The Last Season for The L Word
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Showtime, Renewals,
Showtime has just announced that it will be giving fans of The L Word a sixth and final season.
The drama - one of the longest-running series on the cable channel - debuted back in January 2004. The show, which initially drew attention because of its cast of primarily lesbian characters, was not the first gay-themed program for Showtime. Queer as Folk had already made its debut in 2000. (Folk closed up shop after five rounds.)
The last eight episodes of the series are slated for air in early 2009. Meanwhile, the current season’s finale is scheduled for March 23.

Christian Siriano Has a Date with Posh Spice
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip, News,
Were any of you wondering about Victoria Beckham’s comments on Project Runway the other night? Would she really wear Christian Siriano‘s designs…or was she just paying him lip service?
Well, it seems Posh Spice was being totally sincere. Or, at the very least, she’s willing to talk to Siriano again. In an interview with People, the 21-year-old winner revealed that he already has appointment to see Beckham very soon.
“I’ll be seeing her next week, so I made her a few dresses. Hopefully she likes them, so we’ll see how it goes. After the filming, we chatted and she really said some amazing things. And it’s such an honor because she can wear any designer she wants.”

Ghost Hunters: Season Four Begins
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, Gossip,
Ghost Hunters International, the European version of SciFi Channel’s popular Ghost Hunters series, was an interesting diversion (and a very lucrative one for the channel), but I must admit I’ve been on pins and needles waiting for the “real” Ghost Hunters to start. Wednesday night, my wait will finally end
Jason, Grant, and the TAPS team are back on the hunt again, and the fourth season of the show will premiere March 5 at 9 pm. The team will trek out to Philadelphia to investigate Fort Mifflin and supposed paranormal happenings located within. Those TAPS members absent from the International episodes - including Steve and Tango - will finally be back on the small screen with more debunking, disproving, and possible ghost-finding. It all starts tonight!

MONDAY (3/3)
- The Royal Family (ABC, 8pm): Barbara Walters hosts a special that documents a year in the lives of the British royal family. Wow - they’re letting people get to know them better? That’s such a Diana move.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 8pm): “In the two-hour finale, John and Derek are at odds over whether Cameron can be trusted.” Meanwhile, I’m still trying to figure out whether I’ll miss the show.
- Welcome to the Captain (CBS, 8:30): “Marty gets Josh an interview with the president of Paramount.” At least one of them will have a job when the show’s cancelled.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS, 9:30): “Matthew goes to therapy to discuss intimacy issues and learns he is too dependent on his sister.” Did anyone else shudder when they read that sentence?

Quarterlife Already Yanked from NBC Schedule
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Bravo, Cable, NBC, Cancellations, Internet, News, Ratings,
Question: What dubious honor do Anchorwoman and quarterlife have in common? Answer: They’re both one-and-out shows.
After just one airing, NBC has already decided to pull the plug on its experimental project. (Apparently the network wasn’t feeling quite daring anymore.) Quarterlife - a project created by My So-Called Life‘s Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick - was an internet hit long before it hit the boob tube this week. The Peacock execs, thinking the series’ built-in popularity would bring insta-ratings, gave the show a special debut earlier this week with plans to have it regularly air on Sunday nights. Unfortunately, the idea was far too ambitious for its fickle viewers.
The show’s premiere gave NBC its lowest ratings in the Tuesday 10pm slot in approximately 17 years. While I would usually chide a network for giving up so easily, in this case, I can’t say I blame them. If the program couldn’t succeed in SVU‘s regular time slot, where would it?
Those still interested in watching quarterlife play out can either find it on the web or on its new home - Bravo (NBC’s sister station).

Sullied TV Bounty Hunter To Get Second Chance on A&E?
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, News,
Cats may not be the only animals with 9 lives. It appears dogs get second chances too. At least that is what TMZ is reporting about sullied TV bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman.
An A&E network official confirmed to TMZ that his hugely popular reality show will be going back into production as soon as possible in Hawaii. TMZ reports that supporting people like makeup artists and camera crews have been hired in preparation for the show.
Production of Dog The Bounty Hunter was suspended indefinitely last November after the National Enquirer got a hold of two audiotapes that featured Chapman on a racially-offensive tirade. On the tapes, the 55-year old Chapman is heard using the “N word” several times and demanding that his son break-up with his African American girlfriend or be fired from family bail bond business. A&E’s original decision to suspend production of the show came, in part, because of growing pressure from sponsors. No word if that part of the story has been resolved.

O.J. Simpson to Appear in Jail
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Spoilers,
No, not that jail. Well, sort of.
O.J. Simpson, who needs no introduction, smiled at Las Vegas officers when he was led into jail recently for a short stay. (Simpson was later released on bail). He talked about finding his golf swing and seemed disappointed he would now have to cancel a poker game scheduled at his residence, even joking with jailers as he took it all in stride. How do I know this? Because I’ve heard some of the teasers for Jail, a show on MyNetworkTV.
The reality show was being taped when Simpson was escorted into the Clark County Detention Center on January 11, and they hit the cable TV jackpot when the former footballer was brought in. One exec called Simpson’s stay “strange” and not what they “expected” at all.
The episode will air Tuesday, February 12 at 9pm.

- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 8pm): “Sarah meets a stranger (Brian Austin Green) who shares a similar past.” They were once both white rappers?
- Dance War (ABC, 8pm): “The touring company of ‘High School Musical’ performs.” The contestants, now left with inferiority complexes, are unable to go on.
- Flavor of Love (VH1, 9pm): Third season premiere. Is it a coincidence that a Flav-ex has since show up on Celebrity Rehab?
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): “The escape attempt is successful for some, if not all, of the escapees.” Apparently you can miss weeks of this show and not miss a thing.

The Idols: Now and Then
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Cable, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News,
American Idol is the only show on television which turns us all into music industry insiders. “He’s got some pitch problems,” you might say to a companion, or “Now, that was a poor song selection.” While Idol contestants audition before the judges, it’s really the viewing audience that’s offering the harshest criticisms. We’re carefully breaking down wardrobes, hairstyles, personality and sometimes singing too. But now that the Best of the Rest episode has aired, the hopefuls are on to Hollywood to display their talents for a much-hoped-for spot in the Final 24.
It’s a new season and today it’s all about the new faces and voices getting ready to grace the live Idol stage. But let’s not forget all those shining stars we rooted for in the past. Wondering what happened to that contestant from season three you adored and never saw again? Want to know how to find the singers who didn’t nab the most votes, but managed to nab your affections? Former Idol contestant (and media darling) Sanjaya Malakar will be hosting Idol Stars: Where Are They Now? on the TV Guide network. It airs Feb. 24 at 8 pm EST, but don’t worry, TV Guide has a bad habit of repeating all their programming until you’re quite sick of it. You’ll have tons of chances to watch.
