dc20willsave Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm just amazed that people think NCIS is good. It's not a terrible show. It has some things going for it. It's one of the procedural shows that has a sense of continuity, both it and it's spin-off have some great actors on board, and occasionally, it feels like reality. Oh, and it has Abby. Seriously, how could you not love a face like that, expecially since she, along with Death in Sandman, are the archetypes of the perky goth trope.

Aaron Robinson Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I've heard Parks & Recreation improves tremendously in its second season. Once the second season hits DVD down here, I’ll check it out. Community is fantastic too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 CBS picked up two comedy pilots Friday. The first is from Rob Schneider and Lew Morton, whose writing and producing credits include Saturday Night Live, Futurama and NewsRadio. In the sitcom Schneider will play a confirmed bachelor who has just married into a tight-knit Mexican-American family. The actor is producing along with his brother John. The network's other pickup is Homegrown, from TV veterans Jeff and Jackie Filgo. The half-hour, multicamera comedy from Warner Bros. TV centers on four generations of a blue-collar Midwestern family living under the same roof. The Filgos have previously worked on That '70s Show and The New Adventures of Old Christine, in addition to penning the screenplay to Diary of a Wimpy Kid. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/live-feed/cbs-picks-rob-schneider-pilot-96923?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thr%2Ftelevision+%28The+Hollywood+Reporter+-+Television%29 If Rob Schneider's series isn't called "You Can Do It", then he's an idiot.

JackFetch Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 J.J. Abrams has another project in works for fall: CBS just greenlit his pilot Person of Interest, an hour-long drama being developed by Abrams and Dark Knight co-writer Jonah Nolan (as in, brother of Christopher). Though details are, naturally for any Abrams project, tough to come by, we’ve finally found this official one for Person of Interest: An ex-CIA hitman and a scientist team up to prevent crimes before they happen. Huh… Person of Interest is in addition to Abrams’ even more mysterious Alcatraz project and Pulp project. http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/02/09/j-j-abrams-jonah-nolan-2/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+entertainmentweekly%2Fausiellofiles+%28Entertainment+Weekly%2FEW.com%27s%3A+The+Ausiello+Files%29 I'm quickly losing faith in JJ Abrams.

The fan-favorite series airs Sundays (7:30-8:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Expect lots of hijinks from the Smiths this spring! Roger attempts to make Steve a "cool kid" by letting him drive other kids around in a tractor, but the plan quickly backfires.

dc20willsave Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Two and Half Men Production Halted after Charlie Sheen's Rants The show won't go on – at least for now. CBS halted production of Two and a Half Men on Thursday after Charlie Sheen lambasted the show's creator in bizarre interviews. "Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season," says producer Warner Bros. Television and the network that broadcasts the program, CBS. The statement was released after Sheen, 45, went on profane, rambling rampages against Alcoholics Anonymous, party girls, his ex-wife, founding father Thomas Jefferson and Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre. In an open letter posted on TMZ.com Thursday evening, Sheen responded to the news that CBS halted production of his show, calling out Lorre, whom he again refers to as Haim Levine, specifically. "I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth," the letter reads. "I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words – imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists." Sheen concludes his letter with an open plea for his fans to support him. "I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade," he writes, "to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong." Source Yeah, Sheen, I know Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe are successful and they can get away making insane comments since their films make money. Charlie, your big film was Hot Shots. You'd best watch your mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well Charlie, it looks like you'll have even more time to do interviews. Yes, following the turbulent events that led to the show being shut down for the rest of the season, Charlie Sheen has been fired from Two and a Half Men. The very brief press release from Warner Bros. Television, who produce the show for CBS, simply reads, "After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately." Pointedly, there is no mention of the show itself being over, and no doubt that is still a major point of discussion for Warner Bros. and CBS, considering the series is such a huge, moneymaking hit. Update: You didn't really think Charlie Sheen would stay quiet on this for more than a few minutes, did you? Yep, Sheen has given a statement to TMZ (who else?), where he has a brand new name for Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre. It reads (are you ready?): "This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of their bazillions, never have to look at whatshisc*ck again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."

Venneh Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 ...I thought he was fired when they suspended the show for the rest of the season. Huh. Either way, I'll get the popcorn and watch the trainwreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I really don't see where he's done anything that breeches his contract and allows them to terminate him on any kind of behavior clause. If being wacky is grounds for firing, then no shows would ever get made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well, if his behavior is causing the show to not be able to run on schedule, then that's reason enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Plus if he has a morals clause in his thing, then yeah. Even without that, openly insulting most of the people on the production and demanding an insane raise to go back to doing the show would be grounds enough.

MaxPower Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 What's interesting is that they aren't using the disrupting production option and using some morales clause. Does their contract not include a disruption to production clause in it? If not, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 They said the reason was because he broke a behavior and morals clause by giving cocaine to other people. Really? That's what they are going with? The fat that he was never prosecuted for it means they have no cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
