Thursdays are big, no question there, and this fall won’t be any different, though we will have to wait somewhat longer to see it in action. Still, with all the goods on that one single night, we might as well start to get ready and set our DVRs now…
First, a look at what’s to come…
* At 8.00 on The CW will return, maybe for the last time, creators-less Smallville, starting on September 18th; Ugly Betty will be back on ABC starting September 25th; on NBC the comedy night is back, with My Name Is Earl debuting its new season on September 25th with a one-hour episode
* At 8.30 NBC will introduce a new sitcom on its Thursday lineup, Kath & Kim, and something tells me that won’t be no Scrubs. The Australian import will makes its debut October 9th.
* At 9.00 the boys of Supernatural will be back on The CW, starting September 18th; on ABC the medical-soap Grey’s Anatomy will be back starting September 25th with a two-hour special; on NBC the hilarious The Office will be back September 25th with one hour-long episode as well; finally on CBS we’ll have the usual CSI coming back October 9th
* At 9.30 Tina Fey’s little comedy gem is back, though we will have to wait for 30 Rock as its season premiere won’t be on before October 30th
* At 10.00 on NBC it might be the last season of E.R. that will premiere on September 25th; on ABC we will have the UK import drama Life On Mars, having its series premiere on October 9th; and on CBS it will be another new UK imported series, Eleventh Hour, premiering on the same October 9th
* At 10.30 there’s another new series, FX launches a new sitcom from South Park writer Kenny Hotz, Testees, making its debut on October 9th
Seriously, I don’t like it, except maybe for the Pushing Daisies part it just looks (and sounds) pretty awful, that song is annoying as Hell to me, and is it me or is there some ongoing annoying sound all he way through, like the ship is drowning or something…
The ceremony airs tonight at 8.00 on Fox, but it has already been shot and the winners are already known. Of course, if you haven’t heard about it yet and wishes to stay in the dark until the show, for some reason, feel free to do so - I won’t post any results before the jump.
I’ll just remind you that as far as nominations went, despite what Nielsen may say Gossip Girl was a clear winner. If according to ratings the show isn’t a hit, it surely is when it comes to what teens actually love, never mind whether or not they can relate to the story as some recently complained about…
What to know if GG was the hit the TCA nominations announced it would be, or if Nielsen was right all along ? Wait to find out tonight on Fox, or just click right now to read the read of this post…
At this point we have the fall schedule and premiere dates for all the main networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW) so now the only thing that remains is for you to search for the information concerning the shows you love/are interested in.
To make things easier for everyone, I took back the complete new fall schedule compiled before premiere dates were known and updated it. You will find here the complete 2008 fall schedule day by day, with all shows on their slot with their premiere dates included. That way you can see how [insert day here] will be, try to see what you’ll watch and what you’ll have set on your DVR, and when things will be back.
And because sometimes you want to know things the other way around, know what will be on at a given time, I’ve also included the list of all premieres dates ordered by date. With all that, hopefully you should have all the information you need to get ready for next fall.
* Sure, she didn’t get a nomination for best comedy actress, but Sarah Silverman got one for her guest appearance on USA hit-comedy Monk. Not only that, but she also got another nomination, alongside Tony Barbieri, Wayne McClammy, Sal Iacono, and Dan Warner, for their little song “I’m Fucking Matt Damon!” The hilarious music video, in which she confessed to her then-still-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel she and Damon were having some fun, was a viral sensation back in the days, and Emmy voters did enjoy it as well it seems.
Silverman and her friends are up in the “Original Music and Lyrics” category, against songs “I Ain’t Got No Rhythm” for Disney Phineas And Ferb, “The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)” and “Inner City Pressure” both from HBO’s Flight Of The Conchords, and “Sad Fitty Cent” from Fox’s MADtv.
* If you’re a fan of ABC Family latest hit, Greek, you’ll be happy to know the sophomore season of the show is coming back to your screen with 10 brand new episodes on Tuesday, August 26 ! Meaning that the show will also move from its old Monday slot to a new one, Tuesdays at 9.00
There’s been much talk and then some about those nominations, as the top10 finalists lists have been made public, or find a way to the public eyes. But now speculations are over as the official nominees were announced by Patrick Harris and Kristen Chenoweth - both nominated by the way.
What to say ? Not many surprises, even with things that went wrong and the misses here and there. Not much love for The Wire, I think more was expected, but it’s a general trend : cable networks are kicking in with style (AMC, FX, etc) and HBO is really lacking some great hits nowadays. Sure, The Wire is still around, and Entourage hasn’t been forgotten despite being away for so long, plus the “experimental” In Treatment was noticed, but it’s not like they had a The Sopranos or Sex And The City anyways…
ABC just released their fall premiere dates, and if on some networks new episodes kick in as soon as early September, on ABC you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get your latest fix. Boston Legal is the first script series to come back, and that won’t happen until September 22 !!
Yep, that late. Could be worse though, imagine you were a fan of, say, Pushing Daisies or Dirty Sexy Money, then September won’t be easy on you, because they’re not returning to the air before October ! Though they do kick on on the first day of the month, if that’s any comfort… If you’re waiting for Samantha Who? or Eli Stone on the other hand, you don’t even get such comfort, as they will return respectively on October 6, and October 14 !
ABC new series are Opportunity Knocks, premiering on September 23; and Life On Mars, coming in much later, on October 9.
Interested in a full listing, followed by a complete listing of all shows premiere dates (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) ? It’s all after the jump !
Especially when those people are the ones responsible for her career going so well in the first place, and the Emmy she won one year ago. But all agree that Heigl did so because she feels she could become a movie star, based on the box-office success of her movies like Knocked Up or 27 Dresses, and she’d like to focus on the big screen. But she can’t, because she’s under contract with Grey’s Anatomy for a few more years.
Fall season is still month away, but if you’re a TVoholic if probably wonder which series will be a hit, and which will die before the end of the year ?
Of course no one really knows, but Horizon Media loves to speculate and, in their annual television report, go ahead and make their predictions. Sadly I haven’t read that report nor do I really know what they base their predictions on (did they saw the pilots for all series??), but let’s talk about it anyways, shall we?
Of course, the number one hit of next season goes to Fox, with J.J. Abrams’ Fringe. Now that an easy one, I think we can all agree on that one, it’s a no-brainer. According to Hollywood Reporter, HM predicts that the second highest-rated new show will be CBS’ Eleventh Hour.
I’m not really sure about that one. Of course, I haven’t seen the pilot, unlike Fringe, but it didn’t look that good/exciting to me, and one could also wonder whether or not it might sound a little to close to Fringe, people might compare the two shows, and in such a fight, if there can only be one, it will be Fringe.
Well, today we have even more Emmy talk to do, as the semi-finalists for Best Drama Actor and Best Drama Actress are out. Well, it’s not really official but sources are trusted. Some good choices have been made, but there are a few names missing as well, sadly.
I’m happy to see Bryan Cranston, terrific on Breaking Bad, or Gabriel Byrne, amazing on In Treatment, on the list, and of course it’s great to see Hugh Laurie (House) there, even though the Academy never bothered giving the guy an award so far. At least it helps a bit swallowing the absence of Robert Sean Leonard as Supporting Drama Actor.
However, I’m really sad not to see Damian Lewis on that list, not just because I feel Life was the greatest new show last season, but because he was delivering one Hell of a performance, in a pure terrific British tradition, as initiated by Hugh Laurie. And, really, Patrick Dempsey ?? Okay he’s McDreamy and all, but really?? James Spader ?? Oh come one people… Matthew Fox on Lost way also way better!
