Nickelodeon creates a show for Moms

The late Television news for the week:

• Ray Stevenson, Punisher: War Zone, will be in Season 7 of Dexter. He will play an Eastern European criminal who comes to town to find out who killed a member of his organization. So that probably mean that Ray will play the character that will be the main villain in Season 7. I believe fans will be happy just as long as it doesn't end up like a repeat of Season 5.
• Nickelodeon is working on prime time programming for Moms. Now there can be many jokes made here, but lets not do that. It will be a late night set of shows that will include long and short humor shows, talk shows, stand-up, sketch comedy, and hidden camera shows. They are planning to launch the programming this fall under the name NickMom.
• Disney has a new show coming out for their Disney XD block. TRON: Uprising will be the cartoon sequel for TRON: Legacy and will be contained in The Grid. It is mainly trying to get kids interested in the Tron series (so that the next movie makes a bigger bang.) It seems decent, but I really don't want to watch it. Check out a sneak peak below:
  
  
• Netflix is trying to revive yet another fan favorite. They are working with CBS to get the rights for Jericho. If this does happen, then Netflix is getting smarter with targeting fan favorites like this. They bring in more subscribers and maybe get them to stay. I have almost finished re-watching Arrested Development on Netflix and I cant wait for the new season to be released. All I have to say is if Netflix still wants my business, keep reviving good shows. Maybe at one point they may even consider reviving Firefly.

Britney Spears is replacing Paula Abdul!?

The Television news for the week:

• Here are some more details on the Arrested Development show and movie:
• The fourth Season will have 10 episodes and will lead up to the movie.
• Each episode will be about a different member of the Bluth family. What they have been doing since we last saw them and what they are doing in the events leading up to the movie.
• Netflix will be releasing the entire season at once to see how many total views they can get.
• If this season does well, there might be another season coming.
• Britney Spears is finalizing a deal so that she can become a Judge on Season 2 of The X Factor. After Paula Abdul was axed, they need to replace her with somebody. Simon Cowell says that they will be announcing a new judge by the end of next week. If Britney Spears takes the deal, she will be making $15 Million a season.
• Bryan Fuller is thinking of developing a new Star Trek TV show. If it happens, it would take place after J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek Sequel. Which gives the show sometime to really work out the story. They are planning to make the show in the years 3000 and with a whole new Ship. The show is years away from production, but I will keep you updated as the story develops.
• Season 2 of American Horror Story has a little bit of news. Ryan Murphy, the series' creator, has said that the show will be taking place at a institution for the criminally insane on the east coast that is being ran by Jessica Lange character. I still have not watched a single episode of the show and have no idea if I should get into the show.

From 'The Office' to 'The Farm'

The Television show news for the week:

• Paul Lieberstein's character Toby Flenderson might be leaving The Office soon. Paul announced that he might be leaving and The Office and heading to The Farm, the  potential Dwight-centered spin off. Paul is currently head of the writing staff and a co-producer of The Office and plays the role of Toby, the soft-spoken HR rep. In an upcoming episode of The Office, the spin off will be tested out to see how fans will take it. If it is as good as it sounds, fans might like it and it will become a show. The Farm then make a mid season 2013 debut. They have to do something soon if they are going to save The Office.  James Spader and Mindy Kaling will not be back next season. Ed Helms, John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer are still waiting to find out if they will have a job next season.
• Netflix acquires the streaming rights to BBC's soccer drama titled United. The drama stars David Tennant as Coach Jimmy Murphy, who is in who is charge of rebuilding the broken team.  United is a 90 minute telefilm that tells the tragic story of British European Airways Flight 609. That flight crashed in Munich on February 6, 1958 following takeoff. The crash killed eight of Manchester United’s football stars. It also left two players so badly injured they never played again. Sounds like a good move for Netflix since it does have David Tennant, but I would have to see it before I could judge it to much.
• Felicia Day will be making a guest appearance on the popular TV show Supernatural as a Computer Hacker.  She will play a low-level computer tech at one of Dick Roman’s companies whose amateur computer hacking gets her in trouble with the Winchester brothers. Dick Roman plays this season’s primary antagonist, if you didn't know this already. The episode is humorously titled The Girl With the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo and will come out April 27th.

Hannibal, Coming to a TV near you!!

