Mark Wahlberg was on Late Night yesterday and Jimmy Fallon challenged him to a game of box hockey. Both men were fighters, but when it was time for one of them to finally score it was Marky Mark who hit the mark and for Fallon to fall on the floor. The NBC host was so exhausted from the game that he was out of breath while the singer/model/actor/producer wasn’t even bothered by the impromptu workout he got. I think after this Jimmy will consider doing some cardio so he isn’t left in complete exhaustion after a few minutes of pucking around.
Before Billy Idol was Hot in City by singing with himself, he was singing Valley of the Dolls with Generation X. If it wasn’t for his lips I never would’ve recognized the 23 year old singer performing in 1979.
Psych is a show that fans get psyched about, so USA found an interesting way to let them know that show will be back for a seventh season. Through out the day they dropped hints via pineapple puzzle on the Psych Facebook page to let the viewers there was a big announcement coming. Finally they revealed via video that the show was going to be back. In fact USA told the fans before they told the press and I hope it is a trend that continues. Sort of.
Now that we know if the show is back, I really hope they get the last Breakfast Club member to do the show. Actually screw that, I want a reunion of the whole cast on the show. Don’t you think that would be awesome? Maybe there is a case that happens in a school and they are all teaching there for some reason. How and why Ally Sheedy’s character would be there is up to the writers and they need to make it happen. Right???
Today is the day that ABC faced the press and one of the big questions is when will Cougar Town be back? Paul Lee who runs the network promised that show will be back. At this point he is thinking March, but it might be sooner. He promised the announcement will be in the next few weeks. And when the show has an air date they plan on launching it correctly. I hope one of the ways is to pay Bill Lawrence and Kevin Biegel back for self-promoting the show by bringing it to the fans around the United States. What the EPs of the show are doing is revolutionary and they should be honored for what they are doing. Shows are still on the air because of their fans and this is the only show that has ever given back to them by actually taking the time and money to meet them and feel like they are part of the process. Cougar Town has a fan base unlike any other and it is about time that the network realized it.
Now when it comes to the other shows, General Hospital’s future is just like the storyline where the character is in a coma and whether or not they will awake is what will happen when the actor signs or doesn’t sign the contract. In other words there is no decision on the show’s future. One show’s future Paul Lee is hopeful on is Grey’s Anatomy that is still awaiting to find out which actors will be back and which will not.
Two of the shows that got air dates today are Apt 23 that will replace Happy Endings on April 11th. Endings will have concluded its season the week earlier. Scandal is Shonda Rhimes latest show and it will air after her first show Grey’s Anatomy starting on April 5th. Private Practice will get a four week run after Dancing with the Stars on Tuesdays after Body of Proof finishes it season. Personally I would have had Scandal at 8p, then Grey’s and finished the night with Private Practice. What do I know, I just watch TV not program it.
