Lifetime announced today that Drop Dead Diva will be back for a 13-episode fourth season. The news is not really a shocker, but what is a surprise is that waited until three days before the season finale to renew the show. They should’ve done it earlier.
And on that note what is Lifetime waiting for to announce that they are bring Dance Moms back for a season. They are probably as embarrassed to admit that they air the show, as we are to admit that we watch it. C’mon I am not the only one who loves this show, right?
Taylor Lautner has a strange effect on young women and now we can see that he has also infected Regis Philbin with whatever that mystery ailment is? At least I hope that is what is wrong with the Live with Regis and Kelly host because if not I would call in someone who specializes in the weird to cure of him of whatever caused him to pose like that.
BTW seeing a picture of The Reeg like this makes me even more sad his last show is coming up in less than two months.
Today is a day I wouldn’t want to be Simon Cowell because The X Factor came in third behind Modern Family and Criminal Minds according TV By Numbers. The news is great for scripted television, but sucks for the once popular Mr Nasty. In fact the news is excellent for sitcoms that two years ago some people were saying were on their death bed, hopefully this news means that singing competitions are on theirs.
It used to be singing/variety competitions were in the spring and summer, but Fox decided to make it a year round event and it isn’t working. I don’t know if it is as much the singing overload as much as all the overexposure of the show. The Voice did a better job with their marketing because we had to guess how the show was going to work, so the element of surprise made you want to watch it. Plus they got A-List musicians to coach on the show, while The X Factor got C Listed. I am averaging that out with Simon being a B List star.
Now back to Simon, I wonder if Fox can askSimon for their money back? Since they paid him much more than he is worth. I also wonder if Fox is thinking of moving the show to one day a week if it declines in the ratings tonight, which most new shows do after their debut.
Why do you think the show failed? Did you watch? Will you watch again? Do you miss Cheryl Cole?
While the news was very bad for The X Factor, it was the opposite for Revenge that had over 10 million people checking out their series premiere! In fact just 2 million less people watched the show than the revamped CSI in its new timeslot! ABC is happy because they had great numbers and it didn’t cost them anything near what Fox paid for Cowell’s ego.
Grey’s Anatomy is back on ABC at 9p and we get to find out the consequences of the season finale. As you can see in that above clip Meredith gets fired, but will she keep her baby and will she get McDreamy back or is their new real marriage be over? Did Christina Yang have the abortion and will her marriage be over too? Is Izzie back? One of those is definitely not going to happen.
Besides the soap opera aspects of the medical drama, there is a real medical emergency on the two-hour premiere. And that emergency reminds a lot of a House season finale, the one where they perform an amputation out in the field. And because of that I was not wowed by that aspect of the show. What did wow me was is the Mackenzie Astin is the man who asked to perform the amputation on his wife. It is nice to have him back on TV and he did a great job with that tough decision! I just wish they wrote an original idea for him to play out! I am thinking that Shonda Rimes is too busy coming up with shows for ABC, that I am assuming that she doesn’t have time to come with her original storylines for her show?
For months you have read who much TV critics hate Whitney and how bad the sitcom is; and tonight at 9:30p on NBC you get to see if we are right. Let’s just say I have had group get togethers and watched the show with people who didn’t believe me about how unfunny this show is and only one person semi liked it. Granted she didn’t like it because of the new (supposed) It Girl Whitney Cummings, but because she likes Chris D’Elia.
So having said all of that, is Whitney the worst show of the fall season? Nope, it is just the one that got the most buzz for being bad!
