Getting Into Character: Rose McGowan on Nip/Tuck
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FX, Nip/Tuck, Gossip, Spoilers,
Oh my, Katee Sackhoff—how you have changed.
Although the blonde Battlestar Galactica star originated the role of Dr. Teddy Rowe on Nip/Tuck, scheduling conflicts have a resulted in a new actress…and a new hair color.
When the FX program resumes next week, viewers will see Rose McGowan (Charmed) taking over Sackhoff’s anesthesiology duties. The new Teddy Rowe will be around to get Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) fired up for a handful of episodes.
Season 6 of Nip/Tuck debuts Wednesday, Oct. 14 @ 10:00.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: An Exclusive Season 4 DVD Clip
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, FX, DVD, Video,
Not yet ready for tonight’s premiere of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Then maybe this video will get you warmed up.
In this exclusive clip from the program’s Season 4 DVD package, Dennis Reynolds (actor Glenn Howerton) does his best Alistar Cooke to present a unique rendition of his steamy memoir. (I’m not entirely sure Masterpiece Theater ever looked like this.) This bonus feature from the three-disc set is a companion piece to last October’s episode: “Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life.”
Season 5 of Philadelphia airs Thursdays @ 10:00 on FX. You can also pick up Season 4 which was just released on DVD this week..

Rescue Me to End in 2011
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, FX, Cancellations, News, Renewals,
Some good news and bad news for followers of Rescue Me. The FX series about New York City firefighters has just been granted a 7th season. Unfortunately, that will also be the program’s last.
The timing of the show’s end has been carefully thought out. The final hours will air in 2011—the year we
commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
“Within the next couple of weeks, we’re going to begin shooting the last 19 episodes, which will be the final two seasons of the show,” co-creator and executive producer Peter Tolan said.
Rescue Me‘s current season will wrap on up on September 1.

Nip/Tuck Returns After A Year Away
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Nip/Tuck, Video,
Although the image of actress Sharon Gless (Colleen Rose) turning a Hollywood agent into a large Build-A-Bear is still fresh on my mind, it’s surprisingly been a year since Nip/Tuck was last on air. (The show was temporarily halted in February 2008 because of the writers’ strike.)
So where exactly did the series leave off? Julia was shot by Eden, Christian and Annie were involved in a car accident on their way to the hospital, Matt started sleeping with his half-sister and Sean was stabbed in the back (literally) by Colleen.
To get a clue as to what the remaining episodes of Season 5 have in store for us, check out the preview above. Nip/Tuck returns to FX this Tuesday, January 6th at 10:00.
FX Puts an End to The Riches
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Cancellations,
After enduring a ratings hit and a shortened second season, FX’s The Riches is officially being put to rest.
When the series originally debuted back in March 2007, it pulled in approximately 3.8 million viewers. Unfortunately, the Eddie Izzard/Minnie Driver drama saw a significant drop just one year later. Riches - already hurt by the writers strike - saw a 44% drop in the key 18-49 demo when Season Two kicked off in March 2008.
Fortunately for FX, this failed program won’t keep the network from celebrating. Just last month, Damages became one of the first two basic cable programs ever to be nominated for Best Drama. Meanwhile, the channel has already decided to renew Sons of Anarchy for a second season.

Shows Planning a Return in 2009
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Bravo, CBS, FX, HBO, Entourage, Renewals,
While it’s probably be safe to assume that Fringe and 90210 would both be handed 2009 renewal notices - especially since they’ve already been given full season orders - this television season is still far too young.
Here is, though, what we do know already about next year’s programming calendar:
- Big Brother (CBS) - Season 11
- Entourage (HBO) - Season 6
- Flashpoint (CBS) - Season 2
- Here Come the Newlyweds (ABC) - Season 2
- Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (Bravo) - Season 5
- My Boys (TBS) - Season 3
- Sons of Anarchy (FX) - Season 2
- True Blood (HBO) - Season 2
FX Announces Shield End Date
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, News,
When this year began, followers of The Shield were still uncertain when their FX series would return. Thankfully, they at least now know when it will end.
Although Season 6 debuted last April, the show’s seventh - and final - season was pushed back to Fall 2008. Surprisingly, the scheduling decision had nothing to do with the writers’ strike. The network simply didn’t want the program to compete with with the Summer Olympics. (As if they couldn’t have aired repeats for a whole two weeks.)
The Emmy-nominated series, which still has 13 more episodes in the vault, has now been given a November 25th end date. While that may seem like a short stint, the 3-month run is actually in line with the previous seasons. And from what I hear, these final hours will be something to remember.

Michael J. Fox to Rescue FX Fans
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, FX, Gossip,
He captured our hearts as ultra-Republican, straight-laced Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties…and then he broke our hearts when he announced he suffers from Parkinson’s. Michael J. Fox didn’t actually say he’d never act again…but he did make the possibility sound somewhat remote. So, it is a happy (and rare) event that he will soon appear in exactly four episodes of the FX hit Rescue Me.
According to the general manager and president of the network, Fox’s character will be “very funny” and “very original.” He will play a man who is confined to a wheelchair, the new boyfriend of Janet (played by Andrea Roth). His first appearance will air on the show’s fifth season premiere, slated for the spring of 2009.
Fox made the decision to retire from full time acting in 2000, after announcing two years before he was suffering from Parkinson’s disease, which causes muscular deterioration and tremors. He appeared in several episodes of Boston Legal in 2006 and has made a few television appearances since leaving the full time scene.
