Does anyone know what's going on with Salma Hayek on 30 Rock? They haven't written her character off from what I can remember, but I haven't seen her on the show in a while

This week's episode was funny

[Jason LeBlanc]

30 Rock: I can't believe they wrote Salma Hayek off the show like that. Very odd. This week's episode wasn't the best.

Fringe: Holy crap, I can't believe they got Akiva Goldsman to write/direct an episode for them! Very, very odd. Decent episode

Rescue Me: This season has been great! What do you guys think?

Better Off Ted: Weakest episode so far this week, but the show's still decent over all. Knights of Prosperity was still better though

Parks and Recreation: This show is really not picking up steam at all is it? Its so weird with these creators and this AMAZING cast, the final product isn't any better. Then again, I didn't love The Office until season 2.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Did anybody watch How I Met Your Mother last night?

Spoiler

Does that mean Stella is the mother?????????

Last night's House was good. I am liking this House is nuts storyline

Last week's 30 Rock had to be out of order again right? I thought Jack fired Jonathan?

[Mark Olivarez]

Well

Spoiler

Sarah Chalke

is going to be free after Wednesday.



But they need to start moving in that direction, especially with Alyson Hannigan on maternity leave and Cobie Smuthers about ready to join her soon.

[Jason LeBlanc]

OK are they even trying to hide Robin's pregnancy on HIMYM any more? I've never seen a show be so lazy about it before

[king mark]

I am still a big Survivor fan . This was a great season. I hope Coach comes back in all stars

[Koray Savas]

I wanted to go through and watch the all the episodes of Better Off Ted, but ABC only has the last episode up. What's the deal? I haven't been keeping up and I've liked what little I've seen.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Season finales of Family Guy and American Dad were pretty good. Haven't watched Simpsons yet

SNL with Timberlake was pretty funny, outside of that stupid Target sketch they always do

30 Rock finale was funny, though I think they need to mix things up somehow next season

Parks and Recreation's second half of the season was much stronger than the first. Finale was probably the best episode

This season of Reno 911 was been good. Loved the explanation for Trudy's stupidity

Rescue Me is awesome this season, way better than the last 2 mediocre seasons

House finale was good if not predictable

Better Off Ted's a decent show, I dunno why ABC only aired 7 of the 13 episodes filmed

Fringe finale - it was obvious when watching that this wasn't intended to be the season finale, not only because of the kind of lack of big ending JJ Abrams seasons are known for, but also cause they actually had footage from the next season already in the preview! When I read that the season was being shortened from 22 episodes to 20 I assumed they just filmed 2 less episodes but they must have filmed all 22 and then Fox only decided to air 20 of them... lame.

[Trent Bennett]

Tomorrow night is also the 2 hour season finale for 24.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Coming Back Next Season:
Better Off Ted, Castle, Lost, Scrubs, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, 24, Bones, Dollhouse, Fringe, House, Lie To Me, Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, 30 Rock, Chuck, Friday Night Lights, Heroes, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Smallville, Supernatural

Not Coming Back:
Cupid, Pushing Daisies, The Unusuals, Life On Mars, King Of The Hill, Prison Break, Terminator, Kings, Reaper

On the Bubble:
Samantha Who, Old Christine, The Unit, Eleventh Hour, My Name Is Earl

http://ausiellofiles...tv-cheat-s.html

[Red Rabbit]

Not Coming Back:
Cupid, Pushing Daisies, The Unusuals, Life On Mars, King Of The Hill, Prison Break, Terminator, Kings, Reaper

Man, I liked Reaper.

I also really hope My Name is Earl is continued. It's a good show.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I never saw Reaper, but it looked really good, and I downloaded the episodes with the intentions of watching when I found time... now maybe I won't bother.

Same thing happened to me with Jericho....

I loved My Name Is Earl when it started, and it was great through its first 3 seasons. This season has been a real dud, though. I have the last 3 episodes sitting on my tivo unwatched....

I'm surprised they are moving Fringe to Thursdays at 9 where it will compete with CSI, Grey's Anatomy, and The Office

I'm also surprised that Dollhouse is on both the Fall and Spring schedule since they only ordered 13 episodes.

CYA, My Name Is Earl

[king mark]

I have a feeling this 10PM Jay Leno show isn't going to last long

[Jason LeBlanc]

I don't get why they didn't just give Conan the 10pm slot and keep Jay on at 1130. That way Conan could've stayed in NY too

[king mark]

Obviously it's a cheap ass move by NBC to pay for less series. Something people will watch if there's nothing else. Why not fill the 9PM slot with one of their day time soaps while there at it

[Chris.Tilton]

Fringe finale - it was obvious when watching that this wasn't intended to be the season finale, not only because of the kind of lack of big ending JJ Abrams seasons are known for, but also cause they actually had footage from the next season already in the preview! When I read that the season was being shortened from 22 episodes to 20 I assumed they just filmed 2 less episodes but they must have filmed all 22 and then Fox only decided to air 20 of them... lame.

