DVD Review: ‘Sports Night’ – The Complete Series 10th Anniversary Edition

17 June 2009 12:40 PM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news

There are few television shows that hold my interest past the pilot episode. When they do, they usually get cancelled because most networks can’t seem to identify quality programs without the help of their woefully misguided Neilsen system. In rare instances, such as the Family Guy and Futurama resurrections, a fantastic show gets canceled, then does so well on DVD, the network is forced to place it’s tail squarely between its legs and bring the show back to life. Sports Night was not one of these shows.

The year is 1998. ABC has Home Improvement, NYPD Blue, Ellen, Dharma and Drew. On Tuesday September 22, they premiere a little show-within-a-show called Sports Night.  The ensemble cast includes a few heavyweights, and several actors who earned their street cred long after Sports Night was running on Comedy Central at 3am.

The show centers around the cast and crew of a sports

CBS Renews ‘Cold Case,’ Picks Up ‘Medium,’ Cancels ‘Without a Trace’

20 May 2009 7:55 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news

Chicago – In a relatively shocking announcement as a part of fall schedule upfronts this week, CBS actually pulled the trigger on “Without a Trace,” a show that had reportedly gotten too expensive for the network. There were rumors that they may do the same with “Cold Case,” but that show will return with on-the-bubble shows “The New Adventures of Old Christine” and “Rules of Engagement” also being miraculously renewed and “Medium” being saved.

This Fall CBS adds the popular drama series Medium, starring Patricia Arquette, Fridays (9:00-10:00 Pm, Et/Pt), forming a hauntingly compatible two-hour block with Ghost Whisperer at 8:00 Pm.

Michelle Trachtenberg has 'Mercy' on NBC

24 March 2009 11:01 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

The latest round of casting news finds Michelle Trachtenberg, Scott Caan and Josh Charles landing key pilot leads on NBC, Fox and CBS. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Trachtenberg will play one of three central nurses on NBC's "Mercy." The trade tells us that Trachtenberg's character is "tragically unhip." The "Harriet the Spy" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" will reprise her role as uber-bitchy Georgina on "Gossip Girl" later this spring.

DVD Review: Gabriel Byrne Shines in HBO’s Epic ‘In Treatment’

24 March 2009 11:35 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news

DVD Rating: 3.5/5.0 Chicago – Like therapy itself, HBO’s “In Treatment” requires a commitment. The award-winning program aired from Monday to Friday on HBO for nearly nine weeks and took up forty-three episodes. If you’re starting from the beginning of “In Treatment,” you will need to clear approximately 1,290 minutes of your schedule. Don’t go in half-heartedly.

At its best, “In Treatment” has a fly-on-the-wall quality that will nearly make you squeamish. It’s like sitting in on someone else’s therapy session. Every episode features another real-time session with a different patient of Dr. Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne), culminating in the last episode of the week comprising Paul’s own session with his therapist.

In Treatment was released on DVD on March 24th, 2009.

On Mondays, we join Dr. Weston with Laura (Michelle George), a young doctor who has fallen in love with her shrink

Former Darkman Talks After.Life

21 January 2009 | From shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news

Actor Liam Neeson tells Sci-Fi Wire that After.Life , the supernatural thriller he stars in with Christina Ricci, has wrapped is on track for an October release. "I'm a funeral director, and I'm preparing a body, which happens to be Christina Ricci's," he says, "and she opens her eyes. I tell her, 'You're dead.' She says, 'I'm not dead.' I say, 'You are dead.' So you're not sure if it's a kind of a supernatural thriller or if this guy is a mass murderer. That's basically it in a nutshell." Well, okay then. Fortunately, there are two other actors who joins this little mystery: Justin Long and Josh Charles. After.Life was once a vehicle for Kate Bosworth before Ricci stepped in. Agnieszka Vosloo writes and directs.
