At the end of Monday’s season finale of Chuck we got a glimpse of Jeffster’s music video for Blaze of Glory and finally after days of waiting The Watcher posted the full video!!! Although show creator Josh Schwartz told Michael Ausiello, “It’s the worst music video of all time,” I loved it! Seriously why can’t Jeffster get their own show on NBC? Now that they are on the run because Buy More went up in a Blaze of Glory, why can’t they do a sitcom about their travels while they run from the cops, singing a song each week to earn some cash and they can end each episode with them eating at Subway! Sounds like a great show to me. Plus it will star the absolutely awwwdorable Vik Sahay, who does not get enough camera time on Chuck. Who doesn’t love Lester?
NBC has cancelled Law & Order one season short of breaking Gunsmoke’s 20 season record according. The show that launched 4 spinoffs will be signing off after being on TV for 20 years. But before you fans of Law & Order get too upset, the death of Law & Order gives way to birth of Law & Order: Los Angeles because G-d forbid NBC only have one L&O on their air. The Live Feed got this statement from the father of the Law & Orders about the cancellations.
Since the May 24 finale has already been shot, the final episode won’t provide much closure to fans. Sources say NBC and Wolf plan to meet after the upfronts to discuss possible “closure opportunities” for the show, possibly having characters from “L&O” appear on the “Los Angeles” spinoff, or even having a two-hour wrap-up movie.
Hopefully NBC will give this long running show the goodbye it deserves.
UPDATE: NBC has also pulled the plug on Mercy according to The Live Feed. I liked this show, but the cancellation is not a surprise because of its declining ratings. Hopefully the end of Mercy means that Trauma will be back, but I highly doubt it.
Next week the networks are going to announce their fall lineups, but some of what shows are and are not returning is already being revealed. NBC renewed Chuck and ABC picked up V but cancelled FlashForward, Romantically Challenged, Better Off Ted and Romantically Challenged according to Michael Ausiello.
Thank you NBC for sticking with Chuck for at least another 13 episodes, now make me even happier and do the same for Heroes.
I am happy ABC is still a fan of V, I just wish they felt the same about FlashForward. Although it makes sense for FF to be a one season show.
UPDATE: Chuck’s show creator Josh Schwartz Tweeted this about the pick up, “Just got the official call: thank you Chuck fans for getting us a 4th season! Thrilled to keep working with amazing cast & crew.” Don’t forget to watch Chuck on NBC on this Monday at 8p the following one for the two hour season finale.
V’s EP Scott Rosebaum Tweeted this about his renewal, “Hey V fans. Thanks for all the support! Get ready for Season 2!” V’s first season finale airs this Tuesday at 8p.
Gwyneth Paltrow is going to be a panelist on NBC’s The Marriage Ref tonight at 10p and I feel bad for the poor couples and Greg Giraldo that have to listen to her nasally voice as she gives marriage advice. I would say the same for Jerry Seinfeld and Tom Papa, but for Jerry it helps the ratings of his show and for the host he is just a little less annoying than the Oscar winner.
BTW I have to wonder if Gwyneth only agreed to do the show if Jerry was part of the panel because he hasn’t been on the show since the first set of panelists. If Madonna could do it with Ricky Gervais and Larry David, the GOOP lady could do it with whoever they paired her with. But she thinks she is better than all of us.
One final note about The Marriage Ref, I really hope that NBC replaces Tom Papa in the fall because he is just awful. He acts like George Costanza, moves like Jack Benny and sounds like Jerry Seinfeld, that should be a good mixture but on him it is not.
Yesterday at the end of Celebrity Apprentice Holly Robinson Peete’s team won the challenge and raised almost $350,000 for her charity HollyRod Foundation. Because Sharon Osbourne’s team raised over $130,000 of the total, she didn’t want her to go home (even though no one was eliminated!) empty handed so she vowed to donate to Sharon’s charity Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program. Well after the West Coast show ended I saw that the 21 Jump Street star was still Tweeting, so I had to ask her how much she donated to her competitor and former-teammate’s charity and @hollyrpeete Tweeted me back this “50k!” Even though Holly comes off as a bitch on the show she really has a heart of gold and you have to respect her for staying true to her word and not keeping all the money. I can’t think of any other contestant who has done that in Celebrity Apprentice history and my hat is off to her. She has a fan in me for doing that and I hope she has done the same for you too!
BTW I also have to respect NBC for doing a special Get Well message to Bret Michaels after the show ended. I couldn’t find the video or I would’ve posted it, but it was really very nice.
Bret Michaels continues to need our prayers and here is the latest update that his manager Janna has posted on the Bret Michaels website:
Once again we can’t thank everyone enough for all the well wishes and prayers being sent Bret’s way!
As of now Bret remains in ICU under 24 hour surveillance. Further testing this week will help locate the source of the bleeding.
Look for an official medical report from doctors this week here at BretMichaels.com.
Please remember Bret is, and always has been, a fighter and survivor and is under the best medical care possible.
Thanks for your support!
You can watch the final 7 contestants of Celebrity Appentice battle it out Sunday on NBC at 9p when 1 or possibly 2 of them could go home after yesterday’s non-elimination…
UPDATE ON BRET MICHAELS: At the NBC Press Day, Sharon Osbourne was here to talk about America’s Got Talent and of course she was asked about Bret Michaels. She said that she has been friends with him for 30 years and devastated by the news. After the panel, she talked to the reporters that gathered around her that she knows what we knows. She then said, “It is just hideous. It makes you feel all these different feelings. Your heart goes out to his family. Your heart goes out to him. He is the nicest guy in the world. Then you start thinking of your own mortality. It makes you appreciate how lucky we all are. I am sad about Bret.”
Please continue praying for Bret that they find the leak ASAP and he begins the road to recovery.
