Big News of the Week: NBC Already Picks Up Four Shows: We are two weeks away from networks officially announcing their schedules but for the second year in a row, NBC has jumped the gun, last year they had an “in front” and earlier this week they greenlit four programs. First came word of Undercovers early pick up. The show is from J.J. Abrams which I am going to pass on because I am tired of all his high concept, low reward projects.
Later in the week NBC also picked The Event is “is an emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller” starring Jason Ritter (Joan of Arcadia
), who hopefully shaved unnecessary facial hair he was sporting on Parenthood, the moderately attractive Sarah Roamer (Disturbia
), Blair Underwood (Set it Off
) as the president, and Laura Innes (the doctor with the limp on ER
) as “the leader of a mysterious group of detainees.” The characters and “Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind.” If NBC brings back Heroes
, they can have this and Undercover as a night of high concept low rewards. Outsourced is about an American transferred to India and hilarity ensures. I don’t think anyone in the cast was in Slumdog Millionaire
so no one will recognize anyone in the cast except The Drew Carey Show
’s Diedrich Bader. The third is Love Bites which thankfully not another lame vampire show but a romantic comedy anthology starring Becki Newton (Ugly Betty
), who made my list of the Hottest Hot Chicks of the 00’s and Jordana Spiro (My Boys
) who didn’t.Can’t say I am exited excited about any of these though I may change my mind when I actually see some sort of promo that will presumably come during the upfronts.

Next Week Pick of the Week: Survivor, Thursday and Sunday at 8:00 on CBS: We have hit the home stretch with the final six that have out witted, out smarted and out lasted the likes of Boston Rob, Amanda Kimmel (who was voted off for the first time in three tries) and two previous winners, Tom Weston and J.T. Thomas. Can Parvati Shallow or Sandra Diaz-Twine manage a repeat win? Will remaining Heros Rupert or Colby, who even checked out of the game even before the merge, pull out a win? Can Russell weasel his way into the final tribal just to lose to a lesser player like Jerri because he is the dumbest player in Survivor history? Will The Dragons play the reunion show? If you do not know who The Dragons are, you much watch their music video.
) who has someone else sing and play piano for him.
) as the shifty producer of the play that Luckett runs off to join. Gregalen Williams (
) is convincing behind the pulpit as Luckett’s bishop father. While Essence Atkins (TBS’s upcoming sitcom version of Are We There Yet?) provided some nominal comedic relief as Luckett’s lone friend on the traveling play. But still Preacher’s Kid feels like a Lifetime movie for the large majority of the film. 
- Party Down (Amazon Video on Demand): The new season of the Starz comedy recently started and those that want to test out the show without subscribing can do so. You also check out the 
as recently released on DVD. And those with On Demand features may want to check out to see if the episode is available to preview (it is here on my Time Warner Cable) along with two first season episodes and the upcoming extremely hilarious episode, Steve Guttenberg’s Birthday which features, besides the title character as himself, 
as 
’s writing partner, a pairing made in Judd Apatow casting heaven.

match.” Unfortunately there was one solitary wheel for a reason, but the unicycle routine was kinda cool, but not as cool if it had been a Murderball game.
. But aside from a murder in episode one, the town of Haplin, Minnesota could be the exact opposite of the Washington town. There are no backwards talking midgets or other oddities that could only reside in the brain of David Lynch. Instead Haplin is more like a modern day Mayberry, your stereotypical small town where everyone know each other business because most work at the local bread factory, while the town’s namesakes still run the city and there have been no violent crime in over half a decade. 
), a somewhat creepy cinema buff in a place that may not even have a theater and who lives with a bunch of widows, and the newly arrived German. Or maybe it could be M.C. Gainey (
) who starts going into weird trances around the time of the murder. Like they say, The Magic Man is someone you pass by on the street today. 
) follow papa Gainey into the police department while his wife Amy Acker (
) works as the bread factory. There is also an eye rolling storyline with their babysitter (Sarah Gadon), from the wrong side of the track hiding her romance with the mayor’s grandson (Ben Schnetzer) because his father, Steven Weber (
) wouldn’t approve. Oh yeah, and Weber’s other kid was one of The Magic Man’s victims and he seems like the only person in the town that doesn’t want to forget the Magic Man even existed.
concerts in London, his brothers were also contemplating their own comeback with a fortieth anniversary concert and just like Michael was documenting his preparation for the event, the brothers decided to film as they decide to put on a concert or not. The result ended up on Bravo as a six episode documentary show for A&E as
