Warner Bros. was trying to be a bit experimental. They were going to try selling new shows they were producing such as Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and others on their own online retail site. They hit a speedbump in the shape of at least four broadcast networks, though. Seems those networks believe people have such strong associations with the network they're shown on that they didn't want people ...

According to a new study from Brandimensions, the new show with the most buzz leading into the Fall TV season is Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. That conclusion was drawn from a monitoring of online discussions and mentions. A bit over 22 percent of those, the study says, were relating to Studio 60. So almost a quarter of the online discussions regarding the upcoming TV season involved in some way ...

Responding to a fine of $3.3 million from the Federal Communications Commission, CBS has said that none of the complaints regarding a recent episode of Without A Trace came from actual viewers. The network says that all of the 4,200-plus complaints labeling the episode as "indecent" came from the Parents Television Council and American Family Association, two socially conservative advocacy groups. ...

I'm taking this story with a grain of salt, but if true it's pretty funny. While vacationing at a ski resort, 24 star Keifer Sutherland was approached by someone who said they worked for the CIA. That person told him his portrayal of uber-efficient (and seriously sleep-deprived) Bauer had set expectations for CIA operatives too high. Seems the agent's mother had remarked to him that he should be ...

(S05E24) We pick up right where we left off in the last episode. J.D. is celebrating the arrival of Spring and all the things that go with it, including the annual appearance of Dr. Kelso in shorts, showing off his surprisingly youthful and muscular legs. He'll show off his amazing vertical leap at a baby shower Elliot throws for Turk and Carla in the hospital cafeteria later on. At the shower Dr. ...

(S05E23) Elliot thinks her relationship with Keith (which at the start kind of creeped me out and then...well...it still creeped me out) might be over. This is very distressing to Carla, who is suffering from an excess of hormones as she gets more and more pregnant. Elliot thinks Keith is weak, largely because he seems to get trampled on every day by Dr. Cox and other interns. Carla even goes so ...

(S05E22) First off, I love the title. It actually had me chuckling when I saw it on the Tivo screen and before I even started watching it. The episode itself was good, a solid double that almost got stretched for a triple. Once again, J.D. was not the driving force behind the plot but more of a spectator to events happening around him. The central premise was that if you stay somewhere long ...

Page Six is reporting (I keep looking at that and still can't believe I typed it) that Star Jones is being shown the door by Barbara Walters and the producers of The View. Jones' departure was apparently one of the conditions of Rosie O'Donnell joining the show, a condition Walters and other knew and agreed to when they were courting O'Donnell. Jones' agents are denying the host is on her way out ...

(S05E21) I (and the rest of you, I think) often judge whether an episode of Scrubs is good or not by how outrageous the comedy is. The show has definitely built a reputation for being wacky and surreal and that's the yardstick that's used to decide whether or not that episode succeeded and is firing on all eight cylinders. In a way that's unfair. There are a lot of extremely talented actors on the ...

(S05E19) J.D. is locked in a water tank for most of this episode, but not before he passes on the gift of voiceover narration to The Janitor. One of the major - and funniest - plots of the episode is Dr. Cox's constant questioning of just how hip and funky Turk is. Mediocre basketball skills, a group of hopelessly unhip friends and a host of other characteristics all combine to have Cox remind ...