Before you go on thinking FOX is lame when it comes to FRINGE, let me explain. The content of episode 20 was always planned as the finale. There was a deal for 21 episodes, but as the schedule got tighter and tighter, they realized that there would be insufficient time to shoot and edit the finale (as ep 21) in time for the airdate, so they simply retooled the remaining episodes to end at episode 20 instead of 21. Since there was still an order for 21 episodes, they wrote, shot and edited the 21st episode (with a more relaxed schedule) with plans for it to air sometime in season 2.

Also, how can you say the finale had a lack of a big ending? It doesn't get more "HOLY SHIT!" than

Spoiler

olivia ending up in an alternate reality in which the World Trade Center towers still exist!

[John Crichton]

Sounds like Dollhouse's "ghost" 13th ep that'll be on the DVD.

[Jason LeBlanc]

1> Thanks Chris, that's very valuable info! I'm glad to hear that Fox didn't screw Abrams, Orci and Co. over!

So I take it that the "season 2 preview" shown at the end of the finale is entirely made up of footage from the mysterious episode 21, which appears to be somewhat of a standalone episode, not really one that carries the mythology story forward?

And no, the ending wasn't really that much of a "Holy shit" moment for me..... we knew Bell was hiding out in an alternate reality all along, and the tidbits from the newspaper as well as the fact that the twin towers weren't destroyed in that world wasn't all THAT mind blowing... it was more like OK, so the world is different... now I want to hear what Bell has to say.... oh wait, we gotta wait till the next season

I was more intrigued by the fact that Peter died in "our" world, and that Walter apparently stole the Peter from the alternate reality to replace him.... that's a cool twist! I also wonder what implications the alternate reality have for what The Observer is all about... it's a great show and I'm glad it was renewed!

2> Holy shit, Chris Tilton posts here!? THE Chris Tilton? Awesome!

I've been talking about how much I LOVE the music for Alias's final season for years now, and only recently discovered it was more your doing than Giacchino's. I REALLY hope a soundtrack will be released one day!!

BTW, as you were the orchestrator on Star Trek, any chance you could pop on over to this thread and fill in some gaps for us about the alternate film versions as compared to the album versions?

Chris Tilton has posted here before Jason It would be logical to check his official thread. Sadly, I'm the only person that really contributes to it.

All I watch on CBS is AFC Football.

I watch all 4 shows on the CBS Monday night comedy lineup, although I'm disappointed that it seems Rules Of Engagement has been cancelled as it's not on the lineup for Monday. During the NFL season I Tivo them so I don't miss Monday Night Football.

It's a mid-season replacement Mark

Regarding ALIAS, extremely unlikely. There is no market for an ALIAS soundtrack anymore, and it would cost way more than would be made to license the ability to release it from Disney.

As for that STAR TREK thread, you all have WAY too much time on your hands. Who cares!?!?! Go outside!

[Koray Savas]

Does Fracture still have some life left in it? Or did the planned release get scrapped?

Well Williams ain't doin much these days so we gotta talk about someone who is composing some very good music.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Here's a nice grid of the fall schedules

http://www.thefutonc...px?id=fall_2009

Mondays at 8, Heroes, House, and How I Met Your Mother will all be on at the same time. My DVR can only record 2 channels at once..... do I finally stop watching Heroes, or do I record House and Heroes and torrent HIMYM? Hmmmmm

[king mark]

Smallville is still on?

[Joey]

Like Lost, Smallville has been on too long, and neither show has a clue as to whats really going on.

[Red Rabbit]

Like Lost, Smallville has been on too long, and neither show has a clue as to whats really going on.

That hasn't been true for Lost in a long while. They only have one more season, they have to know what's happening.

[Drax]

Too bad Terminator got canceled. Channel 9 must have axed it too, we haven't seen it since early last year.

[Koray Savas]

Like Lost, Smallville has been on too long, and neither show has a clue as to whats really going on.

Quiet you. You don't even watch the show.

[Datameister]

Like Lost, Smallville has been on too long, and neither show has a clue as to whats really going on.

I swear, even if I wanted to post the kinds of stuff you do, I wouldn't be able to come up with it! I get the impression that when you were young, J.J. Abrams and Michael Giacchino teamed up to bully you on the schoolyard. (And by the way...

Spoiler

Kate's still on for next season

. Like you said, the truth is out there. )

[Koray Savas]

Why wouldn't Kate be on for next season? All Joey churns out are a bunch of non-reliable rumors.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Anybody here watch Free Radio?

I just got into it this past week and find it to be really funny! Also Anna is hot!

[Wojo]

This looks cool. Bring back V.

[John Crichton]

Wow, the whole first part of that just felt like a huge Independence Day ripoff. The rest, meh. But anything with Morena Baccarian in it is worth watching, though the short hair doesn't work for me.
