and hilarious.
Speaking of hilarious, albeit nasty – you could have picked my jaw up off the ground when Logan threw us a little “shocker” earlier in the season. I couldn’t believe that got by the network censors. Rob Thomas was a bit surprised too. The “shocker” was all the handy work (no pun intended) of Jason Dohring & Ryan Hansen. They threw it in the middle of the scene…on every take. Had the network censors taken issue, the entire scene would have had to be reshot. But it made it to the air, in one of the funniest scenes on the show. Oh yeah, the after effect of the “schocker” will be seen again. I’m not going to spill it now, but look for Veronica and Weevil to have a little “shocker” scene in a future ep. Oh…get your minds out of the gutter. Veronica Mars gets away with a lot, but THAT is pushing it.
Remember to check out Veronica Mars every Wednesday at 9pm(est) on UPN. What’s on tap for tomorrow night?

Prison Break is a Damn Good Show (Contains Prison Break Spoilers for “The Rat”)
March 21, 2006 by Kath Skerry
Filed under Prison Break, TV Drama, TV News
You know how hard it is to type when you’ve been crying for a 1/2 hour straight? I just finished watching last night’s Prison Break, and I cried like a little baby. Prison Break returned to TV last night after what seemed like years. Fox was smart enough to pair it with 24. Now that’s some Monday night lineup. If you missed last night’s episode, here’s the basics.
So when we last left off, Michael Scofield and his band of merry criminals were trapped in the maintenance room after the corroded pipe they planned on using during their escape was replaced. Without that pipe there plan was foiled. After realizing defeat, and almost getting caught by a few suspicious guards, the guys darted back through the man made underground tunnel and up through the guards bunker. They arrived above ground just as Bellick entered. Whew…I forgot how anxious this show gets me.
With no way to break out, Michael must deal with the reality of his brother’s execution at midnight that night. Meanwhile, a pissed off T-Bag is giving Michael a bit more grief than he needs right now. Threats are flying every which way.
One person who seems to understand what Michael is going through is DB Cooper. Recalling tales of past executions, Cooper tells Michael a story in which one of his fellow inmates had to wait an extra three weeks to be executed because there was a malfunction with the electric chair. Michael was hoping to get a few more details when Tweener interrupted their little chat. But Michael (and DB Cooper) knew the message being sent.
On the outside, Veronica and Nick are still trying to work the legal side of Linc’s case. An old law school friend of Nick manages to get Lincoln’s case heard by a judge. But with no strong evidence, there’s nothing the judge can do. The appeal was denied.
Michael manages a trip to the Dr’s office, not only to see Sarah, but Lincoln, who is in an adjoining room. Michael pleads with Sarah to ask her father (the Governor) to grant Lincoln clemency. Sarah said that despite her best efforts, her father just wouldn’t listen to her. Michael asks that Sarah just hear Nick & Veornica out before making her final decision about asking her father.
Not wanting to put all his eggs in one basket, Michael manages to escape through his cell tunnel mid-day in an attempt to disrupt the electric chair. He manages to find a rat which he uses to compromise the fuse leading to the chair. As DB Cooper mentioned, every death by execution must follow a number of strict protocols. Something as simple as changing a fuse requires the issuing of paperwork and a stay of execution until the paperwork is completed. Michael figures the faulty chair would buy Linc at least three more weeks.
What Michael hadn’t counted on was Tweener snitching to Bellick. In order to save his own ass (literaly), Tweener told Bellick that he overheard Cooper and Michael discussing the end result of a faulty electric chair. Upon receiving this intel, Bellick heads over to inspect the chair himself. And what do you know…the chair isn’t working right. Bellick, and the head warden in charge of the death chamber, enlist the services of the maintenance guy who informs them that the fuse shortage was caused by the dead rat. Bellick asks him to replace the fuse ASAP, but the maintenace guy tells him that he needs to file the appropriate paperwork or get fired. Billick uses the “Lincoln Burrows is a terrorist” line to convince the guy to change the fuse without filing the paperwork. I mean, it’s not like anyone would know. The fuse is fixed and the walk of death begins.
After getting his head properly shaved, Lincoln is allowed some time to spend with Michael and Veronica. Veronica tells the guys that Dr. Sarah came by to hear them out, and she’s going to try to talk to her father about a stay. Linc isn’t interested in hearing any more talk of hope. He wants to get right with himself before he has to head to the chair. Veronica lets Lincoln know that LJ couldn’t come to the execution as he is still wanted by the police. She does however call LJ so the father and son could have their last conversation….and let the waterworks begin.
LJ tells his father that he dreamt of the two of the working on a house. But in his his dream they were both older. He loves his father and doesn’t want him to die today. Break my heart. LJ may be a punk but the kid has been through a lot lately. You know, with his father on death row, his mother being killed in front of him, being framed for his mother’s murder by the corrupt Secret Service agents who seem to be hunting him down. Damn, what a week for that kid.
