[The Limey] – The former CBS ‘comedy’ ‘Two and a Half Men’ has attracted a lot of press recently – for all the wrong reasons. The show hasn’t been funny since about the time the dinosaurs left and Charlie Sheen has had some serious problems. And their Entertainment President, Nina Tassler [...] The impact of such shows as ‘Extreme Makeover’, ‘Top Chef’ and others has made large swathes of people take a new look at their homes. Suddenly, houses all over this glorious nation are sporting such tasteful décor as bucara rugs, suave copper sinks and a blossoming list of upscale augmentation. But [...] Having already made the film once, Warner Brothers have now announced that they and Leonardo DiCaprio are in discussions to make yet another ‘Twilight Zone’ movie. The 34-year old actor has been in talks with Warners regarding the project for over a year, and the studio has just hired largely unknown writer, Rand [...] After a lot of debate and months of concerned speculation among its still numerous fans, CBS has just announced that ‘Guiding Light‘ will be put out for good on September 17.

This is an attempt to keep track of possible rogue [...] Now it’s getting ugly. When Writers don’t work, the shows don’t happen. And the fall-out is becoming depressing – All the folks who work the cameras, lighting, sound, make up, wardrobe, catering and a dozen other fields are getting caught in the net. And some are getting fired. The scripts might not come…but the mortgage [...] It seems the Writers strike is already bearing some fruit. First, the Producers are getting worried [That's good.] Second, some of the most mediocre examples of the television medium will vanish, or fade to re-runs as their scripts disappear. ‘Desperate Housewives,” “Back to You,” “‘Til Death,” “Two and a Half Men,” “Old Christine,” and others [...] |
