simoncowell081105

  • 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!

is:

omg...did you see how many readers you have? 1143!!!! Way to go TVgasm!!!!

Lady J:

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.

jameswoods:

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.

British:

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!"

The Dogg Pound:

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! West Coast people will understand soon enough.

Vesper:

616 people are reading tvgasm right now. A year ago, it was 7 or 8 most of the time. Congratulations guys!
