Blu-Ray Review: First Two Seasons of ‘Lost’ Finally Available in HD
18 June 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news
Chicago – A majority of people who watch television in HD would cite ABC’s “Lost” as having the highest quality broadcast on television from a technical level but the first two seasons were only available in standard definition. Until now. J.J. Abrams’ mysterious island and its residents look absolutely amazing in HD and now fans can catch up with the first two seasons of “Lost”.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0 There are a few franchises that simply do TV on DVD better than others - “The Simpsons,” “24,” and, of course, “Lost” stand among the best. With fantastic special features and gorgeous transfers, these shows aren’t just documents of a program’s original broadcast, they stand on their own and enhance the show instead of just giving viewers an opportunity to watch it again.
The first four season releases of “Lost” have been among the most acclaimed in the history of standard DVD

The Unusuals: ABC Cancels Cop Dramady, No Season Two
18 May 2009 9:36 AM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news
ABC won't be making its official announcement until tomorrow but the axe has already fallen for midseason's The Unusuals.
The dramady revolves around a dysfunctional but effective group of New York City cops. The series features the talents of Amber Tamblyn, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau, Joshua Close, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Kai Lennox, Terry Kinney, Adam Goldberg, Ryan O'Nan, Ian Kahn, Kat Foster, Heather Burns, Robert Funaro, and George Aloi.
The ABC show debuted on April 8th to a disappointing 6.83 million viewers and a 2.1/6 rating/share of the 18-49 demographic. The following week, the numbers fell to 6.01 million and a 1.8/5. The network tried a different timeslot but the numbers were worse and subsequently fell to a terrible 4.74 million and a 1.4/4.
Though ABC really wanted to find a new cop drama, it became pretty clear that this one wasn't going to be it. The network has opted to cancel The Unusuals rather

The Unusuals Won't Do Time on ABC's Fall Schedule
17 May 2009 7:31 PM, PDT | From TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide.com - Breaking News news
When it comes to ABC's fall plans, to paraphrase Tom Jones, "It's not Unusuals."
The quirky cop dramedy, which premiered this spring and starred such familiar faces as Amber Tamblyn (Joan of Arcadia) and Harold Perrineau (Lost), will not be back for a second shift after wrapping its current run.
"Friends, just heard The Unusuals will not be back ...

Want More ‘Lost’? Here Are Comics-Friendly Projects Where You Can Find The Cast!
14 May 2009 10:31 AM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news
Season Five of “Lost” went out with a bang (or lack thereof) last night, leaving many fans wondering where they’re going to get their fix of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke and the rest of the mysterious island’s inhabitants between now and the 2010 season. With a cast and filmmakers that have never shied away from projects close to comics fans’ hearts (and in the case of Brian K. Vaughan, began their careers in comics), the series has carved out a niche for itself in the geek scene that will be sorely missed in the months until its sixth (and final) season kicks off.
But fear not, folks. Here’s a breakdown of some other places you can find your favorite people from the island in and around the world of comics-related fare, from starring roles to blink-and-you-miss-it cameos.

23 April 2009 1:55 PM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news
Cementing their reputation for scooping up beloved cancelled series, DirecTV has announced that they're going to be airing two more; Deadwood and Oz.
Deadwood is centered around an outlaw camp in the Old West. The HBO series was nominated for 22 Emmy Awards and won seven in its all too-brief 36 episode, three season run. The drama showcases the talents of thespians like Timothy Olyphant, Ian McShane, Molly Parker, Brad Dourif, W. Earl Brown, John Hawkes, Paula Malcomson, Dayton Callie, Leon Rippy, William Sanderson, Robin Weigert, Sean Bridgers, and Bree Seanna Wall. HBO committed to produce a pair of movies to wrap up the series but they never materialized.
Oz gives viewers a look into the harsh and often horrific world of the Oswald State Correctional Facility. The series ran for six seasons and 56 episodes on HBO. The large cast includes Kirk Acevedo, Ernie Hudson, Terry Kinney, Rita Moreno, Harold Perrineau, J.K. Simmons,

