Gossip Girl Won’t Go to the Web

Fans beware. If you want to get your Gossip Girl fix, you better plan ahead. In hopes of creating more buzz for its popular freshman show, CW is going to make the drama’s five remaining episodes less available to the public.
Although the show has generated strong word of mouth during its debut season, network execs are still concerned about the cult hit’s bottom line. Yes - people are watching…but it’s how they’re watching that really matters. While streamlined videos allow Johnny-come-latelys to get caught up, that service detracts from the program’s daily numbers.

NBC Sticks With Their ‘Deal’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Games, Prime Time, NBC, Ratings,
Realizing Howie Mandel and his ladies are still a force to be reckoned with, NBC has chosen to stick with its ratings hit for a while longer. Deal or No Deal was originally scheduled for replacement next month; now its removal has been placed on hold.
Quarterlife, a drama about several twenty-somethings, had been in line to take the game show’s Monday slot on Feb. 12th. Now the program will be getting a a new home. Come March 2nd, the series taken straight from the web will air Sundays @ 9pm (this follows a special preview on Feb. 26th). This reshuffling will move the premieres of Monk and Psych on USA’s sister network to Sunday, April 6th.

‘Lost’ Returns to TV and Web
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Lost, Internet, News,
Fans stunned by last May’s Lost cliffhanger have been chompin’ at the bit waiting for a new season to begin. For their patience, they were promised an uninterrupted 16 weeks of episodes come 2008. Of course, the current writers strike had many wondering if their show’s status was in jeopardy.
Although some may fans may not like how ABC has decided to resolve this issue, others will probably be grateful they have something - anything - to look forward to at this point. The network could have opted to shelve their unfinished season (like FOX recently did with 24); they have instead chosen to air the finished eight episodes. In other words, viewers will get only half of what was originally promised. The good news? Co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof says the eighth episode does come with its own cliffhanger. The bad news? Lindelof admits the planned story arc may have to adjust accordingly.
So until Season Four kicks off sometime this February, fans will have mini-teasers to tide them over. ABC’s website will soon begin posting weekly vignettes featuring characters from the show. The episodes - each only a few minutes long - are separately shot videos that somehow belong into the much larger Lost puzzle. You can find the first ‘mobisode’ starting this Monday (November 12th).
