TV News

Well, well, well... once again FOX has lowered the ax. Arrested Development will not be receiving a 22 episode order and Kitchen Confidential will end before it even had a chance to gain a following. It is a sad state when the most highly intelligent and entertaining comedy on television gets pulled. But hey, at least we still have Wife Swap and Supernanny...

Here is a promising show on the horizion, however, it will be on FOX. So I give it 3 episodes and the ax:

Terminator Headed for TV'The Sarah Connor Chronicles'
November 11, 2005
Variety is reporting that C2 Pictures, the company that produced Terminator 3, will produce a pilot based on the franchise titled The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The pilot will be made for Warner Bros. TV and will reportedly air on Fox. The storyline will take place between Terminators 2 and 3, when Sarah Connor is on the run with her earth-saving son.

There was a flurry of merchandise activity associated with the last film release (see "T3 Merchandise Goes Upscale"); a series will undoubtedly revive the franchise.
C2 is also working on a fourth feature film; the TV series will have a link to a new film trilogy.

Blade TV show update:

Blade Cast
For Spike
November 11, 2005
The cast is now set for the Blade series, based on the Marvel property, for Spike TV (see "Spike Orders 13 'Blade' Episodes"), according to Variety. Kirk "Sticky" Jones (Flight of the Phoenix) will star as the title character, joined by Jill Wagner, Neil Jackson, Nelson Lee, and Jessica Gower. The series will be directed by veteran TV director Peter O'Fallon (thirtysomething, Las Vegas, etc.).

Here's to you FOX! I guess a monkey really can run a corporation!
