NBC has plans for a long, uncomfortable summer

by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 13th 2007 4:05PM

Biggest LoserNBC may have canceled Andy Barker, P.I., The Black Donnellys, and (probably) Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, but they seem to have a hard on for reality shows, and more are coming this summer.

Returning reality shows include America's Got Talent, which has a new host ... Jerry Springer. Expect the throwing of chairs and DNA tests to be "talents" this season, which starts May 29. The Biggest Loser, which returns for a fourth season late in the summer with new host Allison Sweeney (Days Of Our Lives). It still amazes me that a show about fat people losing weight can be a hit and last for four seasons. Before The Biggest Loser returns, we'll get another season of Last Comic Standing, which will also have a new host, Bill Bellamy. It returns on June 13. And then we have the new show Age of Love, a "new twist on the reality dating show format" (yeah, right). It will be hosted by Mark Consuelos.

This just shows us how accurate Studio 60 was, with that whole plot involving the new VP of alternative programming at NBS pitching a show titled All You Need Is Love. NBC says that Age of Love will be "bringing romance back to television." Oh, I can hardly wait.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: Monday

Studio 60, judging from your comments, I'm gonna say most of you will ignore that applause sign..(S01E12) I guess this is the love episode. From the reality show that our new character Hailey was pitching to the ever-complicated Matt/Harriet relationship to the starting-to-be-creepy Danny/Jordan relationship to the we're-all-rooting-for-it-to-work Tom/Lucy relationship, it seemed the stage has been set for some major romantic doings in the coming weeks.

First Danny/Jordan: I mentioned in a previous post how much I loved Danny telling Jordan to start running because he was "coming for her". I thought it side-stepped the forced sexual tension that every show in the history of television has had. Well, let me say this: I spoke too soon.

The Prisoner: Fall Out (series finale)

by Michael Sciannamea, posted Sep 6th 2006 5:36PM

Patrick McGoohan as (S01E17) The final episode of The Prisoner is arguably the most controversial and confusing finale to a television series ever filmed. If you've been watching the episodes over time and think you're going to get some sort of resolution with this final portion of the story, think again. I've viewed this series a number of times over the years and, frankly, I still don't totally get what Fall Out was all about.
