    Survivor One World's long, drawn-out finale was the show's lowest-rated finale ever, down 30 percent among people 18 to 49 from Survivor Redemption Island last spring, while the more lively reunion lost 29 percent of last season's viewers. Overall, an average of 10.22 million people watched, with 8.07 million sticking around for the finale, according to TV By the Numbers. Unsurprisingly, host Jeff Probst used the opportunity to acknowledge the problem in an interview with EW: "I think this season was a bit of a letdown. No fault of the Survivors, we are the producers.

    Post-mortem is especially appropriate, given the events of the season (fortunately not series) finale. The episode was very nearly perfect, tying up so many loose ends: What Bell did to Olivia What September meant when he told Olivia in every foreseeable future, she had to die Why & how September was shot Why Walter had part of his brain cut out How kickass Olivia’s cortexiphan-enhanced abilities really were I still feel as if the LSD episode of last season where Olivia calmly eats toast while saying the guy in the blimp was the man who kills her is somewhat unresolved, and we…

  • Russell Hantz and Dick Donato on Amazing Race? Oh no

    Andy Dehnart
    16 May 2012 | 11:45 am
    Survivor spoiler Russell Hantz suggested last night that he's training for The Amazing Race with Big Brother star "Evel Dick" Donato. This is, we hope and pray to whatever gods we can find to pray to, a terrible joke, although it's not like The Amazing Race can get any worse. The two interact on- and offline (reality stars are inducted into an incestuous fraternity after their show airs), and Russell actually first mentioned this possibility back in November. But it was his late Monday tweet that inspired excitement (from masochistic people who hate their lives) and horror (from people with…

    Reality TV is once again affecting the names of babies: An increasing number of people named their kids Mason and Briella, which the Social Security Administration attributes to the son of Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Kourtney Kardashian and a star of Jerseylicious. While Briella--like Jerseylicious's Briella Calafiore--is the 497th most-popular name, it moved up 394 positions; Mason is much more popular, having moved from 12 to 2, having jumped from 34 to 12 following the Kardashian kid's late 2009 birth, the AP reports.

    Kim Spradlin is the winner of Survivor One World, and won $1.1 million for convincing both her peers and viewers that she played a pretty flawless social and physical game. Besides winning four of the five last immunity challenges, including the final two challenges, she managed to betray people and backstab them, and for some reason, they did not care. That's remarkable. Alas, the finale was not, and felt long and drawn out--more nature shots than normal, and a lot of filler. So much of it was predictable, from Troy's me-me-me final Tribal Council question to Kim's win. There were some great…

    Lea Michele has paid tribute to Glee fans after wrapping her final scenes for the third season. The actress - who plays Rachel Berry in the musical TV show - will no longer be playing a leading part in the series as her character will be graduating from high school, but has thanks all the "Gleeks" for supporting her and the show since the beginning. "It's impossible to say how much Glee means to me. This year has been so amazing & I cannot WAIT for next year:) It's going to be great...

    Christina Aguilera gets fined for being "consistently about two hours late" to the set of The Voice. Bosses of the NBC series are now looking to increase the undisclosed amount the 31-year-old singer - who is a coach on the talent show - is required to pay for her poor punctuality in the hope that the financial hit "bothers her" and inspires her to turn up on set at the correct time during the third season. "Christina is consistently about two hours late. For season three this has got to stop. Whatever her fine is now doesn't bother her. She has so much money she probably doesn't…

    Imagine you had to give a presentation to a fairly large group. The topic is something you know something about. The quarterly report. The latest advances in merkins.

Bulky jacket,boots, lacing up the heavy boots, attaching one or two harnesses, stocking up on flares and picks. All this while you're analyzing T.S. Eliot poetry.

    15 May 2012 | 8:00 am
    Unlike NBC, CBS opted to pick up comedies by proven showrunners. Max Mutchnick & David Kohan got a show along with Alan Kirschenbaum. And both show are multi-camera. Meanwhile, NBC continues to assign showrunners to new series created by inexperienced writers. Now you’d think they’d try to match the perfect writer with the perfect project? No. They’re assigning showrunners that they have deals with. NBC is the Fantastic Sams of networks. Yes, WHITNEY got picked up. But look where NBC scheduled it. In the Friday 8-9 death slot. And what did they pair it with? COMMUNITY – the show…

