Enjoy.
November 2008
We’ve had our fair share of strange events throughout 2008 but next year is gonna open with some crazier choices.
Case in point: NBC announced the other day its January schedule, as in only January, not mid-season schedule.
Life, Chuck and Heroes won’t be back in January.
They will probably premiere around mid-February for a continuous run without repeats similar to Lost’s.
Kings is still unanounced.
Without much surprise, My Own Worst Enemy, Lipstick Jungle and Crusoe won’t be back at all.
Wondering what’s replacing those shows?
Two words: Howdie & Dancing.
Meaning a hidden-camera show hosted by Howdie Mandel and another, again, dancing competition.
Oh and there’s the usual L&O repeats.
FNL’s season 3 is on Fridays but chances are if you’re a fan, you’ve already seen it.
SNL will try to re-create the Election magic but with sports, bringing Saturday Night Live Sports Extra to NBC’s Sundays.
They’ll also try to revive Saturday Night Live Film Festival.
Is SNL Fashion Edition next?
God I hope not.
Meanwhile, Crap Rider will be back in Jan., still showing on Wednesdays.
Prepare to be bored to death in January on NBC.
Can someone explain to me what is up with the Twilight phenomenon?
At least with Harry Potter, I knew about the books years before the first movie came out. Not so with Twilight. It was only when I found out about the movie that I found out about the book.
And that was less than a year ago, thanks to EW.com.
Or should I say EtWilight.com?
The amount of Twilight articles posted every single day on that site! Wow.
I still don’t get what all the fuss is about.
The book as far as I know is far from selling as well as HP did before its movie adaptations.
Yet MovieTickets.com reported that Twilight had sold more tickets on its site earlier this week than Bolt, Quantum of Solace, Australia, and Milk combined!
It’s like with High School Musical 1.
Why was it one of the most-watched TV movies ever at the time?
The everlasting mysteries of teenage girls’ favorite things eva’.
Or is that tweens now?
And I’m off.
Gonna go throw up.
