Yesterday was full of anticlimactic "news" - Jimmy Fallon taking over "Late Night," "Scrubs" moving to ABC to finish out its run. But after the sun went down here in the east, that was lots of good stuff posted on the fall schedules, including widespread reports that "Reaper" has been given a 13-episode midseason order by CW. We won’t know for absolute sure until CBS and CW announce their deals on Wednesday, but it looks like a lock. And I don’t care if it came about because the writers strike screwed up the development season. I will watch "Reaper" tonight with a full heart.
ABC will announce its plans this morning. In the meantime…

Michael Rapaport ("War at Home," "My Name Is Earl") will play a fed on "Prison Break" (Hollywood Reporter).
Several sources say ABC has picked up "Life On Mars," an American remake of the Brit series about a cop who […]

Consensus has it that "Eli Stone" is coming back to ABC, though I can’t understand why. "October Road" is dead. Sources disagree on "Women’s Murder Club," though given the title…
CBS is expected to bring back "The Unit." Still no word on whether "Reaper" will be back on CW, which has gotta be thought of as bad news.
Zach Braff told fans on MySpace what has been the worst-kept secret in Hollywood - "Scrubs" is moving to ABC for its eighth season.
Producers are trying to get CBS to pick up Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton’s "Back to You," which was dropped by Fox. Here’s pix of Grammer at a "memorial" erected by fans over at Fox this morning. People are weird, no?

Ok, Ok, we all know "Scrubs" is moving to ABC next season, and tonight is its last episode on NBC. Contractual reasons - Hollywoodese for "honor among thieves" - prevents anyone from actually mentioning the ABC deal. But here’s a clip from tonight’s "fairy tale" finale, introduced by Zack Braff…

Excited about the SCRUBS season finale tomorrow night? I am. I can’t tell you that last time I was this excited about an episode of SCRUBS. Then again, it’s not every week that SCRUBS gives us their take on a classic fairytale a la ‘The Princess Bride.’
Tomorrow night’s season finale (8:30pm on […]

It’s Friday morning and I’m still feeling overwhelmed by last night’s TV extravaganza. There’s so much to discuss yet it’s sunny and beautiful outside. What to do, what to do? I know! Put together one long ass post that says nothing at all significant or insightful about any of the shows but still gets […]

Let’s see, a kickass "Survivor" - unless you prefer "Ugly Betty" or "My Name Is Earl" and "Scrubs" - followed by the first "The Office" since Jim showed us the engagement ring, followed by "30 Rock" - unless you prefer "Grey’s Anatomy" or "CSI" - followed by the return of "Lost." All new for the launch of May sweeps! And that’s not even mentioning "Without a Trace" or "Smallville" and the return of "Supernatural." Scripted television is back, baybee! On a night like this, that strike seems a distant memory. But we have a few hours to kill first. So here are a couple things to read…

Roger Friedman says Jimmy Fallon will take over for Conan when Conan takes over for Jay. (Fox News)
TV Squad says he’s talking through his hat. (TV Squad)
Friedman, by the way, also has some "Weeds" dish that fans won’t want to hear, way down […]

They swear it had nothing to do with the raging controversy over "MILF Island," the acronym that dare not speak its name, but NBC has moved "30 Rock" to 9:30 for the remainder of the season, after "The Office." NBC also switched "Scrubs" to 8:30. The official word, as read in the NY Times, is that they want "30 Rock" to get the biggest possible lead-in for its remaining three episodes, capitalizing on Tina Fey’s publicity for her movie "Baby Mama." And they say "30 Rock" will have to go back to 8:30 in the fall, anyway, to make room for the worst television idea of the century "Office" spinoff. Which once again suggests that if "Scrubs" airs in the fall, it will be on ABC another network, so why give it the phat "Office" lead-in now?
It’s not surprising that some people are upset about "MILF Island" appearing during the […]

No TV watching for me last night.  But that’s ok because GMMR reader Jordan watched for me.  Here’s her two cents on last night’s episode of SCRUBS.  Here you go….***************
There is just something about Zach Braff’s hair I dislike. Not sure why. I mean, he’s no McDreamy. I must say that the […]

The people over at Empire Magazine have published a list of what they identify as the 50 greatest TV shows of all time, or possibly just the first 50 TV shows their interns could name. You can’t please everyone with these lists, in fact starting arguments is part of the idea, and "great" couldn’t be more subjective, so I always cut these kinds of lists a little slack. This time, however, there is not enough slack in the world. I can’t even tell what Empire Magazine is trying to say with this list, except perhaps that popularity is more important than good writing and there was no good television before 1989 (unless it was British television, where we at least have "Black Adder," "Fawlty Towers" and "Doctor Who").
Sure, some of their picks are widely held as great television. They give a nod to the fantastic cult-classic "Arrested Development," and wisely […]