    Just left New York before the big Upfronts announcements – not that any of the networks would’ve invited me to any of their launch parties anyway. (“Levine doesn’t have a show and he eats all the shrimp!”) Big new trend this year: new series picked up without proven showrunners. How can you tell? When the networks told the lucky pilot creators they were on the schedule they reacted by saying, “Yay!” and not “Oh shit!” Only seasoned showrunners, who know what to expect, say that. In their quest to get new ideas and new voices, the networks have favored development with…

    This is a first -- a live blog post. I'm on the Mariners train from New York to Boston. The team won today so I get to ride inside and not on the cow catcher. At the moment we're stopped somewhere near New Haven to let another train pass. I'll be pissed if it's the Yankees. As for the scenery -- picture the French countryside with landfills. But there's something romantic about a baseball team traveling by train. Oh for the days of club cars and Babe Ruth vomiting into spittoons! Going to sign off now. The train has started up again. And I've got a movie to watch. I hope Unstoppable is good.

In a Tuesday night appearance on "Conan," the always-incendiary comedian responded to recent allegations Mitt Romney was something of a bully during his prep school days. Initially, Maher expressed indifference to the stories about Romney's adolescent antics.

    NEW YORK -- Coming off a season in which it finished first in viewers and made gains in all key demographics, CBS unveiled a fall schedule that features just four new shows but does take some risks by relocating a couple of established hits. "We have one goal, that is just to continue making hit TV shows," said CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler. In a subtle dig at critics who often praise low-rated shows on other broadcast and cable channels and dismiss CBS' popular shows, Tassler said, "We don't get confused, we don't get sidetracked," and added that…

The new shows, which CBS executives outlined to reporters at a breakfast in New York on Wednesday morning, are: "Vegas," a drama about the clashes between a sheriff and the mob during the 1960s; "Elementary," a dramatic update on the Sherlock Holmes story; "Made in New Jersey," a drama about a new lawyer caught between classes; and,…

    For those not familiar with auteur theory, the idea is that what you see on screen is the director’s vision and that the director is responsible for everything in the film or television and that input from others is minimal. The theory is debated, to say the least. What does this have to do with Doctor Who? Well, if you subscribe to the theory, despite the input he had into classic 70s tales The Green Death and Colony In Space, Michael E. Briant is very much a niche name in Doctor Who fandom. Whether out of a sense of frustration that he’s not recognised enough or just because he…

    Quick spoilers for the season finale of Smash below: …and so Smash concludes its first season as it began, wildly applauding for itself. The season-ender (NBC has announced the show will return in midseason next year) wrapped up the Karen-or-Ivy question by declaring itself Team Karen, and, apparently, assuming that we all were too.

    4 May 2012 | 2:01 pm
    I just saw the press release announcing the new Celebrity Dating Show called The Choice and hosted by the beautiful Cat Deeley. You can see how they’ve stolen a bit of The Voice and merged it with half a dozen other dating shows on TV. Should be fun to watch if they can get some good celebrities. Plus, I think the shock value will be good if they don’t tell the contestants that they’ll be matching with celebrities. Plus, I’m always in for watching for of Cat Deeley on TV. Here’s the full release for The Choice on Fox debuting Thursday, June 7 (9:00-10:00 PM…

  • What if Michelle Obama Had a Political TV Talk Show?

    Chris Ariens

    France’s new first lady is familiar to many in France, but not because she’s been on the arm of France’s incoming president for 7 years, it’s because she’s been on television at least that long. The New York Times catches up with Valérie Trierweiler, the twice divorced companion of Pres. François Hollande. Trierweiler has worked as a political journalist for Paris Match and, later, on TV on the privately-owned network Direct 8. And she plans to be the first French first lady to keep her day job. Which means covering the Hollande presidency, which seems to be…

Unveiled today, the list is compiled based on earnings as well as TV, press, web and social rankings. So while JLo took home a healthy $52 million last year, that’s chump change compared to Glenn Beck, who, while #23 on the list, is #11 (tied with Elton John) in pay, taking home an estimated $80 million, more than Leonardo DiCaprio ($37M), Brad Pitt ($25) and Julia Roberts ($16M) combined. Beck moves up seven spots from last year’s list. And if you haven’t…

    In this episode of The Fringe Podcast we discuss part 2 of the season 4 finale, "Brave New World." We start out the episode by playing clips from a round table interview we did with Leonard Nimoy and hear his thoughts on Fringe and why he decided to come out of retirement for this role. We also share our thoughts on the episode as a whole, the death of Olivia, Olivia's powers, Olivia's pregnancy and her possible loss of cortexiphan powers. We also discuss the Observers, William Bell's disappearance, the acting and directing of the episode, AND we just might settle up on a couple of banana…

