Comments Off on NBC Keeps PARENTHOOD Put, Pushes Back LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES and THE MARRIAGE REF
Attention, TV fans!
NBC’s midseason schedule was already set to be one of the craziest, but now the network has made some additional changes.
PARENTHOOD — which was scheduled to move to Mondays at 10pm on March 7th — will be staying where it is (Tuesdays at 10pm). The return of LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES — which was scheduled to take PARENTHOOD’s timeslot beginning February 8th — is to be determined.
In addition to these changes, THE MARRIAGE REF will return at a date yet to be announced. It was scheduled to premiere on March 6th at 8pm, but the new competition series AMERICA’S NEXT GREAT RESTAURANT will be debuting in its place.
What do you think of these changes? Why do you think NBC’s shuffled its midseason scheduling around so much?

Regis Philbin Announces Departure from LIVE WITH REGIS AND KELLY
January 18, 2011 by Alanna Bennett
Filed under TV News
Could it be? The longtime talk show host, American media personality and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER guest star Regis Philbin has announced that he will be leaving LIVE WITH REGIS AND KELLY in the summer or fall of this year.
Philbin, who holds the world record for most time spent in front of a television camera, made the announcement towards the end of Tuesday’s broadcast of the show. “It’s been a long time,” Philbin began. “It’s been 28 years and it was the biggest thrill of my life to come back to New York, where I grew up as a kid watching TV in the early days, you know—never even dreaming that I would one day have the ability, or whatever it takes, to get in front of the camera and talk to it…There is a time that everything must come to an end for certain people on camera—especially certain old people!”
LIVE WITH REGIS AND KELLY, as many of you know, has cycled through three female hosts over its nearly thirty year run: Cindy Garvey, Kathy Lee Gifford have come and gone with Kelly Ripa coming up on her ten year anniversary with the show. But Regis has been there the whole time. Now, at 79, he’s decided to move on.
What do you guys think?
And can you picture anyone filling his shoes adequately?
My vote goes toward Anderson Cooper or Neil Patrick Harris — I always enjoy when they take over co-hosting duties for a day — though both those boys would probably be a long shot, especially considering Anderson’s already in talks for his very own show, and NPH is pretty busy out in L.A.

Geeks, rejoice! The wondrously referential NBC comedy COMMUNITY announced at TCA that an upcoming episode will be devoted to the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. In fact, the entire episode will consist of the study group sitting at their usual table, playing the game.
That may not sound like much to COMMUNITY outsiders, but knowing the people responsible for the show, they’re sure to do some things stylistically to make the episode a lot more interesting.

THE CAPE Series Premiere Review
January 10, 2011 by Alanna Bennett
Filed under #1 featured, The Cape
When Bruce Wayne rode off at the end of The Dark Knight, sacrificing his persona as Batman by turning the masked hero into a villain in the public’s eyes, America’s pulse collectively increased with the surge of adrenaline caused by the three-hour roller coaster ride. Christopher Nolan had done it again, bringing the classic tale of a heroic vigilante up to date in a gritty urban setting. Tom Wheeler, executive producer of NBC’s new series THE CAPE, attempts to do the same for the small screen. Did he succeed? It might take time to tell.

I’m not entirely sure what to think of NBC’s upcoming series THE CAPE.

He decides to send a message to his family and battle the criminal forces of the city, taking on the persona of his son’s favorite comic-book hero, The Cape.
