Could Lost Be Coming to Hulu?
March 28, 2009 by brian
You’ve probably seen those Hulu commercials with Eliza Dushku, who even looks hot as an alien sent to eat our brains. We could possibly soon see Evangeline Lilly threatening to exterminate the human race in commercials for the NBC Universal TV/Internet venture.
Paid Content is reporting that Disney could grant access to its ABC programming in exchange for equity in Hulu. The service would certainly benefit from having a show like Lost, which warrants repeat viewings to figure out what the heck just happened. There’s still no clear indication whether Disney programs like Aaron Stone would be part of the …read more
Prinze Joins No Heroics Cast
March 20, 2009 by brian
Freddie Prinze Jr. is returning to ABC with another comedic venture, this time joining superhero spoof No Heroics. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show will focus on a B-list group of heroes.
Prinze is on hand to play Ultimatum, a cocky alpha male with wealth, fame and power who tortures one of the B-lister heroes. Before this jaunt, Prinze starred in Freddie, which had a brief run on ABC in 2005.
The superhero genre is rife for satire, with The Incredibles and the hit cartoon adaptation of Ben Edlund’s Tick comics showing how it can be done. For an example …read more
Life on Mars Ending, But Will Get Closure
March 4, 2009 by brian
After coming under fire for letting Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies drift off into oblivion, ABC will allow Life on Mars to finish its story.
Variety confirmed the American revamp of the British sci-fi series will end this season, but ABC has informed producers so they can resolve the story in 17 episodes. Ironically, the British original ran only 16 episodes as a closed-ended series. That show then spun into the 1980s with Ashes to Ashes, a show following Lt. Gene Hunt. No such luck for the American series.
The American version was troubled from the beginning, undergoing …read more
FOX Moves Idol Against Lost
February 19, 2009 by brian
What, you thought FOX was merely content to kill its own sci-fi shows? No, the network is now setting its aim on former ABC juggernaut Lost. The Hollywood Reporter’s James Hibberd tells us American Idol is moving to 9 p.m. Wednesday nights, putting it head to head with Lost for the rest of the season.
ABC’s former watercooler show is losing viewers weekly and having a heavyweight like Idol move into the same timeslot is not good news. FOX’s new project Lie To Me will move to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. The Tim Roth vehicle has more than held its own against …read more

ABC Adapting Fables for TV
December 9, 2008 by brian
ABC is jumping back into the fantasy fray with plans to bring Bill Willingham’s acclaimed comic Fables to TV. The Hollywood Reporter says ABC has greenlit a pilot for the comic telling the stories of fairytale characters living in exile in modern day New York.
In the book, The Big Bad Wolf has seen the error of his ways and is now the sheriff of Fabletown. In the comic’s first story arc, Wolf has to solve the murder of Rose Red, Snow White’s sister. Suffice it to say Red is – not so Snow White.
Apparently NBC contemplated the same idea …read more

Critically acclaimed fantasy show Pushing Daisies is no more, done in by second season ratings that never lived up to expectations. It was quite the bloodletting at ABC yesterday as word is that Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money also got the boot. E Online’s Kristin dos Santos confirmed the bad news about Daisies with executive producer Bryan Fuller Thursday.
Fuller said there are already discussions with DC Comics to do a comic book that will wrap up the show’s ongoing storyline. That route has already been followed by Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel. Both those …read more

Tonight, Detective Sam Tyler has to deal with a strange hostage situation that may be connected to his own – strange situation. Also, he gets a phone call from what sounds like his mother in 2008 begging him to wake up.
Life on Mars will soon be leaving its Thursday night digs to be paired with the returning Lost on Wednesday nights. ABC is hoping the two sci-fi shows will play well together, not unlike FOX’s decision to pair up Dollhouse and Terminator on Fridays.
What do you think, readers? Are you ready to follow Life on Mars …read more
Life on Mars: Things to Do in New York When You Think You’re Dead

Tonight on Life on Mars, the 125th Precinct is caught in the middle of racial tensions between Black and Puerto Rican factions. A Black girl is thrown off a building and there’s a Puerto Rican murder suspect. The Black Liberation Army wants to handle the matter in its own way and I’m guessing it will not involve Miranda rights or writ of habeas corpus.
As a bonus, Whoopi Goldberg guest stars. After election season on The View, I’m imagining a full-scale riot may be a quieter gig for Whoopi.
