Hola, adios

Looks like the Hulu/CBS peace treaty is not lasting very long.
Hulu pulled all of its videos from CBS’ TV.com last Tuesday after CBS failed to distribute on Hulu its shows and content from CBS, The CW or Showtime.
CBS is bitching about it saying that its in their right to stream Hulu vids on TV.com.
Fight! Fight! Fight!

Showtime’s half-hour Nurse Jackie by Liz Brixius, C.S.I.‘s Evan Dunsky & That ’70s Show‘s Linda Wallem, starring The Sopranos‘ Eddie Falco as a NYC E.R. Catholic nurse with a weakness for Adderall and Vicodin, has now a premiere date: June 8th.

The Butterfly Effect‘s Amy Smart is set to play Claudia McIntire from the ABC show I, Claudia, now renamed See Cate Run, revolving around a young prosecuting attorney that could one day become the president of the United States.

CBS’ Accidentally on Purpose will meanwhile star Dharma & Greg‘s Jenna Elfman as the San Fran movie critic getting pregnant after a fling with a younger man.

Sounds wonderful.

What is not wonderful however is that The Middleman has now been (at last) officially canceled.

Farewell. :(

You’ll be able to see the un-filmed (real) season finale on comic-book form though.

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.

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.

Fire! Sale.

Not much going on right now in the Industry.
Probably because everyone is either at Sundance or attending that other thing.

Mather Zickel, Annie Potts and Jack Thompson have been cast to star in Malcolm in the Middle‘s creator Linwood Boomer’s new CBS comedy pilot: The Karenskys.
The show is about Emily Atwood (played by Sasha Alexander) reuniting with her eccentric family (the Karenskys) after returning to her hometown due to her husband’s job relocating them.

Saturday nigt’s SNL was really poor I thought, save for one skit, the Gitmo fire sale.

Fire sale?

Reminds me of…
