NBC gets Channel of the Year Award!

The television news for the week:
  • NBC has renewed 30 Rock, Community, and Parks and Recreation for another season, but with a catch. They will all have shortened seasons. Each show will average about 13 to 14 shows this season. 30 Rock is coming back for its seventh and mostly likely final season. After the long mid season hiatus for Community, people weren't sure if it there would be a season four. Parks and Recreation will be back for its fifth season. NBC also decided to cancel Awake after a first season full of mixed reviews.
  • Fox decides to pick up the show Touch for another season and decides to cancel Alcatraz, The Finder, Breaking In, and I Hate My Teenage Daughter. This is sad, I kind of liked The Finder and Breaking In, even though I have only seen one episode of each show. The renewal of Touch doesn't come as a surprise since it was such a smash hit with audiences.
  • The cast of Grey’s Anatomy has signed contracts for seasons 9 and 10. This is sad since I think the show is a ripoff of Scrubs and is really bad Television. I cant believe a show like this has lasted this long.
  • AMC renews Comic Book Men and The Talking Dead for another season each. I was surprised that Comic Book Men could get another season sin it was really hard for me to watch it. It was boring, lame, and couldn't keep my attention. The Talking Dead on the other hand was pretty cool. Chris Hardwick made the after show for The Walking Dead fun and Entertaining. I am now a big fan of The Nerdist Podcast that is hosted by Chris Hardwick and I can't wait for season 3 of The Walking Dead to return so that he can talk about the show with some more special guests.
  • The CW orders many shows, but me being a guy and a comic book nerd only one is worth watching for me. Arrow, the TV show adaption of the Green Arrow Comic Books seems to be working out as a good show. The CW also adds The Carrie Diaries, Beauty and the Beast, First Cut, and Cult to the line up this fall.  The Carrie Diaries will serve as a Sex and the City Prequel. Beauty and the Beast will be the modern version of the TV show back in the 80's. First Cut will be like an ER equivalent of the movie Mean Girls. The TV show Cult will be about an Investigative journalist who investigates the growing number of suspicious macabre happenings surrounding a show called Cult (isn't that already the name of this show?) and the weird happenings of super fans taking their devotion to the show to weird and scary places in the weird world. Its seems to be kind of like Supernatural to me.
  • Jon Favreau and J.J. Abrams have a new show coming out this Fall. It is a Sci-Fi Show coming to NBC and is called Revolution.
    Here is the trailer for the show:

    As long as my work schedule isn't so heavy on the Monday's I will be watching this show!
  • Yet another show that could be good is coming to NBC. The show is called Chicago Fire and features Jesse Spencer from House, Check out the trailer below:

Paranormal Activity + Lost + The Amazon= The River!

The Television news for this week:
  • Stephen Amell will play Olvier Queen, The Green Arrow, in CW's new Green Arrow TV show. Fans were hoping that it would be a direct spin-off from Smallville, where Olvier Queen was played by Justin Hartley. Stephen Amell has recently starred in shows like The Vampire Diaries, 90210, and recently cancelled Hung. DC and CW has green lighted the series and it will start production soon.
  • The River is premiering tonight and I cant wait to watch it. One of my favorite Actors, Joe Anderson, stars in this  show about a crew of explores on a quest to find a missing TV explorer in the Amazon. The show comes from the minds of  Oren Peli and Michael R. Perry, which are the minds behinde the Paranormal Activity trilogy. Check out the Full trailer here:
  • The next show I am planning to start watching is Alcatraz, The show from the mind of J.J. Abrams. I am a huge fan of his work and I havent found time to sit down and watch it yet. Either I am going to have to catch the reruns or buy it on iTunes.
  • Oh and dont forget, The Walking Dead comes back this Sunday at 9PM on AMC. I may be out of town at a concert that night so I dot think I will be able to watch it until the next day.
