Looks as though the rumors have been confirmed, Studio 60 on the sunset strip will not return for a second season.   The NBC fall line up was published this last week and the show was not included. The remainder of the shows episodes will play out this summer on Thursday nights.

It is disappointing that such a well written show has found its way to the garbage bin in just one short season.  Figures though, Americans are watching TV more and more for the reality of it.  A good story it seems is being lost to Dancing with the Homeless or my soon to be new favorite National Bingo Night.  Sorkin gave it his best shot with top notch writing and a cast most directors would give their first born to have. Good shows come and go, and this was one of the best. I am not giving up on TV just yet, there still a couple of shows worth my time.  I think Americas Top Model is still on.

You might remember earlier this year when the Motion Picture Academy made Youtube and others remove video clips of the 2007 Oscars from their websites.   I remember thinking, another huge mistake made by the top brass to protect something that needs not be protected.  Here were a bunch of people watching clips of the Oscars who would not normally watch.  Now, I can see how an argument could be made that the MPA is losing money on this internet video.  But come on these people didnt watch the boring four hour telecast to start.  Maybe, just maybe these people checking out a cool clip on Youtube will get them to tune in next year.  Better yet, to avoid this the MPA should have its site post the highlight video with ads on their site right after the Oscars.  Smart.

Here is yet another wise move by the MPA.  They are suing an Oscar fan site for essentially promoting the Oscars for free.  The MPA is mad that this once free fan site has got a couple of google ads to help pay bandwith bills.  I understand the battle that is taking place between the two sides.  I just wish old school media could pull its collective head out of the mud and realize things that are free can lead to the trees with money on them.

MPA unhappy. 

Some of you may know my old friend Daisy Gardner works for NBC and writes for the show 30 Rock. She is a super talented girl and we are o so proud. The show is very funny and if you haven’t seen it yet, NBC Thursday, iTunes or bittorrent it, you will laugh. If you don’t I will break your legs.

Say it isn’t so! Bob Barker is out? Maybe this is my chance? My dream job is opening up, do you think I have a shot?

Here you go. Fred Flintstone selling cigarettes in prime time, how things have changed. Originally the Flintstones aired in prime time and was targeted for adult audiences. Can you imagine the uproar if something like this went on the air today? The Senate would have to pass 50 new laws.

There are quite a few free TV sites popping up online these days. This is a good one, free news and entertainment, some racy adult entertainment too. How long before they, and when I say they, I mean the man, shuts this down. Or is this the future?

Live TV

This blog goes out to my hommie Chris, no not you the other one. I thought you might enjoy some pics of your fav Myth Buster girl. I know with your busy schedule you probably just don’t have the time to watch nearly as much TV as you did here in the COS. This should tide you over until the next time you get some quality time with A&E.

To tell you the truth I never thought FHM would pick Kari, not that she is not more than fit for such a gig. Chuck why don’t we subscribe to this magazine? They had Morgan last year and now Kari? We need to get on this, it seems like a geeks dream!

Enjoy!
