'The Simpsons' to Produce 20-Year-Old Script By Judd Apatow

Mike Sampson — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 17:00:47 +0000

Exactly 22 years ago, director Judd Apatow ('This is 40,' 'Knocked Up') wrote a script for 'The Simpsons' that was never used (which is not surprising since, at the time, Apatow had no credits and was still a struggling comedian). But now that Judd Apatow is Judd Apatow, 'The Simpsons' are producing the long lost script, which will air next year.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 22:00:56 +0000

Boy, we were more serious than we knew when we said that these days all one needed to do to get a pilot green-lit was bring classic characters into the modern day. Whether Thomas Edison, Sherlock, 'Alice in Wonderland' or 'Great Expectations,' now it seems 'Bonnie & Clyde' are to capture the hearts of the modern day next. FOX has put forth a modern version of the classic crime duo for development, but what makes their tale different than its 20th century predecessor?

Another 'The Office' Star Lands a FOX Sitcom in 'Dirty Blondes'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:00:44 +0000

Stars of 'The Office,' it is officially time to abandon ship. Mindy Kaling certainly got the ball rolling early by departing the NBC staple's final season for her own series 'The Mindy Project' on FOX, and many other 'Office' stars have movie careers to fall back on as well. So while the series may end up continuing in the Dwight Schrute-centric 'The Farm,' what current 'Office' star has made a deal of his or her own?

'The Simpsons' Safe for Two More Seasons

George McIntyre — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 22:57:01 +0000

Don’t have a cow, man! Life in Springfield for “The Simpsons” will go on, at least for a 24th and 25th season.

Yabba, Dabba, Doo! Frederick Joseph Flintstone will make a triumphant return in 2013, thanks to “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane. But will prehistoric clan (sing it with me) from the…..town of Bedrock still have same G-rated, family-friendly charm? MacFarlane isn’t saying. He told Media Banter: “The very first cartoon character I drew at age 2 [...]

Fox Cancels 'America's Most Wanted'

J. Patrick — Tue, 17 May 2011 12:21:36 +0000

'America's Most Wanted' is officially no longer wanted on Fox, as the network announced Monday that it is canceling the long-running program after 23 years on the air.

The reason: The show was no longer profitable, according to Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly.

"It's been an important show for us historically," he said. "We haven't made money on the show in quite a while. It wasn't particularly viable. We wanted to keep the franchise alive. John is having conversations about ways to keep the series alive."

Networks Axing Great Shows, Victims Include 'AMW', 'Brothers & Sisters'

George McIntyre — Mon, 16 May 2011 23:41:07 +0000

ABC is pulling the plug on two of my favorites: “Brothers & Sisters” and “Detroit 1-8-7″. The gritty cop show’s cancellation doesn’t come as a huge surprise, as it may have been more of a regional hit. But the Walker family? Really? BuddyTV reports that ABC has also canceled “V”, “No Ordinary Family”, “Off the [...]

Zoe.Burdine-Fly — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 22:03:03 +0000

No big surprise last night on Idol when Naima and Thia got voted off the show. But what about Paul?Eventually, all but one has to go and of course that “one” should be Pia. So, did America get it right last night? In my opinion, we did not! If you base it solely on the [...]

Casey Abrams; American Idol Judging Mistake?

Zoe.Burdine-Fly — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 17:41:33 +0000

Big mistake by the Idol judges last night. They should have NOT used their only “save” on Casey! I was truly irritated that the judges decided to keep Casey on the show. Having said that, should Thia or Lauren go home first? Absolutely! However, Casey is not going to make it to the top three, [...]

Simon Cowell has announced that Island Def Jam Chairman L.A. Reid will be one of the judges on ‘X Factor.’ It makes sense for Simon to choose a music executive who has the experience. Simon plans on announcing the other two judges in the next few weeks. This is only a rumor, but supposedly Enrique [...]

Hollywood Week – Too Many People? [VIDEO]

Zoe.Burdine-Fly — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:12:26 +0000

I am so glad that Hollywood Week is starting on American Idol. Usually, I enjoy the auditions, but this season it felt long and tedious to me. Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez put so many undeserving contestants through at the start of the auditions, that I began to get frustrated. Now, it is time to [...]
