NBC’s 2011/2012 TV Fall Lineup ['Chuck' 'SVU,' Why no 'Wonder Woman']

by on May 15, 2011

in Entertainment, television

NBC Universal logoNBC beat the other networks to the punch with their new 2011/2012 TV season lineup schedule announcement, TV Line has revealed.

They’ve (TV Line) also spent some quality time chatting about a few issues that folks might have had questions about, most notably, Chuck, Wonder Woman being dropped, and changes that might be taking place on Law & Order: SVU in the upcoming 2011/2012 TV season.

The notable changes:

Chuck

Chuck is moving to Fridays for its fifth season.  And this is slated to be their final season, with 13 ordered episodes.  But because they are headed into the fifth season, knowing it’s their last, they can approach the story line properly and leave the fans with closure.  (I’m thinking they’ve learned from the lumps and bruises they’ve taken when they cancelled shows like Vegas in mid-cliff-hanger and most recently, Stargate Universe on Syfy channel.)

There won’t be any more episodes ordered, unless, as NBC president Greenblatt said, they suddenly find themselves with 10 million viewers on Friday night, then they’d order more.  (Hint, hint… tell everyone you know fans!)

-

30 Rock will show up mid-season, along with Celebrity Apprentice & The Voice.

On NBC NOT picking up Wonder Woman

It was said by NBC President Bob Greenblatt that they needed to have the right take on Wonder Woman, in this genre, and he did not feel that the pilot did that.  Though he admitted that he wasn’t the best audience for the genre, in so making that decision.

A Cinema Static Suggestion on Wonder Woman:

Despite not picking up the series, I think they should set up the pilot as a stand-alone movie and air it… even if they shuttle it over to the Syfy channel.  It could not be any worse than some of the frighteningly poor quality knock-offs they run on Syfy and would probably make a great Saturday Night Original Movie.

Cinema Static on Brusimm logo

Today I’m splattering out news that I’ve collected all last week on some TV shows that we like here at Cinema Static on Brusimm.  The news includes bits from NCIS, Grey’s Anatomy (a warning),  Chuck (good news), Fringe (seriously?), Medium (not good news), The Event (stalled), Undercovers (bah bye) and mid-season announcement press releases from Fox and NBC.  In other words, there’s lots of tidbits of entertainment news for your consumption!

Let’s git on with it!

NCIS

-

Michael Weatherly in NCIS on CBS

If my math is right, then the paper shredding mystery by Director Vance is going to be answered this week and the Nov 23rd episode of NCIS will pay out big time.

So hang on to your hats and enjoy the episode of an incredible TV series.

Grey’s Anatomy

-

Patrick Dempsey in Grey's Anatomy

Folks, hang on to your hats with this one, but according to Michael Ausiello, despite being between gigs, keeps cranking out information via several sites and his own facebook account.  The man’s a lean, mean working machine!

Oh, got carried away.  Michael reported that there’s a rumor that Grey’s Anatomy is planning a musical episode for the second half of the season.

Would that make it Glee’s Anatomy?

TV Ratings For Oct 6 to 12th 2010 [DWTS, NCIS, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds]

by on October 13, 2010

in Entertainment, television

TV & Movie news & Opinion, weeding out the static

I used to track TV ratings for another organization and had let it by the wayside, but I thought I’d give it a swing and see what kind of list I could come up with because I was curious about a few shows that I watch…  And with that, I compiled a list and sorted it from most popular on down.  Wow, were there some surprises?  Not really.

Sunday Night Football on CBS takes the cake for the week of Wednesday, October 6th to Tuesday, October 12th with almost 21 million viewers.  (I’m not too focused on any specific demographic, just overall.)  Behind football is the reality TV show, Dancing With The Stars, which barely eeked out NCIS as they both pulled in 19 million viewers.  Later on down the list we have The Mentalist and Criminal Minds and such.

I’m a bit worried about CSI: Miami.  Stuffed behind football, it’s going to be a tough sell on a “school night” if it’s going to get jostled around from tentatively unstable football times.  Alex O’Loughlin’s medical drama, Three Rivers, never had a chance sitting behind football.  But CSIM has a strong following already.  Maybe it will do OK.  As far as I’m concerned, anything with over 6 million viewers is doing OK.  But the shows that I like are worrying me to some degree.

Fringe is sitting in the 60′s, sadly, it’s barely outperforming Chase.  OMG, despite Fringe actually having a pretty interesting story line going on this season, it feels fresher then it did last season.  Are we tired of X-Files-like shows?  The Vampire Diaries, though sitting in the 70′s, is kicking butt for The CW amongst that network’s shows. Smallville, in it’s tenth season, pulled in more than 2 million viewers.  But near the very bottom of the barrel of numbers, sits Stargate Universe and Caprica.

Ratings for 2010/2011 Fall Premieres – Who Should Be Worried?

TV & Movie news & Opinion, weeding out the static

The big week of season premieres for the 2010/2011 Fall TV season is pretty much in the books.  The week showed that some shows made their impression on viewers in the first week while other shows didn’t seem to have the best marketing or plot details to appeal to viewers.

I was curious so I started looking at the ratings of the 2010 season premieres.  We have some winners and we definitely have some losers.  Let’s see who might have to worry about having a job next week (season) and who may not.  Of course, the real tell will be the week-to-week ratings, not just a single night.

The best new show in the ratings that I’m covering here on this site, is Hawaii Five-0.  That’s awesome, though I’m worried that it may not stand out from most other police procedurals, regardless of the filming techniques.  (Hawaii Five-0 review).  The Defenders and The Event both did well enough though I am wondering if The Event will hold viewers, considering the complaints across the board about the excessive time jumping.  (The Event Review)

Disturbing Allegations About New Syfy TV Series [UPDATE]

by on August 1, 2010

in Entertainment, imdb, television

The SYFY CHANNEL

Syfy Channel has announced a new show called “Human Relations,” amongst other new shows, but this one is about an office situation where the office staff are aliens looking to destroy the Earth.

But one person has alluded to the idea that this premise for the new Syfy pilot is not their idea, but possibly, it’s alleged or alluded to, that the story is incredibly similar to their own premise for a TV series.

The movie in question that is allegedly the original source is called “Drone” and it comes from Amber Benson and Adam Busch.
