So in other words, the CW is bringing back Charmed?

Most of the CW shows are generic, very forgettable nighttime soaps for teens that all share an unnecessary reliance on continuously running tepid pop music, with a few second rate supernatural-oriented shows tossed on. Also, second rate reality shows. Plus Tyra Banks.

Fox should learn from CW
Fox is learning from the CW: just make countless copies of their successful shows. They already almost have two full hours of McFarlane animation, will add X-Factor to their American Idol talent show, and then will have a coming Bones spin-off. Then all they need is a House spin-off, and…

I gave up on on SNL only a few episodes in this year because the writing has been so astonishingly horrible. I can only imagine the writers coming up with an even worse character for Wiig than Gilly, but I can't dumb down my imagination enough to figure out what that character would be.

ION is like a struggling corner grocery store in a poor neighborhood, shelves lined with dust-covered jars and cans of weird seemingly-inedible foods, bags of strange potato chips you've never seen anywhere else that you'd never eat, and disintegrating school supplies from 1985.

2001
I think the only way to watch 2001 is if you're lucky enough to see it on a big screen. It's an entirely different experience than on a small TV screen. I don't even own a copy on DVD because there's just no point.

The Paul Reiser Show: No Longer Mad About You.

So, how many episodes have there been now that are cloying, fawning, sappy goodbyes to Michael? The one about his movie, the one about his engagement to Holly and announcement that he's leaving, the one about D'Angelo's arrival, this one about the Dundees, and then next week's in which he actually leaves.

Animatronic Abe Lincoln
Hopefully they'll add Lincoln's other enemy that the book ignored, Animatronic Abe Lincoln, who history shows was nothing but trouble.

What about The Voice?
I can't believe that upcoming singing talent show The Voice and NBC's commercial rotation for it every five minutes, isn't on here. I don't even know where to begin with that.

Since Hollywood no longer has the studio system in place, that means no more exclusive contracts with stars, and no more expectations of public behavior combined with a solid PR myth-making/mystique machine.

Too bad Anne Ramsey is dead. She would have made a great Shemp.

Sitting Bull will have to be played by a white man to make him more palatable to the dumb 13-24 year old male American audience. Also he will have to be a really hot twentysomething to appeal to the tween set.

Blind Audition Singing Talent Show
He must also be responsible for that new "blind audition" singing talent show, which no one was asking for but with NBC keeps reminding us is coming, throughout every prime time show they broadcast, whether we like it or not.

Maybe because more frames will be used, that will be their excuse to charge more for admission.

So will Betty White play the love interest for Bieber in that upcoming Kutcher/Bieber film? Think of all the unfortunate death threats she'll get from the angry tween Bieber hordes.

Is this a threat?
My bet is that NBC is afraid that if they don't threaten the audience with potential nudity, no one will watch and keep watching, when this proves to be dull and pointless and free of actual sex, just like that recent Swingtown show.

Cars is clearly the only Pixar movie for little boys, which is probably why it's at the bottom of most people's lists.

Maybe this entire movie will be shot through some lame filter on an iPhone.
