What Tony Soprano yelled at the end of last week's episode:
From Tom Shales on TVweek.com:
"Thanks to those who commented, even those who did it insultingly, but this blog was correct in its original report: Tony Soprano shouted “I GET IT” and not “I DID IT” at the end of last week’s Sopranos episode.
An HBO spokesman confirmed it from the script.
I may have been wrong in interpreting the remark though. I thought Tony had experienced a life-changing epiphany that was going to impact on all the remaining episodes. The HBO executive thinks that Tony was in effect speaking posthumously to Christopher, the nephew he killed in the opening scene, and that “I get it” means Tony now understands the tremendous pull of mind-altering drugs that was essentially Christopher’s undoing.
Argue about that all you want. "

From this morning’s NY Post.
May 17, 2007 -- TEJ Herring, the longtime publicist for wacko comic Andy Dick, quit yesterday, less than an hour before Dick was to appear on the CW11 "Morning News" and then be feted at a roast on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio show. Dick was a no-show for the Ch. 11 gig. Then, reports The Post's Don Kaplan, as dozens of comedians began to gather in Stern's studio for the roast, producer Gary Dell'Abate had to send an intern and a Town Car to extract Dick from his hotel room. Dell'Abate told Stern about the mess just as the show was starting. "The e-mail came in five minutes ago and [Herring] had resigned five minutes before that," he told Stern, adding that Dick had "canceled [on CW11] at the last second . . . the people at CW11 hate him." At the roast, Dick was crucified by the likes of Artie Lange, Greg Fitzsimmons, Dave Attell and Lisa Lampanelli, who joked, "People are surprised when they hear that Andy has kids, because the kids don't admit it. To avoid embarrassment, they tell people that their father is Alec Baldwin."

To continue NBC's plan to copy what works - they have taken the theme of Heroes and applied it to three new shows. "Ordinary people with extraordinary powers."
The Bionic Woman (after an accident a woman is given bionic parts, Journeyman a San Francisco journalist all of a sudden can travel through time - which is good that he's a journalist living in SF, since they usually are on strike.
And Chuck, a nerd is secretly an spy.
Here's a preview from TVguy88:

Here's a preview from TVguy88:
The new Bionic Woman Looks so cool!
here's a clip of the Bionic woman's ep. They acts like his show is best thing since fire. It's not the Wire, it's a remake of a cheesy show that we all love. what a snore. We get it, you've changed TV.
Here's a guy who does a webcast about entertainment. Do I sound this lame? If the answer is yes, I'm sorry.
I know people that being off the cuff is the way to go - always funnier and not corporate or something, but it gives you a chance to think about what you are saying. Maybe even come up with something better.
But who am I?
A day without Orange juice.

ABC's Fall Schedule 2007
From the ABC press release...
DAY TIME SERIES
MONDAY:
8:00 p.m. “Dancing with the Stars”
9:30 p.m. “Sam I Am” (new comedy series)
10:00 p.m. “The Bachelor”
TUESDAY:
8:00 p.m. “Cavemen” (new comedy series)
8:30 p.m. “Carpoolers” (new comedy series)
9:00 p.m. “Dancing with the Stars the Results Show”
10:00 p.m. “Boston Legal”
WEDNESDAY:
8:00 p.m. “Pushing Daisies” (new drama series)
9:00 p.m. “Private Practice” (new drama series)
10:00 p.m. “Dirty Sexy Money” (new drama series)
THURSDAY:
8:00 p.m. “Ugly Betty”
9:00 p.m. “Grey’s Anatomy”
10:00 p.m. “Big Shots” (new drama series)
FRIDAY:
8:00 p.m. “MEN IN TREES”
9:00 p.m. “Women’s Murder Club” (new drama series)
10:00 p.m. “20/20”
SATURDAY: 8:00 p.m. “Saturday Night College Football”
SUNDAY:
7:00 p.m. “America’s Funniest Home Videos”
8:00 p.m. “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”
9:00 p.m. “Desperate Housewives”
10:00 p.m. “Brothers & Sisters”
“Cashmere Mafia,” “Notes from the Underbelly” and “October Road” will premiere after “Dancing with the Stars” and “The Bachelor” conclude their fall seasons.
For full descriptions of the shows go to the ABC site. I can't do everything. I'm only one man.
First ABC should put “Notes from the Underbelly” and “October Road” back on the air right away. There's no reason to introduce a show and then make people wait for them. Why put on 40,000 new shows at once? Put “Notes from the Underbelly” on Tuesday at 8:30 so people have something they like and then premiere Carpoolers or Cavemen after Dancing with the Stars goes away.
Also I would put the family friendly Cavemen at 9:30 after "Dancing." Then put the star power of Christina Applegate to use and have it open up Tuesday night.
Same with “October Road.” Put that on at Wednesday at 8 before "Private Practice" and the drama. Why make a whole night of brand new shows? That's a lot of pressure.
It's great That ABC is putting on new shows on Friday. Last year it quickly became a night of second runs and news shows.
All in all, a pretty strong schedule.

