  • Stephen Bochco to develop a police drama for The WB. Finally. Something fresh. [Variety]
  • Oh yeah. Stephen Bochco to develop a legal drama for Fox too. This guy is on a roll. What’s next? A medical drama? Can’t wait! [Hollywood Reporter]
  • The Sopranos next season might be longer than ever before. Don’t they tell us this every year? [Hollywood Reporter via Yahoo]
  • Some ungrateful orphans are suing Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The article is a bit vague as to why, but I think it’s because they’ve been traumatized by Ty Pennington’s soul-patch. I could be wrong though. [AP]
  • Simon Cowell and ABC are getting sued too. Their upcoming reality show, The Big Idea, allegedly ripped off some people from Minnesota. Their reality show: The Big Idea, Ya? [E! Online via Yahoo]
  • Speaking of ABC, Mountain Wind and Little Big Bear and Burning Feces took a break as Brat Camp was preempted last night for a Peter Jennings tribute. The special raked in over nine million viewers, coming in first place. [Hollywood Reporter]

    When I lived in Minnesota, I watched that Million Dollar Idea show a few times. It was poorly produced, but there were some really great ideas!

    That Extreme Makeover lawsuit kills me. That episode was so touching. I really loved Mr. Leomiti, he was so caring about the Higgins kids. And now they’re all living “with friends.”

    Terrible.

    Extremely vague….and even if the Leomiti’s kicked the orphans out(like the orphans were used to get a mansion built for the Leomiti’s – if we think the worst)why could EM-home edition get sued? That makes no sense.

    Word on the newsgroups is that Rodeo show with kids of semi-famous people is a hoot.

    Robert Blake’s son was competing in a team in something, and won. He trash talked them with the worst possible line ever for being the son of Robert Blake: “We murdered you guys!”
