Gladiators Fail to Slay Competition
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Editorial,
American Gladiators won big ratings and big press during the writer’s strike, prompting NBC to immediately sign the series for another season, cast new gladiators and create bigger, better events for a triumphant second season return. The season kicked off last night…but was it as victorious as NBC hoped?
Ratings-wise, American Gladiators is already going the way of other NBC shows (to third or last place). FOX’s House led the night, while the Gladiators raked in only about 4.9 million watchers.
The season premiered with bigger obstacles, more competitors and a bevy of new Gladiators, all in hopes that this could be the show to secure NBC a first-place ratings slot. For those of you who didn’t watch it, I did.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Upcoming Releases,
Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker made their Sexy stroll down the red carpet for the first premiere of their Sex and the City movie in London. The movie will celebrate two more premieres before it comes to theaters May 30.
As thousands of moviegoers screamed “We want Sarah!”, the ladies made their entrance. One BBC reporter cried to American journalists that it was “the biggest turnout to a red carpet premiere anyone has ever seen!”
SJP wore a strapless green gown designed by Alexander McQueen, topped off with a floral motif cap designed by England’s Philip Treacy. Kim Cattrall, sporting an upswept ‘do, wore a red Vivienne Westwood dress, while Kristin Davis was highly formal in Guy Laroche. Cynthia Nixon was daring in a glittering black gown.
As to the movie, that remains under wraps until the world premiere (still scheduled for May 30).

Three-Stop Premiere for SATC Movie
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Comedy, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
The much-anticipated Sex and the City movie will make its first premiere on May 12 in London’s Leichester Square. May 15 will see the flick in Berlin for another premiere. Then, after all the Sexy secrets are spilled, it will finally make its way home to New York for a premiere party on known territory (May 27).
Sex movie talk centers around the mysterious death, a plot point “leaked” by Cynthia Nixon in a recent interview. Other possible plot points have been bantered around by entertainment shows. I’ve seen the clips, and Cynthia Nixon looks great in the movie. But who’s destined to leave the franchise for ever? Let’s look at the possible candidates.

SATC Scoop: Set Secret Spills
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
The May 12 premiere of the Sex and the City movie is still up in air, though it is said the film will certainly not make its debut at Cannes. Right now, insiders are hinting toward London, though it’s still not altogether impossible the movie will premiere in New York. The press junket is scheduled to begin in New York May 2, and rumor suggests Sex may premiere in London and New York.
As to the soundtrack, current gossip says that Fergie and Jennifer Hudson (who will play Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the film) will both record new tunes. But the real Sex scoop was released by Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a. Miranda Hobbs. This certain redhead let it slip on April 15 that “a character dies in the movie.” Enter panic mode now.

Tuesday Night Treats: Hell’s Kitchen Premiere
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Hell’s Kitchen, Editorial,
As Idol ended and Hell’s Kitchen began, I realized that Tuesday night just became my favorite evening for TV. Two saucy Brits, two great hours of entertainment. With Gordon Ramsay now following Simon Cowell, we have just been treated to one of the better programming ploys FOX has ever tried. But was the Hell’s Kitchen premiere worth all the hype?
FOX promised viewers, during another American Idol commercial break, that the first ten minutes of Hell’s Kitchen would be a can’t-miss event. I think that might have been a little strong, considering much of the first few minutes of the show were swamped by clips of Gordon Ramsay screaming at contestants from last season and this upcoming season. Don’t get me wrong - I love listening to Ramsay scream, but you’re not going to blow my mind with two minutes of edited promo footage. Finally, it was time to get to the meat of the premiere.

Hell’s Kitchen: The First Fifteen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Hell’s Kitchen, Gossip,
For the fourth season of Hell’s Kitchen, the stakes are higher, the competition is tougher, and the big news of the season premiere is that world-class chef Gordon Ramsay will get literally sick when sampling one of the dishes.
This year’s competition features fifteen would-be chefs, instead of twelve, fresh blood that’s been added possibly because this year’s prize is the biggest one yet. The winner of Hell’s Kitchen this season won’t get to go work in any high-class restaurant…they’ll be going to work in one of Ramsay’s own high-class restaurants. So, who are these lucky (or not so lucky) cooks?

Shining ‘Moment’ for FOX
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Ratings,
Wednesday night saw the arrival of the show I’ve been anticipating most: The Moment of Truth on FOX. Wisely, the network premiered this new game show right after number one American Idol. Scoring 23.2 million viewers, it’s safe to say the show was a success. (It’s the biggest ratings for any premiere this season.) Meanwhile, Idol won 26.8 million viewers, far outpacing NBC’s Deal or No Deal and Mandel’s million-dollar mission. For weeks, Moment has been getting quality promos and a lot of ad time, so it’s no surprise the ratings followed. But…how good is the show, really?

Number One ‘American Idol’ Stands Alone
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Ratings,
Solidifying its reputation as the number one show in the U.S., American Idol’s seventh season premiered last night to a staggering 33.24 million viewers. How did the other networks fare in the face of such stiff competition? Well, if you take all the viewers on all the other networks and add them together, you might get close to the numbers FOX pulled down with just one episode of their reality hit. And it’s not over yet - Idol will return twice a week for the next few months.

‘Lost’ Comes to ABC Thursdays
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Lost, Announcements,
Good news, Lost fans. ABC has finally announced the show’s 2008 premiere date: Thursday, Jan. 31st.
That’s right. Thursday. The series will finally be moving to a plum day of the week. Granted, a few other programs will be going into repeats by that time —- but I have a feeling the producers won’t be complaining about a hand-me-down time slot.
Lost will air in Grey’s Anatomy’s former 9pm shift. It’s January debut will then be followed by ABC’s mid-season replacement, Eli Stone, @ 10pm.
