Epicness

Bad news in my life today but let’s not dwell on that an speak about the good news regarding the TV world.

First, Firefly‘s Morena Baccarin is going to play the leader of the Visitors in ABC’s re-imagining of V, and X-Men/Ugly Betty‘s Rebecca Romijn is going to lead the Witches of Eastwick.

Breaking Bad‘s season 2 premiere had an astounding 1.7 million peeps watching, that is a 42% augmentation from last year’s average ratings.
Continue to watch this great show people!

Speaking of epicness, DirectTV/NBC’s Friday Night Light might not be renewed for another season… But two seasons!
That’s what Ausiello is saying anyways.
We’ll have to Wait & See as usual to believe it, but ods are looking good for the awesome football show.

And since it’s supposed to be Watchmen week over here or whatever, here is an amusing link that ponders on the idea of “what if X had directed Watchmen?”

I also forgot to post that news about Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach in the movie) co-starring on FOX’s Human Target. Also starring in the DC Comics-based show is non other than Pushing Daisies‘ Chi McBride.

Count me in.

Supplement

Looks like DVR numbers are pushing up FOX’s Friday slot with both Dollhouse and The Sarah Connor Chronicles showing strong boosts via the “Live+7” data.
Let’s see if FOX takes into account this (soon to be) major factor for the renewal process.

Not much of a surprise over at ABC with the cancellation of the U.S Life On Mars.

Also at ABC, the V remake has cast Party of Five‘s Scott Wolf as the show’s co-star.

CBS’ Washington Field pilot has in the meantime got itself a couple of actors with both Meet the Parents‘ Teri Polo and Third Watch‘s Eddie Cibrian on the show.

And last but not least we have HBO’s Entourage also bringing in fresh blood with The O.C.‘s Autumn Reeser and Still Standing‘s Jami Gertz joining the cast next season.

Up and Down the Ladder

The chase continues to find the next big show with the greatest cast.

Damages‘ Anastasia Griffith is cast in NBC pilot Trauma.
The pilot for another NBC show, Day One, will bring to the screen E.R.‘s David Lyons, 24‘s Carly Pope, Epic Movie‘s Adam Campbell and Sleeper Cell‘s Thekla Reuten.

Alias/In Treatment/Grey’s Anatomy‘s Melissa George is also now joining Lennie James and Jason Clarke in the still-untitled CBS drama about N.Y. attorneys and prosecutors.

Charmed‘s Alyssa Milano will be on another untitled drama, this time from ABC and Family Guy‘s Ricky Blitt, about a struggling writer, played by Brothers & Sisters‘ Eric Christian Olsen, torn between the love of his life and his BFF. Guess what, Milano will play the woman of dreams.

Continuing on ABC shows, Canned will have David Rosenthal as its show-runner, and Third Watch/24‘s Kim Raver is also set to star in Inside the Box.

Twin Peaks wannabe Happy Town brings in meanwhile other peeps with Angel/Dollhouse‘s Amy Acker, The Wire‘s Robert Wisdom, Gossip Girl‘s John Patrick Amedori and October Road’s Jay Paulson.

I may tune in for this one.
