To the point

Time is running short for me to prepare for Cannes (haven’t even packed my suitcase up yet).

As for the TV world, FOX has picked up (no surprise there again) Lie to Me for a second season.
One major change though next season: The Shield/The Unit‘s Shawn Ryan is going to showrun the series’ second season.
Also, the network has picked up both Human Target and Sons of Tucson to series.

Nikki Finke meanwhile posted something that could potentially be one of NBC’s fall schedule.

MONDAY — TRAUMA, Heroes, Leno
TUESDAY — Biggest Loser, Law & Order: SVU, Leno
WEDNESDAY — Biggest Loser, PARENTHOOD, Leno
THURSDAY — 30 Rock, P&R, Office, COMMUNITY, Leno
FRIDAY — Chuck, Southland, Leno
SATURDAY — Re-runs
SUNDAY — Football
SUNDAY (January) — Dateline, Apprentice, MERCY

As usual, grain of salt.

Lent

Just as I’m finishing up installing again Windows 7, it’s already the end of the day, so time for me to post.

The details for Dollhouse‘s DVD have been released.
The DVD set will have the un-aired pilot as well as the un-aired finale.
I found that last Friday’s episode was good enough to serve as both a season and series finale in my mind, so I was happy to learn that this un-aired finale is more a “what if” than anything else.

In pilot news, Legally Mad is more than dead in the water, it’s just dead.
NBC passed on David E. Kelley’s show while getting out its checkbook to sign a seven-figure penalty to WB.

And since I have nothing more interesting to add today, I’ll just conclude with this Cyanide and Happiness comic strip:

Not much

No surprise over at ABC with the 13-episode pick-up of Flash Forward.

Dollhouse meanwhile ended its run with a new ratings low.
Dead show walking.

In other news I am myself preparing to got to Cannes next week.
The Screenings Guide was released the other day.

I’m not sure yet what movies I’ll be able to see though…
Inglourious Basterds?
Antichrist?
Drag Me to Hell?
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus?

More on this Cannes story later this week.

Not much else to add today so I’ll just leave you with nothing else.
