FOX to offer Sarah Connor Chronicles marathon this August
It's a rare thing when one of the major networks takes up an hour of its schedule almost every single night of the week to air the same show, but that's exactly what FOX is going to do this August.
The network is going to run a marathon of the first season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles starting on Sunday, August 10 at 9pm. Then the other episodes from the first season, in order, will air at 9pm on August 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 24. The two-hour second season premiere then airs on September 8 at 8pm.
Teen Choice Awards air in August
Are you a teenager? Do you like choosing things? Okay, good, because Teen Choice 2007 airs on FOX August 26 at 8:00 p.m., and we need to make sure you're at home that evening to see what series, celebrities and movies your contemporaries have chosen.
Teens have been choosing things for years. I myself have chosen my own adventure, Chosen or Losened (I'll check the dictionary to see if that's a real word later), and I've spoken to choosy moms who choose Jif. I've also had choice cuts of meat, and chosen Pikachu on numerous occasions.
Nominees and hosts for Teen Choice 2007 will be announced soon, but that's not important. What's important is that all you hula-hoopin', Charleston-dancin', domino-playin' teens out there start using your God-given right to choose. Or, more importantly, let your peers decide for you what's cool. Otherwise, you'll show up at your next ice cream social without a poodle skirt and then you'll look really stupid.
The WB to burn off eps of Just Legal in August
For the three people who were fans of last fall's WB bomb Just Legal, which was cancelled after three episodes, you can now rest easy; the soon-to-be-defunct network has decided to burn off the remaning five episodes of the show. According to this article on The Futon Critic, the network will show the pilot, then the unaired episodes, every Sunday at 7 PM ET starting August 6.I guess they're showing the pilot to remind everyone what the show was about. I can give it to you in eight words: Don Johnson. Old lawyer. Young lawyer. Wackiness ensues. There. Now you can free up another summer Sunday and go to the beach.
SVU's Mariska Hargitay gives birth to a boy -- UPDATE!
As we reported earlier this week, Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay gave birth to a boy on Tuesday, June 28th. We've now learned that she and her husband, actor Peter Hermann, named their son 'August'. He was born by c-section a week after his due date. Baby August weighed in at 10 pounds, 9 ounces.A rep tells People magazine, "Mother and baby are doing wonderfully. She is ecstatic--over the moon." Her website also has the announcement, but no photo.
The Simpsons season eight out August 15
Well, it's time to start shifting all my DVDs over again to make room for yet another Simpsons collection. According to TVShowsOnDVD (via ToonZone), the eighth season of the show will be out on August 15. Like the last two sets, this one will also come in a "head case," this time shaped like Maggie's head. If you're like me and prefer something more "shelf friendly" you can also purchase the less fancy regular-shaped box.
Death Clock Metalocalypse teaser
If you never saw Home Movies, you missed one of the best shows to hit
the airwaves in the last several years, animated or otherwise. The show fared okay on Adult Swim for a short time,
after being rescued from UPN, but viewers gravitated toward weirder shows like Space Ghost and Aqua
Teen, leaving Home Movies to eventually whither and fall off the vine. Well, as I mentioned before, creator
Brendon Small is bringing a new show to Adult Swim in August called Death Clock Metalocalypse. The new
show is about a world-famous death metal band and may seem a far cry from Small's other show about a shy but
quick-witted kid who makes movies with his friends, but Small's love of RAWK was evident even on that
show, especially in the form of older kid Dwayne and his garage band. Death Clock Metalocalypse sounds like
the perfect mix of over-the-top, ear-busting chord thrashing mixed with the same dry and subtle humor as his earlier
work. YouTube has an extended teaser for the new series, which you can watch after the jump. I've seen segments of this
teaser on Adult Swim, but I'm not sure if they've ever played the whole thing or not. Enjoy, regardless.Tale Spin and Darkwing Duck coming to DVD
In August, two of my favorite after school cartoons from my middle school
days will be coming out on DVD. Darkwing
Duck, a sorta spin-off of Duck Tales which focused on an undercover crime-fighting duck who
fought a menagerie of villains a la Dick Tracy, is tentatively set for an August 29 release. In addition, Tale Spin, which took some of the characters from
The Jungle Book and made them part of a global delivery service led by Baloo the Bear, will also be released in late
August, though we don't know what the exact release date of that will be, either. Actually, I'm not sure how much I
ever really got into Tale Spin, I think it was just part of the block of shows I watched. I loved Darkwing
Duck, however, and always found it to be quite clever.TV Squad Hot Topics
