Nothing has been signed or officially confirmed so far, but according to Michael Ausiello it’s almost a done deal : Marty McFly* Michael J. Fox will join the cast of FX’s hit-drama Rescue Me for a multi-episode arc on the upcoming fifth season of the show.
Nothing has been announced, though an FX spokesperson confirmed that Fox is circling the role, but insisting “no deal is done yet“. As Ausiello reports though, Fox and creator/executive producer/star Denis Leary are longtime friends, so there’s no reason to think this won’t be happening.
This will be the first major TV appearance from Michael J. Fox since a stint on Boston Legal back in 2006, and I can’t wait to see it ! Of course, “wait” is what we’ll all have to do, since due to the strike and other complications the show won’t be returning to the airwaves before March 2009 !
UPDATE: According to E! Online’s Kristin Dos Santos, Michael J. Fox is also currently in talks to reprise his role on NBC ABC’s Scrubs. Creator Bill Lawrence - also a friend of the actor, with whom he worked on Spin City, of course - has been talking to Michael J. Fox about reprising his role of Dr. Kevin Casey, last seen in 2004. Just how awesome does that all sound ?
* This being about TV, I could have used the name of Mike Flaherty, of course, but - at least to me - Michael J. Fox will always be, first, Marty McFly.

Shows: Rescue Me, Scrubs

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!

Recently I went over the shows that will be returning this summer, but one thing very obvious about that list was all those that were missing. Not that summer is usually a time a crowed as fall on TV land, but more than one name was missing.
Why? Because due to many things, mostly the writers’ strike though, quite a lot of shows will not be returning before September, while others won’t be seen before 2009 ! And, some might not even return at all… So if you were wondering about where the Entourage, Californication, The Shield and other Rescue Me (amongst others) were gone, here’s your chance to find out. Though again, you will have to go through summer without them.

The 12th Annual Satellite Awards, given out by the International Press Academy, took place this Sunday, and they got some right, and some wrong. Although, many times the nominees weren’t right, so there couldn’t have been a good choice anyway, it was too late.

Quickly, here’s what matters :