  • Fringe Review: Brave New World, Part II

    Josie Kafka
    12 May 2012 | 3:16 am
    Fringe finales are usually remarkable works of art: emotionally affecting, scientifically (and delightfully) improbable, mythologically fascinating. This finale was not remarkable, merely good. It is more interesting to wonder what will happen next than to consider what has just happened. The plan to collapse two universes in order to create a third—the plan we had briefly attributed to Jones, but now know is Bell’s—requires a massive energy source: Olivia. Her increased superpowers are the result of being dosed with more Cortexiphan and jump-started by recent events. The power that has…

    Post-mortem is especially appropriate, given the events of the season (fortunately not series) finale. The episode was very nearly perfect, tying up so many loose ends: What Bell did to Olivia What September meant when he told Olivia in every foreseeable future, she had to die Why & how September was shot Why Walter had part of his brain cut out How kickass Olivia’s cortexiphan-enhanced abilities really were I still feel as if the LSD episode of last season where Olivia calmly eats toast while saying the guy in the blimp was the man who kills her is somewhat unresolved, and we…

We could be talking about Steve McGarrett, as actor Alex O’Loughlin returned to CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 this week after missing two episodes to undergo rehab from prescription painkillers. Or we could mean Wo Fat (Mark Dacascos), the mysterious villain who takes any episode up a notch. Season 2, Episode 22 begins with a double whammy and doesn’t let up from there. It starts with McGarrett leading an Interpol SWAT team into an Asian hotel room, where Wo Fat sits on a couch waiting. In the bathroom, the SWAT team finds a gory, blood-spattered…

We open with an over achieving high school student, Kevin, who is very regimented about his cello playing and studying for his exams to get into Princeton. He seems to be deficient in the essay part of applying to college, so there’s that (no one’s perfect). Meanwhile, our intrepid Winchesters begin chip, chip chippin’ away at the Very Important chunk of rock they shenanigan-ed out from under Dick in the previous episode,…

    By Stu Robinson, CBS presented its much-hyped “crossover” episodes of Hawaii Five-0 and NCIS: Los Angeles this week. Meh. The biggest accomplishment of the exercise was to paper over the continued absence of Five-0 leader Steve McGarrett while actor Alex O’Loughlin underwent drug treatment. Filling the gap was the marvelous rapper-turned-actor LL Cool J (Ladies Love Cool James) who, as NCIS agent Sam Hanna, brings the special-forces swagger and lets H50 actor Scott Caan get back to being Danno. Hanna gamely needles Danno for being uptight, ridicules his driving and picks the…

    NBC’s latest season of The Voice debuted following the Super Bowl, aiming for the bored American Idol fans, yearning for a talent competition that doesn’t bother focusing on the negative side of singing auditions. The Voice prides itself on delivering “blind auditions,” which allow the judges—Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton—to judge talent on voice alone, rather than looks or stage presence. During the post-Super Bowl premiere, one such talent took the stage, wowing the judges with his singing “Because We Believe,”…

    I’m not one to create “best of” lists or wax poetic about my favorite things, mostly because I have a high threshold for amazement. There were plenty of great moments in 2011, but I find that the best way to reflect on a year in entertainment is to analyze major award nominations. So, my “best of” list for Hollywood films this year has taken the shape of my votes for the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

For those that grew up without access to MTV, VH1, or any other music television outlet prone to replaying holiday music videos on a 24-hour cycle following Thanksgiving, Band Aid was a charity group created by Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 to raise money for poverty in Ethiopia.

Coming to a theater near you on August 24th, Hit and Run is an action-comedy starring Shepard as a man whose past catches up to him when he least expects it… sort of.

    Camelot hardly needs any introduction at this point, unless it’s aimed at those who have to this point dismissed the classic status of the musical, but I’m going to give it one anyway. Built from the Lerner and Loewe production, and now celebrating its 45th Anniversary, it is one of the best musicals to ever grace the big screen. Somewhat surprisingly, among musicals (and classics for that matter) it actually holds up rather well insofar as its ability to engage new audiences. The story of King Arthur, specifically with “The Once and Future King” as inspiration (and it…

From the directors of Little Miss Sunshine, and starring the long under-appreciated Paul Dano, this quirky number looks like a surefire hit for the right audience. Chiefly, all of you who let out a little, “Awwww,” when you saw Little Miss Sunshine. It has clear connections to other films, but it looks to manage its own spin on things, and singles out love as its talking point. I wouldn’t be surprised if this one finds itself somewhere on my best of the…

Of course, the movie lends itself well to the adventure format, and gives us an easy road to shooting arrows while moving along on our quest. Still, I think gamers will be able to recognize elements that are revealed in the trailers that give a strong idea of what’s going on in the game, and how the gameplay will mesh with the adventure.