After hanging up with his son, Lincoln loses it a bit all while claiming his innocence. It’s just about that time that Pope enters and tells Lincoln it’s time to die. Well not in those words, but you’re picking up what I’m putting down. During the long walk to the death chamber, the Warden gets a call from the Governor. Did Sarah’s speech to her Daddy work? Nope. See the Governor is much more beholden to the Vice President of the United States, who is standing over his shoulder, than he is his daughter. The Governor was just calling the Warden to inform him that he reviewed all the facts, but he’s not granting the stay of execution. That’s it…Lincoln is going to fry.
As he enters the chamber, Lincoln has flashbacks of his life, and all the times those he love told him to keep the faith. He tries to remain strong, but the final hugs from Veronica and his baby brother, Michael are really hurting the guy. This is breaking my heart, and doing a number on my mascara. Had I known Prison Break was going to be so emotional tonight, I would have worn the waterproof stuff.
Lincoln is escorted into the chamber and comes face to face with The Chair. And we come face to face with the end of tonight’s episode of Prison Break.
I’m beyond thrilled that this show is back. It’s the one show on TV that keeps me on the edge of my seat for the full hour. The upcoming scenes look good. I’ve been avoiding spoilers as much as I can. I’m just not sure I want to know how things are going to playout for Michael, Lincoln, and the rest of Fox River State Penitentiary inmates, but something tells me that we should heed the advice of Lincoln Burrows, (and the 2004 Red Sox)…KEEP THE FAITH.
Jonathan Antin’s Blow Out Returns
March 20, 2006 by Kath Skerry
Filed under Reality TV, TV News
TV ‘s 2nd biggest blow hard (Simon Cowell, you will always be first in my book), is back on the small screen tomorrow night. Yes, Jonathan Antin, owner of the Jonathan Antin Salon, and star of Bravo’s hit reality show,Blow Out, is back and in full effect y’all. Last time we saw Jonathan, he had just launched his new line of hair products (ironically called Jonathan Products), and he just found out he was going to be a Daddy.
For those of you who have never seen Blow Out, check out http://www.bravotv.com/Blow_Out/ to get caught up on the previous 2 seasons. But really, all you need to know is that Jonathan Antin owns 2 salons in California, and cameras follow around he and his staff as the drama unfolds. Granted, most if this drama revolves around which of Jonathan’s assistants is going to wash hair that day, but hey, it’s still drama.
For reasons I have yet to fully discover, I I LOVE this show. Yes, Jonathan is self absorbed and constantly needs attention, but he’s still entertaining. His staff of drama queens are always easy to laugh at (sorry, but these people get all riled up over the most ridiculous things). And you never know which celebrity will walk into Jonathan’s salon for a quick and EXPENSIVE trim. Last year, Jonathan did the do’s of two of my favorites – Jenna Fischer (Pam, The Office), and Kristen Bell (Veronica, Veronica Mars). Other celebrity clientel include Lisa Rinna, Margaret Cho, & Kate Bosworth.
If all else fails, you can always play the Blow Out Drinking Game. It’s easy – you just take one sip for everytime Jonathan cries on camera. I don’t advise watching this show at a friend’s house if it means you are going to have to drive home – you will be well above the legal limit. This man knows a thing or two about the boo hoos!
So has Jonathan’s recent success in the hair product world gone to his head? Or has fatherhood tamed his massive ego? You can bet I’ll be tuned in to find out as Blow Out launches its third season on Tuesday, March 21st at 9pm.
Dwight Schrute’s MySpace Page Removed :(

Filed under The Office
Looks like Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute) decided to shut down his MySpace page. Guess it was too much for him to keep up with. That’s too bad. But I can’t say I blame him. I’m sure he was overwhelmed with all the craziness of having all these new “friends” emailing him constantly. Word about the shutdown came from Angela…
Hey guys,
a lot of you have asked me what happened to Dwight K. Schrute’s page. I spoke to him and he wanted me to pass this on to you all.Dwight was a bit overwhelmed with all his new friends and the amount of work it takes to keep up a myspace page for someone so popular. You know he was salesman of the year! And the kind of attention that comes with an award like that is ridiculous. He loves you all! And thanks you all!! But he felt he needed to shut down his page to concentrate on sales. Very best of luck to you.
Lucky for GiveMeMyRemote.com readers, you don’t have to wait too long before you hear from Dwight Schrute again. Rainn Wilson is going to be answering questions for us in the next couple of weeks. I’ve been getting a lot of great questions from GMMR readers. If you have a question for Dwight, you can either email me, or leave a question for Rainn Wilson in the GMMR Forums.
