  • Maybe to atone for hiring Mario Lopez and Nick Lachey, ESPN and ESPN2 will be giving away 100 HDTVs. Where do I sign up? [Mediaweek]
  • CBS gets fresh like (unh) Impala (unh). The network will imbed the Chevrolet Impala logo in its premiere week lineup AND give away one every night. Take THAT, ESPN HDTV giveaway! Stupid Mario Lopez… [Mediaweek]
  • In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, ABC pulls the promos for Invasion, a sci-fi show about the aftermath of, er, a hurricane. Now it’s just a really bad windstorm. [Reuters]
  • Stop the presses!! Reba has been delayed for a salary dispute! I’m sure this will really upset all five of its viewers in Tennessee. [Variety]

    … but apparently filming for “Category 7 – End of the World” goes on.

    It’s apparently a follow up to the “smash hit” “Category 6 – Day of Destruction.”

    Re: Invasion

    I live in Florida, and even before Katrina hit I thought the premise of this show was was in bad taste -after our summer of canes last year – but gosh in light of Katrina it’s just not right at alllllll.
