If things were a little quiet around here the last few days, that’s because I was off shooting a short horror film. Nothing like hanging around with a dessicated corpse to get you week off to a great start. But while I was in production heck, the scifi world continued to turn so here are some of the news bits I missed and maybe you did, too.
FlashForward – According to Hollywood Reporter, the series is about to get another show runner but no one knows who it is. The first show runner left early on and was replaced by David …read more

Bravo’s new series Top Chef Masters pits four culinary wizards against each other in challenges that really put their creativity to the test. Next week, the chefs will be asked to prepare The Lost Supper. No, not The Last Supper, but a dinner based on the foods that you would find on Lost!
The master chefs for this round are Wylie Dufresne (wd~50), Suzanne Tracht (Jar), Graham Elliot Bowles (Graham Elliot Restaurant) and Elizabeth Falkner (Orson). They’ll need to create a fabulous three course meal using ingredients such as fish, wild boar, fresh fruits and canned goods chosen by The Dharma …read more

“Just hired Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Erik Oleson, and Angela Kang as writers on DAY ONE! More announcements soon!”
– Jesse Alexander via Twitter
Day One is NBC’s new apocalyptal aftermath series helmed by Heroes and Lost producer Jesse Alexander.
The story follows a band of eclectic neighbors from the same apartment building in Los Angeles who are forced to ban together in order to survive. Now they’ve got some hefty talent backing them up in the form of Javier Grillo-Marxuach (seen here with his friends from Lost) the creative genius behind the underrated Middleman series along with Erik Oleson from E-Ring and The Agency. …read more

This post contains spoilers from Lost’s 100th Episode, so steer clear if you haven’t seen it yet. Besides which, if you haven’t seen it yet get thee to a Tivo and check it out. It’s head trippy.
You would expect something less from TV’s most plot-twisted, confusing but always exciting show? With a firm end date in sight and the answers to at least a few questions in place, the most popular castaways not involved in a three-hour tour are keeping us captivated. 

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

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

These are weird, weird times to be a TV writer – or viewer, for that matter. As the industry still digs itself out of the disaster that was the Writers’ Strike, we get a ridiculous 71 shows premiering new episodes this month. TV Guide has put together a comprehensive list here.
Yes, some of these shows are new shows that are probably already as good as canceled. I’m looking at you, Game Show in My Head and Howie Do It. But there are some bigtime shows like Battlestar Galactica (Jan. 16 at 9 p.m. CT) and Lost (Jan. 21, 8 …read more

Nielsen is slowly but surely getting clued in to the significance of DVRs and has released the Top 10 shows that increased in DVR usage in 2008. It probably won’t surprise our readers that several genre shows rank among them.
Variety reports that Heroes picks up an additional 1.83 million viewers off DVR recordings, Lost gains 1.79 million, and Fringe adds 1.60 million. A second list ranked shows by the percentage of viewership increase from DVR. SCI FI Channel did very well in those ratings as Battlestar Galactica topped that list with a 53 percent increase. New show Sanctuary sees a …read more

Flickdirect tells us about the fourth season of ABC’s hit Lost on DVD. This is a show that pretty much requires repeated viewing to even begin to understand what’s going on. So a DVD set is a perfect way to get caught up.
Special features includes behind the scenes footage and a …read more
