NEWS

Here's some stuff that's going on in the entertainment world today, or yesterday, or a few days ago!!!

  • Heroes picked up for a full season! In case you don't know how it works, shows usually get picked up for 13 episodes and then if it does well, it'll get picked up for what's called the "back 9" which is just like it sounds. Some shows, like Kidnapped, don't get picked up for the "back 9", which is just like being cancelled. Bye bye Jeremy Sisto, you're still HOT.

  • Smith cancelled. Although I didn't watch beyond the pilot, I admired this show, as did a lot of people, including critics. As we know though, it doesn't really matter what critics say. It only matters what the Nielson box says. Bye bye Simon Baker, you're still HOT.

  • Prison Break was not cancelled. I know some of you are weeping for this, but it's been preempted for a few weeks for baseball. I was actually worried I wasn't going to see my dear Wentie for awhile, but alas, I will, in a few weeks. Yay!

  • Who Wants to Be a Superhero back on Sci Fi. Yes, in case you didn't watch this show, it was hilarious. Sci Fi just picked it up for a second season, airing ten episodes next summer. Why does this give me so much joy?

  • A two hour, two day 24 premiere. I'm so happy I could... cry. Just like last season's 2 hour, two day premiere, 24 will be back on Sunday, January 14th at 8pm with a two hour show. Then the next night they'll show two more hours starting at 8pm. Then the show will settle into it's normal Monday 9pm slot the next week, January 22nd.

  • ER back on top! Since there's no real competition against it anymore because of Without a Trace moving to Sundays, ER is back baby! Of course, is that really saying much when your competition is so awful. Actually, I shouldn't speak ill of Shark on CBS since I haven't watched it, but Six Degrees on ABC. Wow, it's so awful. Let's just be glad those executives and writers are working on that, and not frakin' up Grey's and Lost.

  • The guys at YouTube are rich. Yes, and the guys at Google are smart. Google bought out YouTube for $1.65 Billion. So for allowing people to post their own movies, the YouTube people made more money then there are people in America. In case anyone is wondering, I'm for sale too. And you don't have to spend that much on me either. I'd be happy with a cool mil. Or half a mil even. Who am I kidding, ten bucks and an ice cream from Cold Stone would do it for me.
