Fall plots leaked

http://www.dmwmedia.com/news/2007/07/30/upcoming-fall-tv-show-pilots-leaked-online

Los Angeles - The pilot episodes from several upcoming TV series -- including NBC's "Bionic Woman" and Fox's "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" -- have been leaked onto Internet file-sharing networks, TVWeek.com reported.

Other pilots that have shown up on BitTorrent tracker sites like TorrentSpy, The Pirate Bay and Mininova include ABC's "Pushing Daisies" and "Cavemen," NBC's "Chuck" and "Lipstick Jungle," and The CW's "Reaper."

While all networks contacted by TV Week declined comment, some representatives said they anticipated screener copies of the shows would appear on the Internet, and all denied leaking the shows online themselves.

Anyone watch Damages (10 pm, FX) last night?

I think I liked it - liked it enough to watch the next episode. Matthew thought it was too predictable, but it worked for me. Glenn Close is good as always, and as Matthew also said, she seems to outshine the rest of the cast. One episode is hard to go on though, especially the premiere. It's on our season pass, so I must remember to watch next week.

Greek & Journeyman

Earlier today they were filming Journeyman on the street in front of my office @ Mission & New Montgomery. It looked like there were even more homeless folks than usual around; at some point there were many helicopters circling. It was not exciting & absolutely annoying.

We've been watching the new show Greek & really loving it. It really harkens back to the glory days of 90210. There are some truly lame scenes but overall it is great. And of course it was originally produced for ABC Family which makes it wholesome to boot.

Lastly, this movie looks awesome:

Psych Starts a New Season Tonight!

Love my boys from Psych - hopefully I'll get to watch some of the episodes this summer. I keep missing Closer and Rescue Me. I'll need to take a day and catch up by watching online I guess.

By the way, have you guys noticed our guest commenters lately?

Mojo TV

Is anyone else watching Mojo TV? I think it is the old UHD channel repurposed for guys.

There are a few priceless shows, among the best is "I Bet You" where two poker players walk around and bet each other about random stuff. Very funny.

Joe and I LOVE this show and it seems the rest of America agrees:
Tuesday night's series premiere of The Singing Bee brought in the highest A18-49 rating (5.0/14) and overall viewership (13.3 million total viewers) of any summer series on any network so far this year, according to live plus same day results from Nielsen.
The thing that is great about it is that all the songs are the ones you sing along to on the radio at the top of your lungs, when you are alone in the car, of course.

Sunday the 15th

No, this is not only the day that Joe and I return from Grandpa Lou's 90th birthday party weekend extravaganza.... It's also the premiere on VH1 at 10:30 PM Scott Baio is 45 ... And Single, created by Bischoff Hervey Entertainment and produced by 3 Ball Productions. Chachi has always been a favorite for me. I also plan to tivoing entertainment tonight today to see the exclusive on camera reunion between Joanie and Chachi. The promos make it seem very controversial. I am interested to see if they address that unwieldy internet rumor about what may or may not have happened between them years ago.

ABC, follows NBC lead, bringing back cancelled shows for wrap-ups

Knights of Prosperity returns next month and air its final four episodes beginning Wednesday, August 8 at 830p. The Nine is also returning in August, kicking off its final episodes on August 1st at 10p.

SoapNet's new latenight series, General Hospital: Night Shift, includes a janitor with a secret past; it;s a face you haven't seen in a while on tv - Billy Dee Williams, returning for a regular gig on TV. The series premieres on Thursday at 11pm on dtv channel 262.
Also premiering tonight - The Singing Bee on ABC @ 930 pm and Glutton for Punishment on Food Network @ 930 pm
patty, print your cards out now! ABC is bringing back interactive game show Bingo Night for a five-night run in December, partly because it was so successful in driving traffic to ABC.com, according to Broadcasting and Cable. More than 22 million Bingo cards were downloaded during the show's run as the site doubled its unique users in May from the previous year to more than 14.6 million, finishing atop of MediaMetrix and Nielsen's list of entertainment TV sites for the month. The show only averaged a 1.4/5 share rating in the 18-49 demo during its initial run.

That # seems kind of insane to me, but then I remembered the last night I played, I played 18 cards (9 for Joe and 9 for me, but he feel asleep before the first commercial so I had to sort of take the wheel...). and we didn't even get one BINGO. That's why I am CERTAIN it is rigged.