Re-reporting the news:
CBS pilot pick ups...
According to Nikki Fink here are the shows pilots that CBS picked up...
CBS is picking up TWILIGHT, VIVA LAUGHLIN, SWINGTOWN, CANE (previously untitled Cynthia Cidre Project), BIG BANG THEORY, POWER OF 10 (unscripted). Unclear yet what's for fall or midseason.
What's up with the funny "I'm in Hell!"?

NBC's New Fall line up - from their website http://nbcumv.com/
NBC PRIMETIME SCHEDULE FOR FALL 2007-08
*New programs in CAPS
MONDAY
8-9 p.m. "Deal or No Deal"
9-10 p.m. "Heroes"
10-11 p.m. "JOURNEYMAN"- A newspaper reporter time travels to alter the past and fix things. Here's the pitch "It's Quantum Leap meets Early Edition." NBC must've figured the people who are watching Heroes will want another sci-fi type show.
TUESDAY
8-9 p.m. "The Biggest Loser"
9-10 p.m. "CHUCK" - a geeky super spy. The Pitch, "in real life he's a nerd, but he has a secret identity as a spy. You still don't get it? Here, read this Superman comic."
10-11 p.m. "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"
WEDNESDAY
8-9 p.m. "Deal or No Deal"
9-10 p.m. "BIONIC WOMAN"
10-11 p.m. "LIFE" - A cop was wrongly accused of a crime. Now he's out of jail and back on the force. First let's hope they don't do the cheesy TV thing and have his last name, "Life."
Scene from the pilot.
Cop 1: " Frig that. I ain't going into that shoot out with him!"
Officer Chad Life: "I didn't kill that kid. I was cleared of all charges. Don't you watch the News?"
Cop 1: "My bad. Let's go in."
What if there was a twist? Like he really did do it? Or the cop who did in on the force and trying to get Officer Chad Life killed?
THURSDAY
8-8:30 p.m. "My Name Is Earl"
8:30-9 p.m. "30 Rock"
9-9:30 p.m. "The Office"
9:30-10 p.m. "Scrubs"
10-11 p.m. "er"
They ordered 18 Scrubs and 30 hours of the Office with 5 of them 1 hours episodes. So it's cheaper/more profitable to producer a one hour Office than a half hour Scrubs.
So five times next season the Office will be an hour, not just feel like one.
Let's figure out how many episodes will be 30 minutes... 1/2x + 5(1) = 30
Finally a use for algebra!
FRIDAY
8-9 p.m. "1 vs 100"/"THE SINGING BEE"
9-10 p.m. "Las Vegas"
10-11 p.m. "Friday Night Lights"
This makes sense. Put the show with "Friday " in the title on Friday.
SATURDAY
8-9 p.m. "Dateline NBC"
9-11 p.m. Drama Series Encores
SUNDAY (Fall 2007)
7-8 p.m. "Football Night in America"
8-11 p.m. "NBC Sunday Night Football"
SUNDAY (January 2008)
7-8 p.m. "Dateline NBC"
8-9 p.m. "Law and Order"
9-10 p.m. "Medium"
10-11 p.m. "LIPSTICK JUNGLE"
Why is Law and Order at 8 PM on a Sunday, traditionally family TV night? Isn't the show about murder? In an effort to attract more family viewing they're adding The yellow shirt guy who left the Wiggles and Sonic the Hedgehog to the cast.
