NBC will never grow up with a live version of Peter Pan in December! |

Hot off the huge success of the live version of The Sound of Music last month, NBC‘s Chairman, Bob Greenblatt, announced yesterday at NBC’s TCA Winter Press Day that he will be following up with Peter Pan on December 4th.
TSoM’s producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who also worked on the film adaptations of Chicago and Hairspray, will be back producing the live musical. But other than that, we don’t know much more because they just recently made the decision to bring Tinkerbell back to life.
Although in a post-panel scrum, Greenblatt, did reveal one thing. The role has traditionally been played by women, in fact, Mary Martin played the title role for NBC back in 1960. When asked if Carrie Underwood might have a role in this production. He then went over the roles and the only one that suits her is Peter and he couldn’t think why she would to play that part. So a critic reminded him that a woman has played it in the past. To which he responded, “It is usually played by women, but that isn’t necessarily, always going to be the case. Hint, hint”
So who do you think should get to play Peter Pan? I will tell you one good thing, Greenblatt said that Justin Bieber is not on his list, so that should ease things for you because I know it did for me. Granted, he also joked that Miley Cyrus was in consideration for it during the panel. Since she is not a boy, I think we can rule her out too…for now.
The only casting I would suggest is that David Hasselhoff should play Captain Hook since he’s been doing it in The UK for a few years.

It’s Benson vs her worst case on SVU and Stevie Nicks is on AHS! |

Tonight at 9p on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) comes face to face again with William Lewis (Pablo Schreiber) in court and its like reliving her horrible nightmare when he kidnapped and tortured her all over again.
As much prep as they can give Liv, they still can’t prepare her for what she is about to go to. At first it seems like things will be semi-tame because Lewis has a lawyer; but when he fires her and decides to argue the case for himself things will be so much worse for everyone. He will cross-examine everyone to the point where they are about to crack. And as bad as it is for all of them, it will be so much worse when he confronts Benson on the stand.
The interaction between Hargitay and Lewis is so intense that you can feel it through the TV screens. If these two actors don’t get Emmy nominations for the work they have done together this season, then there is really something wrong with the academy. They take acting to a whole other level when they work together that you can’t help but be impacted by their portrayals of the situations given to them.
Now when it comes to will Lewis finally be convicted for one of the crimes that he has committed, you will just have to tune into this very powerful episode to find out.
Then at 10p switch the dials over to FX to watch Stevie Nicks make her debut on American Horror Story: Coven.
If you thought the last episode of AHS was crazy, it is tame compared to tonight’s deadly episode.
The episode picks up with Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) and Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) having tea and talking about what went down at her shop and having a truce between to the covens. Shortly after being welcomed in, Laveau goes to sleep and wakes up to her master, Papa (Lance Redderick), wanting to collect what she owes him. That item due is an innocent soul, so she steals a newborn baby from the hospital.
Meanwhile Fiona is prepping for the new Supreme and since she thinks it is Misty Day (Lily Rabe) she brings her a present. That gift is a fellow witch and Day’s idol, Stevie Nicks. The singer performs for her, gives her tips and a shawl that she has toured the world with. The last thing is something that she will hold very close to her.
While most people think that Day is the next Supreme, Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts) and Nan (Jamie Brewer) both think that they are the next in line for the job. By the end of the night at least one of the candidates will be dead.
Think you know? You don’t, so tune in to watch this shocking episode that sets things up for the season finale.

You say you want a Bret Michaels on Revolution |

Out of all the guest stars I could picture playing themselves on a show, Bret Michaels doing that on Revolution was not something I ever imagined. But that dream I didn’t know I was having, is turning into a reality because he will be playing himself on the post-apocalyptic drama on NBC later this season. All the press release says is that he will be playing Bret Michaels in the drama that takes place in the future. I can’t wait to see how they age him because they are going to have to put some years on the rocker. NBC also added that he will be performing an acoustic version of Poison’s hit Every Rose has It’s Thorn. Acoustic because, you know, there is no power on Revolution; so it is the only way he can perform the power ballad in a powerless time. As good as I am sure it will be, it can never top how Bill & Ted did it in Bogus Journey to enter heaven!
In other NBC news, Blacklist is the second new show from this season to get a second season pick up. The first was Fox’s Sleepy Hollow. Personally, I am surprised that NBC picked up the show before its Voiceless run next month. I mean, what if it totally bombs without its powerhouse of a lead-in? It won’t, but what if does?

NBC released a fan version of Do-Re-Mi to promote the live version of The Sound of Music that airs on December 5th. I hope the special is better than that because that was nice and all, but not acceptable to do during the classic musical.
What did you think of it?

Tonight’s Dad on Fox at 8p is something that most boys who collected comic books can understand. Eli (Seth Green) pretty much tells his dad (Peter Riegert) he loves his comic books more than him, so David unknowingly sells them.

You will just have to tune in to find out in this funny episode with one good dad and one very bad dad.
Over at NBC at 10p, Chicago Fire is a train wreck as in they are sent to help out one. Before we get to that call, the episode starts out with Chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) getting tested to see if he has lung cancer. By the end of the episode we will find out his diagnosis. We will also find out what his future is now that he said he is willing to step down from 51 in order to save the house. The train wreck I told you about will play in his decision.
Meanwhile, Kelly (Taylor Kinney) learns something shocking out about his dad (Treat Williams) and it will change their relationship. Talking about changed relationships, Casey (Jesse Specer) finds out that Heather is getting out of jail. Once she is reunited with her children, she tells him she has made a decision. Something that will change everything.
There will be a lot of changes for out firefighters tonight and there will be at least one person who will not be coming back. Tune in for this exciting and suspenseful episode to find out.
