Many bands have made appearances on teen dramas. Just last night Lifehouse (ewww) played at Smallville's prom night. Well The O.C. Is the hippest show on TV when it comes to soundtracks and they'll have the hippest band ever to grace a teen drama when Death Cab For Cutie stops by during tonight's episode. This article points to The Flaming Lips doing Beverly Hills 90210 as the barometer for ...

Reports are coming out of Hollywood that ABC's Primetime Live, an “investigative” news program, is looking into the relationships between Idol contestants and judges. There isn't much else leaked about the news program's angle but they are looking at a May sweeps timeslot to air the special. Could there be something foul afoot? Or will ABC just do another glowing special about ...

Despite some feelings the show has passed its prime, Will & Grace is still far superior to any new sitcom NBC has tried since Scrubs and NBC is looking to renew it. The agreement would be for a full season but NBC is looking to lower its licensing fees. This would reflect our stance that Will & Grace isn't as hot a property as it once was. Either way NBC could do much worse. ...

Much to my better half's dismay I'm back to watching Smallville. Hey, she gets American Idol I get some superhero TV. Last night's “prom” episode was a bit easy to see coming. The way the opening created a flashback for the episode to follow was a simple guide for any TV afficianado. The meteor rocks turn a bitchy teen queen into a body leaping ghost. Who hasn't seen that happen ...

Last night seeing the two groups of winners and losers it was refreshing to know America had voted correctly for once. Anwar, Anthony and Scott were all in the bottom three. While Anwar was hands down the most talented of the three, I'm not particularly sad to see him go. Although that means another week of listening to Scott and Anthony. I'm now even with my picks at three and three. But ...

It seems Revelations was more of a success than we originally thought. Its 15.6 million viewers last week was the most NBC has mustered against American Idol since a 2002 NBA Finals game. That's great news for NBC that doesn't have a lot of great news these days. I'm kind of interested to see if the dramatic commercials for tonight's second installment live up to the episode itself. Plus ...

USA Today takes a closer look at the new series Sci-Fi is launching and why the channel is doing so well these days. It turns out that their Friday line-up bested Star Trek: Enterprise and it's a cable channel. The shows that have us the most interested are John Ridley's Those Who Walk in Darkness, about a SWAT team that takes on super powered escapees. And Heroes Anonymous about a superhero ...

Kimberly Caldwell, the blonde Texan who couldn't beat out Ruben or Clay, is recording her debut record for Randy Jackson & Diane Warren's new label. Jackson admits to a more managerial role while Warren is handling the music. That's not a bad team for the whole pop singer thing. I'm wondering how many of these artists the market can handle though. The scarier tidbit in this article though ...

Fox will pit the final episode of Paris Hilton's Simple Life against the season finale of The Apprentice. We're not quite sure why they're making the move since they could easily have the Wednesday slot they have now, but instead they'll move to the more competitive Thursday (don't forget CSI) for their final three weeks. This will also piss off Tru Calling fans that have been screwed over ...

There is nothing more lame than American Idol quietly acknowledging how cheap it is by going with a disco theme night. They do it every year. See, what some folks don't understand is the show must get all kinds of rights to the songs performed before the contestants can sing them. Eventually, many may get rerecorded down the line, so Fox would be out a pretty penny if it went for the Rolling ...
