Because NBC already had revealed their 2008-09 primetime schedule a few weeks ago, they didn’t have their traditional Upfront presentation.  This year […]

It must be summer, because it’s time for an endless stream of "Heroes" casting news. Blonder-than-blonde Brea Grant of "Friday Night Lights" is the latest to join the increasingly mammoth cast, word is she’ll be playing a super-fast superhero who is described as the Joker to Hiro’s Batman. The new character’s name is Daphne, and she runs afoul of Hiro when she tries to rip off the Nakamura family.
"I’m stealing a secret that’s been kept in Hiro’s family for a long
time that he’s just now found," Brea Grant told The Associated Press
during a break in filming in
downtown Los Angeles. "He stops time right as I grab it, but in that
second it took him to grab it, I almost make it out of the office."
It’s going to be fun to see Hiro with an arch nemesis, especially a cute, female one. Daphne will be appearing in Season 3, which picks up […]

I wish you could all know just how much it saddens me to not have more time to properly write a review of last night’s amazing FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Paley Fest panel.  Sitting in the very front row, just inches away from the cast of my favorite drama was spectacular, and something I wish every […]

That sounds you hear is groaning from the fans of shows that are predicted to be heading for cancellation. We’ve already talked about "Jericho." Now the Hollywood Reporter says Lifetime has passed on the chance to pick up "Men In Trees" and "October Road" from corporate sister ABC, likely dooming "Road" and maybe "MIT" as well. Meanwhile, TV Decoder says don’t get your hopes up for the survival of Julianna Margulies’ drama "Canterbury’s Law" and "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman Palladino’s sitcom "The Return Of Jezebel James" (right). Both got what are technically referred to as "sucky" ratings over the last week. TV By The Numbers" says the same thing. The bright spot, according to the AP, is "Friday Night Lights," as the executive producer says he’s optimistic NBC will renew the beloved but ratings-challenged drama.

The small but enthusiastic cult of "Friday Night Lights" fan is whooping it up this morning, drinking keg beer and impregnating cheerleaders, as NBC has renewed the show for a third season. But Deadline Hollywood Daily reports the savior of the show is really satellite’s DirecTV, which stepped in as co-producer - Hollywoodese for "paid some of the bills" - in return for a satellite broadcast window that will come around the same time as NBC’s airings.
