Posted January 13, 2009 I agree, but what gets me is that they've currently got 4 episodes and are contemplating doing a few more -- so what, they've got an ending already but they might patch a few more bits on afterwards? Or have they not yet filmed their ultimate finalé, but don't really care? Hum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2009 We all knew it was the last season anyway so its not a big deal that they've officially 'cancelled' it. Exec producer Matt Olmstead tells EW exclusively that there was ''nowhere to go beyond this season,'' adding that he ''didn't want the show to become a parody of itself.'' Ratings-wise, the decision was easy since viewership is down 22 percent from last year. Luckily, fans will get some closure. Break returns April 17 to air its remaining six episodes. Michael and Lincoln (Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell) will finally catch a break -- at a huge cost -- in May's finale. Says Olmstead, ''There will be deaths.'' But since Fox extended Break's 22-episode order by two hours earlier this year, that ''finale'' may not even be the show's last gasp. Olmstead has filmed a couple of extra segments that he says ''address a couple of other storylines [and] can play as a standalone .'' What's more, there are rumblings that Break might get a stay of execution under somewhat different circumstances. Explains exec producer Dawn Parouse, ''I would love to do a show about a women's prison. It would have to be a fresh start -- if not by us, then somebody.'' A female prison might be good, but i fear they've already visited so many prison avenues that it would feel regurgitated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2009 Gossip Girl Spin Off is in the works While earlier the official statement was "there is no approved concept and/or confirmation of a Gossip Girl spin-off at this time" the news now is that yes, there is going to be a spin-off, and yes, it's going to focus on a younger Lily romping around Hollywood in the '80s. Written by Gossip creators/executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the spin-off begins when Lily moves to the San Fernando Valley with her outcast sister following an argument with her parents. Departing from a world of luxury to the valley that Lily once made fun of, she goes over the hill into Hollywood, where we're sure she gets into a bunch of trouble and scandalous situations. And that's where she ends up dating rocker Rufus and getting preggers. Not based on the Gossip Girl books or their own spin-off series, Schwartz and Savage selected their characters, timeframe, and location because "We didn't want to upset the chemistry of our cast — all of whom are crucial to the show. Nor did we want to dilute New York City as a character." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2009 At first I thought it was bogus (as its been 'announced' twice already) but does seem to be real. Which is kinda annoying because 1) Gossip Girl is only about 30-odd episodes 'old' and 2) Sounds like The OC with bad fashion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gossip Girl works because it's...well actually I am amazed it works so well. There's no way they can pull it off twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2009 Oh and something else; Lily and Rufus' relationship annoys me. Granted when they were teens (and actually I wouldn't mind seeing Lily's photography career) they have some excuses but now they're 30-odd and really should stop acting like children. Hey, at least Lincoln Hawk may have more than one song now :p (although 'Everytime You Walk Away' is catchy) In other news 30 Rock has been renewed for a 4th Season (and the american office has been renewed and they're doing a spin off) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 16, 2009 lol CW producer, Dawn Ostroff wants to replace Smallville with New Melrose Place next year (despite Smallville being the channel's highest rated show). They are asking the Smallville creators to create an ending for the show this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 17, 2009 And in 'String of Profanities' News of the Day: ABC aren't airing the remaining episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money until at least June.

Posted January 21, 2009 I noticed something interesting in the TV guide. Pushing Daises Season 2 is starting on ITV next week with episode "1 of 13". Looks like there may be hope. Although we'll still have to wait until around April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 An excerpt from an interview with Howard Gordon, 24's executive producer. "I take it one hour at a time. The important thing is to find the right end to the show. Kiefer feels this way [too] and it's entirely possible the eighth year will be the last year. This is me talking, but we'll know when it's time to leave. We won't want to be dressing a corpse. As long as we can figure out a story that means something to Jack - but we don't want to be glutinous about it and make it go on forever." There's talk of a movie too, Kiefer Sutherland reckons Jack Bauer is going to die. Damn it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 To be honest, I think it would be good to finish on 8. It can't go on forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 21, 2009 And a TV movie and a possible other movie :p As I've said before, the concept seems like it was made for regular newbies but they were smitten with Sutherland and dug themselves into a hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