The Television news for the week:

• Netflix decides not to pick up Terra Nova from Fox. Smart business move there. The show cost over $4 Million an episode to make. It was expensive and wasn't a fan favorite. Fox still has the cast and crew under contract so who knows what will be done with the show. There is still no word whether Netflix will be purchasing The River from Fox. My hopes are that they would so they can give the show a chance to reach its full potential.
  
• Bryan Fuller, creator of Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me,  is working on a series about Hannibal, Thomas Harris iconic serial killer. It is planned to take place in between the movies Hannibal Rising and Red Dragon. Bryan Fuller is also the one behind the reboot of The Munsters TV series.  Channels are being cautious with Hannibal, they are only putting in an order for 13 episodes. Not to much news is out the show since it is in the first stages of being made.
  
• Here is a trailer for a new show coming to HBO called The Newsroom. It features Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy, a news anchor who has an on-air meltdown and jeopardizes his career and future. Check out the trailer below:

Don Draper for President!!!

The Television news for the week:

• Netflix is in talks with ABC to purchase The River. The River to me is a good show and I don't understand why the Paranormal Activity franchise is good, but not The River. I like that Netflix is trying to acquire shows that may otherwise not be released. With Netflix already bring Arrested Development back and taking over Terra Nova, this a good move for them. I hope the deal goes through.

• The cost of Don Draper in today's society. This little info graphic about the famous Mad Men character and how much it would cost in today's world to still be the Don Draper from 1962. Check it out below:
  
  
  
• More details about the Smallville Season 11 Comic book has been released. Here are some things you need to know about it:
• There will be more Superman then Clark Kent
• It will be kind of like Superman: Year One with the Smallville cast
• Chloe and Oliver are married. they want to move to Star City, but cant because of something that happens in the first 12 weeks of their marriage. Maybe a Baby? Maybe more of saving the world?
• Will have a lot of DC character guest stars just like the show had.
• Comes out as a digital comic in April and in print in June
• Here are the covers of the first 2 issues:
• Issue #1:
  
• Issue #2
  
  
• A new trailer for Season 2 of Game of Thrones has been released. Check it out below:
  
  They also released TV spots that wants fans to pledge their allegiance to their favorite noble house of Westeros. I would have posted them here, but there are 5 different TV spots and I didn't think you guys wanted a post filled with 6 videos and barley anything else. They are all on HBO's website if you want to see them.

Facebook: Where games go to die!

The Gaming new for this week:

• Rumor: Xbox 720 will support Blu-Ray, but not used games.

• Netflix will never offer video games rentals...until they change again. Looks like GameFly is still number one!

EA Syndicate remake:

• This is probably old to you guys, but I just saw it. For those of you who havent seen it, here it is:

The Avengers - Leaked Gameplay Footage

• Ubisoft' says Assassin’s Creed 3 will be the biggest game of the franchise. The main Character will be  Desmond Miles and it may take place completely in modern day. Yet there are a few rumors that the game will take place during the American Revolution. It will end the series, but what will Ubisoft do after that? What will their next big series be about?

• Modern Warfare 3 sucks more and more each day. The COD Elite maps are only available to the user that downloads them. Which means you can not play Co-op on these maps. I'm so glad I don't own that game.

• Angry Birds is heading to Facebook and you know what that means. Yep, it will be over played, made money off of, and your friends will bother you non-stop with their stupid requests to play with them. It is to be released on February 14th aka Valentines Day.

• A screenshot of The Amazing Spider-Man Video Game shows little and a lot at the same time. It shows you the environment and Spidey's Attire. It also hints/teases at a Free Roam ability. Which, as you know, hasn't been in a Spider-Man game since the game for Spider-Man 2 was released. Beenox knows what they are doing so lets hope its the best Spider-Man game ever made.
  

• Half-Life fans are getting very angry and it seems Valve won't like them when they are angry. Thats right, the Steam Group for Half-Life is full of Angry Nerds and is growing constantly. Gamers are mad about Valve's lack of communication with their fans on news about Half-Life 3. They are planning an event where over 30,000 gamers will get on and play Half-life 2 to get the attention of Valve. To me, I would rather let Valve take their time to get every thing perfect (since I still have not bought Orange Box for my Xbox 360.) I think this is a publicity for the game so it will be the biggest title to come from Valve.

Official PROTOTYPE 2: RADNET Edition Content

• New Episodes of  'Arrested Development' will be on Netflix in 2013. Finally Netflix does something smart!
