I Guess I Could Watch This After I Finish S4 On Netflix

Saturday Morning Videos - Episode VII

It was announced late yesterday that the Star Wars franchise has a writer attached...Michael Arndt, who won an Oscar for writing Little Miss Sunshine, had provided a 40 page treatment for the next three installments, and will pen Star Wars Episode VII. He was also behind Toy Story 3 and the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.  There's still no director attached, but thankfully Conan has been sharing some audition tapes.

You'll have to track this import down...can you imagine a US channel ever getting the nerve to develop a show about a transgender hitman?

A Bold Approach, But I'm Not Sure I'm Sold On It

I'm happy that one of my former improv buddies as not olly generated a career in film and television, but also has gone behind the scenes to find success.  Battleground premieres today on Hulu and is it's first scripted series. JD Walsh (and producer Marc Webb) talk about it here, and these clips may make him a little more recognizable.

Another Shiva Bowl For 2012

Christmas comes early!  The League has been renewed for a fourth season! It's arguably the funniest show on television (I'm arguing with anyone who disagrees), and with Archer, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and Louie, FX is far and away killing all other networks in the comedy realm.

Parks And Renewal

Though tonight is the last episode of their mini-season, there will be plenty of South Park to come.

Comedy Central has renewed the show for another three years beyond its current deal, stretching the series on through 2016, and extending its run to 20 seasons. Trey Parker and Matt Stone will continue to write, direct and edit every episode of South Park just as they have since the series’ premiere in 1997.

Just blasted through both seasons of The League in anticipation of Season 3, starting tonight after It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

If you're looking to set up a recording of Ice Road Truckers repeats and syndicated episodes of Family Guy, you and your DVR are in luck! TBS has given the hook to "Lopez Tonight".

Lopez's Thursday show at midnight (tomorrow) will be the final one, the cable network said in a statement that added they were proud to have worked with the "immensely talented comedian and entertainer." I'm sorry, they're talking about George Lopez, right?

The kill order came not only based not only on declining ratings but the cost of the show, according to the famed "person familiar with the production", who "spoke on condition of anonymity".

Though he's about as funny as a basic cable infomercial, it does suck that he graciously got forced moved to the later time for Conan O'Brien's show - who'd ironically left NBC when Jay Leno retook his airtime.

Lopez's total viewership dropped over 40% in its second year, from an average of 910,000 nightly viewers in the 11 p.m. slot to 543,000 at midnight. So far this month his audience has dropped to 391,000. Conan has been drawing slightly more than 1 million viewers for his first season - just 13% higher than Lopez did in his debut year, but the lead in program is still taking in more than 700,000 nightly viewers.

So it's a good news / bad news thing - George Lopez is off the air, but he's bound to be working on another project to try to get back on TV. Enjoy it while it lasts...

Leno Still Has A Show?

For the first time in a decade - or 40 consecutive quarters in TV terms, NBC's "Tonight Show" has not won the coveted adults 18-49 demographic. Q2 2011, hail the conqueror...Jon Stewart!

Stewart's margin in the demo was slim, but a victory is a victory: "The Daily Show" averaged 1.295 million viewers compared to Leno's 1.292 million. Usual runner-up "Late Show with David Letterman" had 1.096 million viewers.

It is the one-two punch of The Daily Show and "The Colbert Report" were the top-rated late-night shows on television among viewers 18-34 and male viewers (both 18-24 and 18-34). The Daily Show averaged 2.2 million total viewers, up 9%. The Colbert Report averaged 1.5 million total viewers and gained of 6%.

Interim Former Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien took the third spot for overall viewers in the quarter.  It's surprising that Leno isn't on CBS, home of the dull, but I'm sure that would be his next stop if Letterman quit.