Should “Lost” be a Lead-in Drama?
21 April 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | From TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news
“The Unusuals” is ABCs quirky new cop drama, but it hasn’t done very well so far in the ratings, despite good reviews. The new series is on Wednesday nights following “Lost” and even features Lost alum Harold Perrineau as Detective Leo Banks (it also stars Jeremy Renner and Adam Goldberg). The Alphabet Net seems to be making a valiant effort for the new show, airing two new episodes this week, and pre-empting “Cupid“, to help it find it’s audience. But if…

TV Guide Network caught up with Perrineau to learn more about The Unusuals, an unorthodox cop drama, and his neurotic character, Det. Leo Banks, who, among other idiosyncrasies, sleeps in his bulletproof vest. Plus: Will Perrineau be returning to Lost? See what he has to say after the jump.

The Unusuals: Debut Numbers Disappointing; Keep It or Cancel It?
10 April 2009 1:19 AM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news
Last night, ABC's The Unusuals debuted in the post-Lost timeslot. The network's had high hopes for the quirky crime drama but many critics have deemed it to be "usual" fare at best. What do viewers think?
The Unusuals revolves around a unique group NYPD detectives that all have secrets. They also have twisted senses of humor, which is helpful since every day could be their last. The series stars several TV show veterans like Amber Tamblyn (Joan Of Arcadia), Adam Goldberg (Head Cases), Harold Perrineau (Oz), and Terry Kinney (Thirtysomething), as well as Jeremy Renner, Kai Lennox, Josh Close, and Monique Gabriela Curnen.
Last night, the Unusuals premiere attracted 6.84 million viewers and a 2.2/ 6 rating/share in the 18-49 demographic. That's better than last week's Mars finale in overall viewers (5.86 million) but it's essentially the same rating/share in the demo. These aren't the numbers that ABC was hoping for.

The Unusuals - ABC’s New NYPD Series
8 April 2009 6:18 PM, PDT | From AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news
ABC's website compares The Unusuals to Mash, and as odd as that may sound at first, it's not a terrible comparison. The idea, apparently, is that this show has the same mix of the intensely serious and the wildly comedic. It probably isn't far off to say that there is something of an homage to Mash in the very theory of dealing with things which cannot be dealt with by being a little crazy. The pilot episode is quite a wild ride, and though Mash might be on the ABC page, I got the feeling we were definitely aiming to drift into a Hill Street Blues feel. After all, that show had its share of crazy too. The show revolves (generally) around Casey Shraeger (Amber Tamblyn), who has just been moved up from vice to homicide. She immediately finds herself neck deep in... something, because she is thrown right into a murdered cop case.

TV Review: ABC’s Quirky ‘The Unusuals’ Off to Promising Start
8 April 2009 10:15 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0 Chicago – After the failure of the underrated “Life on Mars,” ABC brings another bizarre cop show to the same timeslot called “The Unusuals”. Like the program it’s replacing, this is an intriguing premiere, a show with serious potential that just needs a bit of tinkering behind-the-scenes to become appointment television.
ABC has thrown several new shows up against the wall to see what sticks, including “Castle,” “Better Off Ted,” “In the Motherhood,” “Cupid,” “Surviving Suburbia,” and, now, “The Unusuals”. With “Castle” treading water and still needing improvement and the other new entries disappointing, “The Unusuals” is the clear frontrunner of the bunch.

Video: Amber Tamblyn Previews ABC's Unusuals New Series
8 April 2009 6:33 AM, PDT | From TVGuide.com - Features | See recent TVGuide - Features news
Now that Life on Mars has completed its mission, ABC has a new show leading out of Lost on Wednesday nights: The Unusuals, starring such familiar faces as Amber Tamblyn, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau and Adam Goldberg as quirky homicide detectives working for the NYPD. If any fans of Joan or Arcadia or General Hospital's original Emily Q. are surprised to see Tamblyn brandishing a badge these days, so is she. "When I first heard about [The Unusuals], I was like, 'I don't want to go back to TV, to play a cop,'" Tamblyn told TVGuide.com during a visit to the show's set. "But the script was so different."
"I call it an 'eccentric procedural,'" she says, summing up the show's niche.Watch and discuss Tamblyn's complete video Q&A after the jump.
