The small game

The Super Bowl Office was kind of a letdown.
On the one hand there was some hilarious stuff, but on the other hand, most of it was way out there (like the fire stuff) and I really didn’t see the point of the Jack Black stuff. That was actually quite lame I thought.

There also seem to be a drought of interesting ads these days.

The only one worth it was probably that Hulu one.

Pixar didn’t bother to make a new Up trailer, and the Monsters VS Aliens clip shown was basically the one that was leaked months ago.

Finally, some breaking news: Nestor Carbonell is not wearing any eyeliner!

At the TV Critics Association press tour, some reporters asked if you wore eyeliner, which Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse denied. What do you think of this?

Carbonell: My brother sent me this link about the TCA, where you guys were at. Someone had asked about whether I was wearing eyeliner. I think Carlton came to my defense, and he said, “He’s 100 percent sans makeup” or something like that. I could see why some people would think I have eyeliner on because [my eyelashes] are dark. Especially the bottom row, they’re pretty dark. I’ve been dealing with it since I was a little kid, and so to me it’s very funny when it comes up, especially at TCA. My brother told me to look online and sort of Google something about that, and my name came up as a couple things. One of them was Maybelline Man. I’ve been dubbed by some people as Guyliner. It’s very amusing.

Read the full interview over at SciFi Wire.

UPDATE: TNT has just ordered a 15-episode second season for Leverage.

UPDATE 2: The Amy Poehler show will finally be named Parks and Recreation.

Three men and a show

Simon Beaufoy, who will probably win the Oscar for his Slumdog Millionaire script, is set to write a romcom for Spyglass entitled Leap Year and starring Amy Adams.

Bill Campbell is set to star in NBC’s Lost in the 80s, a show centering on the Mobley family, a family of six.

In Joss Whedon/Dollhouse news, Joel Keller has posted an interview he had with the Man about Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible, and the future of media.
According to Whedon, we might see the return of Dr. Horrible (although not in the way you might think):

We are dancing around that concept. We all want to do it. We all are extremely occupied—we have other jobs. And we’re kind of trying to figure out the philosophy as well. How do we want to present it? We don’t necessarily want to do exactly what we did, part two. We’d like to shift the paradigm a little bit. But we’re sort of keeping everything open. We have a concept, and when these writers have time to really sit down with it, we’re going to see what we’ve got. It’s definitely our intention for Dr. Horrible to rise again.

The interview was put on The Daily Beast.

Eighty(ish)

A couple of pilot picks today.

The 80s miniseries V is about to be rethought as a series for ABC.
The pilot was written on spec by Scott Peters and will focus on a female Homeland Security agent.

Yet again another (kinda) remake with NBC’s Lost in the ’80s. The comedy is said to be an 80s version of The Wonder Years. Bob Brush wrote the script. Arrested Development‘s Mitch Hurwitz will exec.

Some funny news also today: Hilary Duff will play Bonnie in a new adaptation of the Bonnie & Clyde story.