  • Class Up Your Den With This ‘Anchorman 2′ Teaser Poster

    16 May 2012 | 10:29 am
    Oh, great Odin’s raven! By the Hammer of Thor! You’re my boy, Blue! I drive a Dodge Stratus!! I ended up doing that wrong. Anyhow, while we patiently wait with our hands folded for the Anchorman 2 teaser trailer to power-slide its way online, we’ll have to make due with this teaser poster. As you can see, the Channel 4 news team has reassembled. Or at least their lower halves have. Actually, it looks like two of the guys only have one leg each now. So I can safely say that 37.5% of the Channel 4 news team has reassembled. Even so, I’m impressed. Those are nice…

    I’m guessing Ben Kingsley has seen some shit in his life, but the look that pops up on his face when Flula does his spastic introduction sets the tone for this entire video, filmed during The Dictator junket. While Sir Ben seems to just hang back and watch it all unfold, co-star Jason Mantzoukas goes all in to help our Flula be the best comedian he can be. When he’s not mangling idioms, Flula can be found making obscure references to “Sister Greta” and Throw Momma From The Train. Oh, and if you make it to the end, you get Anna Faris, who’s way better looking…

  • There Will Probably Be A(nother) ‘Godfather’ Prequel Whether You Want One Or Not

    You know how, 20 years after The Godfather Part III, everyone’s been all, “I wish they go back to that well to give us some more Corleone family stories?” Shut up. People DID say that. Lots of them. And Paramount is going to give the people what they want. After the release of the Puzo-outlined The Family Corleone this week, it seems that Paramount and Puzo’s estate have reached a truce that has resulted in “an attraction to do a movie.” The novel focuses on the Corleone’s rise to power, but presumably not in the exact same way that Godfather Part II…

    Penn Collins
    15 May 2012 | 12:37 pm
    While most of their upfront news was released over the weekend, NBC has one ace up its sleeve that it wanted to lay down all cool and nonchalantly before reaching in to the middle of the table and taking down the pot. That smooth move is this: “HEY GUYS! YOU LIKE PIRATES, REMEMBER? WE’VE GOT A SHOW ABOUT PIRATES FOR YOU!” And so was announced Crossbones, a 10-episode pickup of a show about pirates in the 1800′s. In true NBC fashion, Crossbones will be going up against another pirate series that will air on Starz and will be produced by Michael Bay. NBC’s is…

It was 1762 when John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, ordered beef served between slices of bread, a request that would become a global convenience meal in thousands of different forms. According to the British Sandwich Association, Montagu asked for the meal so that he could eat while continuing to play cards while his…

    The nonsense drama continues this week on the season four finale of 90210, as everyone begins to accept the challenges of turning 40. Wait, wrong show. No, actually, right show. Naomi (Annalynne McCord) is a cougar, back on the prowl. Her desire to get back into Max’s pants heart is the big storyline this week. This is all she’s ever wanted…for the past 24 hours, yet for some reason everyone keeps walking around saying “I always totally thought that Max and Naomi would end up together.” Was this before or after Naomi cheated on Max with the cowboy a year ago, or when she was getting…

They did not pick the actress that I’d want playing Marilyn. But the actress that did play her actually kicked ass, and she was a wonderful Marilyn. Let’s start from the top. The episodes opens with Tom & Julia finally finishing the song for the new ending – just 15 minutes before the show starts. And then we see everyone wishing the actress playing Marilyn good luck, but we don’t see her face. Let’s…

    My gut reaction when learning that HBO is developing a comedy set in the Wall Street culture of the 1980s, fronted by big name talents Rob Riggle, Mark Wahlberg, and Will Ferrell (along with big-in-comedy circles names Adam McKay and Chris Henchy) was, "Sounds pretty good, will definitely check it out when it makes air." Then I mulled for a moment, and the bigger picture thought came along: television is now every bit as important than film. I actually grew up in the 1980s (a fact that increasingly makes me sound and feel old), and beyond the coke-fueled hedonism (which for me was more like a…
