From Arrow To 666 Park Avenue: Fall TV’s Most Promising Eye Candy
17 May 2012 12:40 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
We’re going to leave it up to the pundits to predict which of the many new shows presented at this week’s network upfronts will rise to the top come fall TV season. All we know is, we may have re-watched the clip of Stephen Amell doing pull-ups in the CW’s Arrow about 10 times this morning. (Sorry, lost count.) Point is, there are a whole lot of new faces for us to ogle — and about as many returning ones we’ve been longing for — on the schedules that were announced this week.
12►
What the hell is going on at 666 Park Avenue (ABC’s new drama)? We can only tell that Vanessa Williams is still devilishly hot, and Dave Annable and Rachael Taylor have the kind of sex appeal that might entice us to sell our souls too. We are squealing with delight at the return of Felicity boys »

Examining NBC’s Fall 2012 Schedule
16 May 2012 5:44 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
I’m fascinated by the current state of NBC. Last among the four major networks. Kept from the very bottom by dynasty deals like the NFL and the Olympics. A shell of its former self still propping up Jay Leno for chuckles every night. But I don’t look at the wilted Peacock with schadenfreude, like many do. Instead, it’s with sadness and nostalgia. What happened?
As an ’80s kid, I grew up watching NBC’s Saturday morning block, “Saved by the Bell,” “Alf,” Cosby, and Will Smith before he was Will Smith. The national news in our house was delivered by Tom Brokaw. I watched Michael Jordan dominate the NBA on NBC. There’s an easy joke in here about “Diff’rent Strokes” and “Baywatch.” In high school and college, we’d gather around episodes of “Friends,” “Scrubs,” “The West Wing,” and other “must see TV.” Conan O »

The Four New TV Shows We Can't Wait To See
16 May 2012 3:30 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
With the big reveal of CBS' 2012-2013 primetime schedule, all of the major networks have revealed which of their current shows will be back in the fall and which ones are being sent to the television graveyard as well as which pilots will be premiering this fall.
We have to say, we're pretty pleased with how things panned out. After a tense, touch-and-go couple of days "Parks and Recreation" and "Happy Endings" got their expected pick-ups, and favorites "Modern Family" and "30 Rock," albeit for a truncated final season, will also be back when the leaves start to turn.
(We're not exactly in love with the idea of two cycles of "The Voice" – part of that show's appeal was that it was neither overextended nor played out and a non-stop, yearlong run puts that in danger – but we'll deal.)
We've also got Louis C.K.'s brilliant "Louie" returning to FX in June, »

'Chicago Fire' to 'Hannibal': A grand unified theory of NBC's new shows for 2012-13
15 May 2012 1:36 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
So we're in the swing upfronts week, and after the blizzard of news Monday (May 14), we settle in to watch the trailers for NBC's very large slate of new series. And somewhere between "Chicago Fire" and "The New Normal," a pattern starts to emerge.
Yes, all these shows are on the same network, but could there be something more? We dig deeper. Suddenly we're like the little boy on "Touch" (which, Ok, is on Fox, but go with us here for a minute), seeing patterns where most people just see randomness. Surely it's a sign of something -- perhaps nothing more than having been up since 5 a.m., but maybe ... there's more. Consider:
"Chicago Fire" introduces us to characters who are dealing with the loss of one of their own a month earlier. So does ...
"Go On," in which we learn Matthew Perry's character lost his wife a month ago. »

'Animal Practice': Justin Kirk and Crystal the Monkey meet Ice-t
15 May 2012 12:04 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Unfortunately for the talented and handsome Justin Kirk, star of NBC's new sitcom "Animal Practice," he is forever doomed to be upstaged by his newest costar. Why? She's the scene-stealing Crystal the Monkey from "The Hangover Part II," and is quite possibly the most adorable thing we've ever laid eyes on.
Zap2it started to speak to Kirk about the series, but once Crystal came into the picture it was hard to focus on anything else. Especially after "Law & Order: Svu" stars Ice-t and Dann Florek stop by.
"You are very pretty," Florek says after he and Ice greet Kirk. "Well dressed monkey," says Ice before they move along.
After the encounter, Kirk admits that he's already accepted that Crystal will steal the show from now on. "As you can tell, this is my entree to pretty much everything now in the world," he says.
We try to get back to discussing the show, »

NBC Reveals Its Fall 2012-13 Schedule
14 May 2012 3:47 PM, PDT | IMDb Television Blog | See recent IMDb Television Blog news »
Upfronts, the week during which the broadcast networks present their schedules for the coming season to advertisers, is in full swing in New York. First to unveil its primetime line-up for 2012-2013 is NBC, which hosted a live presentation of its new series on Monday morning.
Coming in the fall are four new comedies, including the Matthew Perry vehicle “Go On,” “The New Normal,” “Animal Practice” (which stars Justin Kirk of “Weeds“) and “Guys with Kids,” as well as two dramas: “Revolution,” from executive producer J.J. Abrams, and “Chicago Fire,” from E.P. Dick Wolf. Granting a boost to the new line-up is the addition of a fall cycle of NBC’s… »

Matthew Perry's return and Ryan Murphy's 'New Normal': First impressions of NBC's 2012-13 comedies
14 May 2012 12:41 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
When NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke described NBC's new series for the 2012-2013 season as "broad, accessible, smart, attention-getting shows" during the network's upfront presentation at Radio City Music Hall on May 14, it wasn't immediately clear whether that was just a typical boast or not. But after watching clips of the Ryan Murphy-created "The New Normal," about a gay couple and the surrogate carrying their child, and the Matthew Perry-starring "Go On," about a widower and the crazy characters from his grief support group, we think she might be right.
Even though those are NBC's cornerstone comedies for the new year, they're emotional, progressive and heartwarming. Salke and NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt and could've harped on the progressiveness and acceptance of their new shows, but they didn't -- they just focused on the fact that they think they're well-written and funny. While that remains to be seen, »

'Animal Practice': Justin Kirk and Bobby Lee horse around in new NBC comedy
14 May 2012 12:03 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
W.C. Fields famously said, "Never work with animals or children." Well, NBC is bucking at least half of that recommendation with their upcoming series "Animal Practice," and it looks like it could be the right move.
The just picked up comedy stars Justin Kirk as Dr. George Coleman, the top veterinarian in New York. The conflict comes in when the good doctor's new boss is his old flame. The show also features Tyler Labine and Bobby Lee.
Check out the extended trailer. It may feature the best use of a monkey since Marcel on "Friends." Plus, who doesn't like watching turtle racing.
"Animal Practice" will air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Et. »

Well, this could be different. While Fox won't announce their fall schedule until about the time you're reading this, rumor is that they'll be moving Glee to Thursdays to make Tuesday all sitcoms, and giving Glee an American Idol lead-in for at least part of the year.
The Avengers racked up over $100 million this weekend, which has never been done before by a film on its second weekend. That puts the gross globally over the billion dollar mark. The poorly reviewed Dark Shadows was a bust, at least for a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration, bring in a mere $29 million.
Bob Greenblatt made some risky moves with his schedule over at NBC, but he does seem to have a plan, launching shows like Revolution (looks fascinating) after The Voice on Mondays, and giving Ryan Murphy's The New Normal the Tuesday post-The Voice launch, which hopefully makes it a hit. »
