The Flintstones ran for 6 years on ABC in the 60s. It spawned countless spin-offs, more TV specials than you can shake a stick at, five TV movies and two live-action flicks. Fox, et al. has acquired the television and film rights for the modern stone age family.

Is CBS Trying to Get Charlie Sheen Back?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip, Rumors,
We never thought we’d say this, but maybe Charlie Sheen really is winning. According to reporter Jeff Rossen, CBS has asked him to come back to Two and a Half Men.
Feel free to do a spit take now. Rossen says “discussions ongoing” and it’s “not a done deal.” And, he’s not the only one who’s reporting on the negotiations. Hollywoodlife found a “show insider” who says the rumors are true.
They might be, at that. CBS is in the business of making money, and Sheen is making it hand over fist with his sold-out comedy tour/stage thing. Recent rumors that Sheen has been talking to FOX about doing a show may have prompted the network to act.
Still, things could get a little sticky legally if CBS does want to make a deal. Charlie Sheen still has an active lawsuit, asking for a whopping $100 million, against Two and a Half Men studio Warner Bros.

Rob Lowe to Stay with ‘Parks,’ Won’t Join CBS for ‘Men’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, NBC, Gossip, Rumors,
Keep him on NBC, whatever it takes! The executive producer of Amy Poehler-powered Parks and Recreation has stepped forward to refute Internet rumor that Rob Lowe will take over for the recently-fired Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men.
And thank goodness. Lowe’s hilarious Parks character has made the show better than ever in season 3. Producer Michael Schur says there is “no truth” to the rumors whatsoever that Lowe will move from NBC over to CBS.
We hear they’re getting sued, anyway, so maybe it’s best to stay off the Warner Bros. lot for now.

Wonder Woman Reboot: On Again
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Gossip, Rumors,
One well-known TV writer is venturing where some of Hollywood's finest scriptwriters fear to pen.
David E. Kelley (whose credits include Ally McBeal, Boston Public and The Practice) is working on a new Wonder Woman script which will re-launch the franchise in TV.
Kelley has inked a deal with Warner Brothers to bring the superheroine to the small screen—and things look promising. Kelley has a lot of TV clout, a clever way to with dialogue and a string of successful series to his credit.
Wonder Woman was previously the subject of her own TV series in the late 1970s. Lynda Carter became known as the iconic Wonder Woman of that era.
Another series was attempted in the 1990s,this time with Deborah Joy LeVine penning the script (her work includes Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), but the project was scrapped during casting of the title character.

If you’ve found yourself without a plan on this Labor Day Weekend, there’s a new way to keep yourself busy online.
Earlier this week, viewers of the old WB were given a free way to watch some of their now-cancelled shows. At TheWB.com, fans can access programs just like they would on any other network-sponsored site. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville, Angel, Everwood, Roswell, One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls are amongst the selections offered.
Meanwhile, other shows that didn’t originate on the WB (but were produced by Warner Bros.) are also included on the site. That list is comprised of such titles as Friends, The O.C., Veronica Mars, Babylon 5 and Firefly.
Although the number of episodes are currently limited, fresh hours will be posted weekly.

Will There Be a Friends Movie?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip, News, Rumors,
Sex and the City broke box office records. Get Smart had a first place finish. Why shouldn’t there be a Friends movie?
According to UK’s Daily Mail, a big-screen adaptation of the NBC hit has finally been greenlighted. Although a reunion seemed extremely unlikely when the comedy ended in 2004, the success of SATC has apparently given the show’s main six hope.
And while Jennifer Aniston could definitely do without the paycheck, she is reportedly willing to play along. “Jennifer, Courteney and the rest of the cast are keen to reprise their roles, under the right circumstances,” said a source.
If the story is true, production on the Warner Bros. feature may begin within the next 18 months. Could I be more excited?

American Idol Reject Makes Good
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Think way, way back to the beginning of the seventh season of American Idol. During Hollywood Week, two singers struck such a strong chord in me that I was passionately rooting for them both to make it to the Top 24. The first was Kyle Ensley, the one I called the governor of Oklahoma and who Simon Cowell wanted to keep but who was kicked in favor of Colton Berry (who was one of the first of the Top 24 to be sent packing, proving that I was right in wanting to keep Kyle instead). The second standout I cheered valiantly for was young Josiah Leming. You may remember him as the sweet-faced kid who was tragically sleeping in his car.
Leming made the monumentally brave choice to sing without the band for his last Hollywood audition, a decision which ultimately led to his demise on the show. After Hollywood, Josiah Leming returned to his parents’ home in Tennessee. But he did not stay there for very long.
