My Name is Earl May Find Life at TBS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Cable, NBC, My Name Is Earl, Rumors,
UPDATE: EW is reporting that Earl is gone for good.
If at first you don’t succeed (on NBC), try, try again (elsewhere).
Despite receiving a cancellation notice, Medium was revived by rival network CBS last month. The move - which will place the Patricia Arquette show right after Ghost Whisperer - is being considered a win for the program.
Now it’s looking like another NBC series might be given a second chance. According to sources, TBS is in early talks to pick up My Name is Earl. (The comedy was dumped by the Peacock after four seasons and five Emmys.) If all goes well, fans could possibly find 13 new episodes of the series on the cable network.
Reruns of Earl currently air on TBS.

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
Meet the Browns Retooled for Television
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, News,
Tyler Perry has just hit the trifecta.
Meet the Browns, the 2008 movie that originated as a play, is now being reworked as a series for TBS.
In the comedy, David Mann and Tamela J. Mann (a real-life couple) will both reprise the characters they played on the big-screen. Although the spinoff’s concept is still be worked out, the show will revolve around a number of residents in a boarding house. The old home was something that was inherited by David (Leroy Brown) from his father.
This isn’t the first time the writer/producer/director/actor has worked on something for the small screen. In 2006, TBS ordered 10 episodes of House of Payne for its network. When the show proved successful, another 90-episode order was made. This is the strategy that will once again be implemented for Browns. If things go well with the program’s run in January, another 90 could start airing as soon as next summer.
In the meantime, Perry’s next project, The Family That Preys, will hit theaters on September 12.

TBS Makes a Hit…or Mistake?
Get Smart. Indiana Jones. Re-making old classics is the latest trend on movies…so why can’t the same technique be applied to TV? I’ll admit - I’m a huge game show fan. Any game, any time, I play along and I usually do quite well. True TV game-players know where the best action can be found: GSN. But in this age of old-is-new, where past ideas are suddenly no longer passé, the classics come alive. In this case, it’s Match Game.
A show with a long history that just got a little bit longer. Match Game originally hit the air in 1962 on NBC, running for seven seasons before cancellation. This is not the most famous version of the show. Match Game didn’t hit its real stride until it found a home on CBS in 1973. The episodes have resulted in some of the most popular programming GSN has ever ran, and for good reason.
I can summon this up for you in just two words: Richard Dawson.
