HUGE Canceled

Filed under Huge, TV News
ABC Family has canceled HUGE.
Have to say, I’m disappointed.
The series — which followed a group of teenage girls struggling with weight issues at a summer fitness camp — was an hour of television bringing its viewers just a little something different.
I’m sure there are a lot of kids who watched the show and, for the first time, could relate to a character or two on screen. As fun as PRETTY LITTLE LIARS is, programming like HUGE is important too, and I enjoyed both this summer.
Sad to see HUGE go.
Star Nikki Blonsky tweeted the following today:
“2 all my fans who loved @#HUGE I thank u for ur support + 4 watching I love u guys and as much as u all loved Will I loved playing her!”
“To all my fans I promise I will become part of a new project and give u guys a new character to believe in and relate 2 ill never let u down.”

So what’s next? Give Me My Remote recently chatted with Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna) to get the scoop on the fallout from stealing Javier’s song and how Ade will be dealing with her relationships with Navid, Teddy and Naomi…

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down…unless there is a bunch of really good TV on the tube. Thankfully, it’s one of those Mondays. New episodes of all of your favorites (except of course for LONE STAR…too soon?) are back and joining the Monday line-up are the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Welcome, ladies.
I know what my schedule looks like…do you? What are you watching tonight? Let us know in the comments below.
Chuck | 8pm on NBC
“Chuck Versus the Cubic Z”
Villainous nemeses Hugo Panzer (“Stone Cold” Steve Austin) and Heather Chandler (Nicole Richie) return to haunt (and hunt) Chuck and Sarah. The conniving Chandler, however, stirs up Chuck’s curiosity when she claims she has information about his mother. Meanwhile, Morgan preps the store for an all-important video-game release. Stacy Keibler also guest stars. [GMMR: Have you entered our CHUCK vs. G.R.E.T.A. contest? Your fellow CHUCK fans have shared some amazing entries so far. Is yours better?]

MY GENERATION Canceled
October 4, 2010 by Korbi Ghosh
Filed under My Generation, TV News
On the heels of FOX axing LONE STAR after just two airings, ABC has made MY GENERATION the second victim of the 2010 fall season.
No surprise really, given the ratings, but the jam packed Thursday time slot which MY GENERATION was occupying pretty much ensured that it would tank.
Too bad, because the concept was pretty cool. Could’ve grown into a great series.
Sad stuff for the actors, writer-producers and crew.
Did any of you even see the show?

SUPERNATURAL: ‘Two and a Half Men’
October 2, 2010 by Nicole
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by Nicole, Supernatural
After last week’s good but very disconcerting episode, I’ve spent far too much time trying to figure out what is going on with Sam, with the Campbells and with Domestic Dean. After last night’s episode, I’m no closer to a solid theory than I was a week ago, but on the plus side, there was a (partial) return to the old Sam and Dean dynamic that was clearly lacking in the season premiere.
As new showrunner Sera Gamble has discussed in interviews, season six is seeing a return to monster of the week type stories, but this year we’ll be seeing the origins of a lot of the monsters we’ve come to know and love. Last night this was true for an old favorite, the shapeshifter. It seems the Alpha Shifter (the first one ever), has been spending his time impregnating unsuspecting women and then returning when the babies reach the age of six months to claim them, leaving a trail of gruesomely murdered parents in its wake. It’s unclear what the shifter is collecting babies for (perhaps it’s trying to get it’s own show on TLC?), but this is just how shifters spawn.
SMALLVILLE: Shield
October 2, 2010 by Sarah Luoma
Filed under Smallville
This week’s SMALLVILLE has me on a love/hate rollercoaster! While I wasn’t so thrilled with a few turn of events in “Shield”, there was no way I would ever turn it off because I was afraid I could miss something! It felt like the first day of school, exciting yet uncomfortably new. Now that the season premiere is over and we’re settling into the storyline for the season I couldn’t help but notice the changes among the cast, and how a few of the character’s roles that have changed…just a bit.
My issue, or should I say issues, with the second episode of the season? Chloe, Tess, Dead Shot, and tonight’s guest star Keri Lynn Pratt, who you may remember from the former WB show Jack and Bobby. Don’t get me wrong – it’s the final season and with Clark set to become Superman, change is inevitable, but with Chloe missing the show feels off. Instead of mulling over the web with Chloe, Clark is relying on the help of Tess, with hesitation I admit.
It was strange and eerie when Clark set up Cat Grant in the apartment above the Talon. But the show must go on and I’m sure with all the action about to hit Smallville, this episode just had to be one that spent time building the story up for the final season.
