Cohen. Voice actors Billy West, Katey Segal, and John DiMaggio are all expected to return to the comedy about a frozen pizza boy who wakes up 1000 years in the future.

Bravo Looking For Next top Chef
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Reality, Specials, Cable, Talent, Renewals,
The popular reality show Top Chef is looking for the next great Julia Child or Emeril Legasse. (Remember Emeril? Apparently he was quite the cooking sensation before he sold out to appear in toothpaste commercials.) Bravo has ordered a second season of Top Chef, and now needs…well, a top chef.
In case you’ve missed it, Top Chef is a kinder, gentler version of Hell’s Kitchen, where chefs of all specialties compete against each other to be named the best. Producers are now auditioning contestants for the second season, and will focus their search in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Las Vegas. Have you got what it takes? Then grab your white hat and apron and go for it.
If you’re already a fan, you’ll be pleased to know that the May 17 season finale has been extended to two hours, and will feature The Sopranos sensation Lorraine Bracco. There’s also a special reunion show that will air May 10. Now that’s cooking up good television.

NBC Renews ‘Medium,’ ‘Las Vegas,’ And ‘Crossing Jordan’
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, NBC, Medium, News, Renewals,
Word is out: these three popular series will remain on NBC’s 2007 line-up. Oh, happy day! Medium will be back! Medium will be back! Sure, Las Vegas and Crossing Jordan are great too, but Medium is one of the absolute best shows (perhaps rivaled only by House, M.D.) on television today. Medium stars Patricia Arquette who portrays Allison Dubois, a real-life psychic who talks to dead people. Although the show was marketed on its eerie, supernatural elements, it’s the everyday, family elements that make it so special. Allison’s husband Joe and their three adorable daughters absolutely light up the screen. The best part of the show definitely centers on its ‘alive’ participants.
Congratulations to all three shows, but especially to Medium. Because Medium is the best.
