America’s Next Top Model 11: The Final Five
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model,
After weeks of lessons, runway shows and photo shoots, we finally got to “see” what the ladies of America’s Next Top Model were made of tonight. Followers of the show know what that means: it was time for the Final 5 to go on their go-sees.
Before heading out on their journeys, the models met with Frederick Koster, the managing director of Touché Models. After explaining the evaluation process - the girls would be judged on their portfolios, their walks, their appearance and their personalities - Koster gave the women maps and directions. The goal was to meet as many designers in the allotted 4 hours as possible. If they did not make it back to the agency on time, they would automatically be disqualified.

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 7 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
On Monday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, the battle amongst the final six really started to heat up. With the show’s comedienne out of the competition, the attention shifted to the program’s most important aspect: the dancing.
And while the celebrities should soon be doing two solos per night, the couples once again tackled a group number this week. But unlike previous ensemble performances, these team dances were actually scored on by the judges.

Tuesday Ratings: Noteworthy Numbers for Historic Evening
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Specials, ABC, Cable, CBS, NBC, News, Ratings,
Although CW decided to broadcast new episodes of 90210 and Privileged last night, we’re going to ignore that network for just this week.
While it would be hard for anyone to deny the significance of last night’s presidential election, how many people were actually tuned in? Here’s some of the highlights from yesterday’s political coverage:
- Approximately 71.5 million watched the events unfold over 14 different networks. That’s a 16% increase from 2000’s contest between George Bush and Al Gore (61.6 million) and a 21% increase over 2004’s battle between Bush and Kerry (59.2 million).
- Of the 71.5 million, 38.13 million saw Barack Obama become the President-elect via the four major networks.
- ABC‘s 13.1 million viewers bested the competition Monday. (That was the Alphabet network’s first win since 1996.) NBC had been holding the title since the 2000 election.
- CNN‘s 12.3 million actually beat CBS and NBC for 2nd place. That was the cable channel’s largest audience in its 28-year-history. That number almost doubled what the network saw in 2004.
(You can review last Tuesday’s ratings here.)

Is Grey’s Anatomy Abandoning Its Gay Storylines?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip, News,
It looks like Dr. Hahn won’t be seeing much more than leaves on Grey’s Anatomy after this week. Despite the buildup to Erica’s moment of clarity with Callie last Thursday, actress Brooke Smith has been let go from the show. This shocking news comes just as Hahn’s relationship with Dr. Torres was reaching a new level.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Smith revealed that the announcement - delivered by Shonda Rhimes herself - was made last month. Ironically, Brooke was informed of her departure right after the “leaves” episode was filmed. Unfortunately, the reasoning being the casting decision has been raising a lot of speculation. (Even Patrick Dempsey seemed clueless on today’s episode of Ellen.)

Laugh at Poll Results with Comedy Central
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Reality, Cable, Daily Show, The, Gossip,
As part of the Indecision ‘08 political coverage which has been raging all year long, Comedy Central will pit its two most popular late-night hosts against each other in a poll results special scheduled to air Tuesday night.
MSNBC, CNN, FOX News and all major networks, as usual, will also be offering post-poll coverage (and perhaps announcing winners early, as they are wont to do). Comedy Central’s hour-long special will surely provide more laughs than other networks, and the comedy duo of Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert is destined to create plenty of hilarious moments.
We may want to cry over the results come tomorrow night, but Comedy Central will try to make us laugh instead…come what may.

FOX Changing Sunday Lineup
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, FOX, Cancellations, Gossip,
King of the Hill is reaching the end of its road on FOX, though the show has long been one of the anchors of its Sunday night, animated-series heavy lineup. Currently in its 13th season, final episodes of the series are expected to air next year.
Created by Beavis and Butthead mastermind Mike Judge, King details the life of Hank Hill, wife Peggy and son Bobby - and a cast of characters that represent the best and worst of Texas living. The Emmy-award winning show is likely being dropped for the new Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show, expected to air during the 2009 season.
American Dad, which runs after Family Guy at the bottom of the 9 pm hour, will be renewed for a fifth year on the network.

90210 to Explore Teen Pregnancy?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers,
UPDATE: If you’d like to find out the name of the potentially pregnant character, click here.
Rumor has it that story lines are going to get even more complex on 90210, The CW’s Beverly Hills spin-off.
According to gossip, an already-troubled character will have a new problem added to the mix: an unexpected baby. Insiders say the show will aim to deal with issues that both teens and adults can relate to, somewhat in the way the original used to tackle its subjects. One source even says the new episodes are “getting better.”
Since they promise to contain scenes with original BH cast members like Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth, I have no doubt this part of the rumor is the truth. As to the other stuff…we’ll just have to wait and see.
