TV Ratings: NBC dominates Friday, 'Dollhouse' rises slightly
12 December 2009 8:50 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Fast National ratings for Friday, December 11, 2009. With CBS' procedures in repeats, NBC got a big audience for both Benjamin Bratt's return to "Law & Order" and "Dateline," winning the night in most key measures. Meanwhile, Fox's two-hour "Dollhouse" block was up slightly from last week, albeit hardly to especially high levels. Among adults 18-49, NBC won the night with a 1.7 rating. ABC's 1.5 rating and the 1.2 rating for ABC followed. Fox's 0.9 rating was fourth with a 0.9 rating, better than the 0.5 rating for The CW. Overall, NBC averaged an estimated 7.96 million... »

Bill O'Reilly gets in snipefest with Law & Order
11 December 2009 3:43 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
As part of his never-ending quest to make himself the news, the "Culture Warrior" has lobbed another fireball on the world of popular culture. This time it's Law & Order Svu creator Dick Wolf, because the show mentioned him.
This week's episode, titled "Anchor," featured a character who kills children birthed by illegal immigrants in America. His attorney, played by John Laroquette, fashions a defense that the TV and radio talking heads who rail against illegal immigrants are responsible for his actions. He even puts one on the stand, played by Bruce McGill, who seems to be channeling a Warner Bros. cartoon version of Lou Dobbs.
The attorney mentions O'Reilly by name, along with Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, as a "cancer spreading ignorance and hate." O'Reilly not only ripped Wolf a new one for working him into his show, but also brought in fellow pundit Laura Ingraham who frankly seemed »

[TV] Mental: The Complete First Season
9 December 2009 9:00 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
If there’s any show that drives me absolutely crazy, Mental is the one. I’ll admit, I’d never seen it before, and I thought the premise might make for some excellent television. The basis is that Dr. Jack Gallagher (played by Prison Break’s Chris Vance) has been appointed as the Director of Mental Health Services at an La hospital despite having an incredibly unconventional way of dealing with his patients. Unfortunately for him, his boss is also his ex-lover, Nora Skoff (played by Annabella Sciora of Law and Order: Criminal Intent), and is super conventional. Even worse, most of the staff dislikes him from the beginning as Dr. Veronica Hayden-Jones (Jacqueline McKenzie) is bitter he got the job instead of her and they all think he is crazy. Sounds interesting, right?
It should be awesome, but it’s really not. At times I found it unbearable to watch. »

Tracker #1 (Comic Review w/5-page preview!)
9 December 2009 7:53 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Tracker – Issue #1 | Top Cow Comics | Written by Jonathan Lincoln | Art by Frances Tsai
Check Out The Five Page Preview Below!
If you think about, cops and creatures of the night have a lot in common. They’re tough. They do most of their activity in the wee hours of the night. They’re scary, especially unshaven. Sometimes, they sit in one place for hours on end for their target to arrive. And once in awhile, they turn into something else when pissed off. Whether or not it’s upon a full moon is quite debatable.
It’s a wonder why we don’t see more crossovers between cop shows and werewolves, but Tracker from Top Cow Comics mixes the two perfectly with a yellow and blue make green seal of approval. It’s mature and gritty, yet mysterious and supernatural, allowing the reality to lead the fiction into believable circumstances. »

1 December 2009 12:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Benjamin Bratt Talks ‘Law and Order’ Return
30 November 2009 7:30 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Sometimes when actors leave a popular television show they go on to careers in the movies and become even more successful. George Clooney, who got his start on TV would be a good example of that. Of course, sometimes the opposite happens and they try movies and it doesn’t go so well. David Caruso, I’m talking to you. Of course, it may also be the case that they just miss their friends and colleagues from a particular show and want to come back.
We don’t really know the reason but Benjamin Bratt is heading back to Law and Order to help commemorate the show’s 20th season — and we’ve got video where he discusses it to share with you today. Bratt, who played Detective Rey Curtis on the NBC series from 1995-99, will reprise his role in an episode set for later this season. The episode »

Ice Cube To Ride Along
29 November 2009 11:15 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Is Ice Cube's film career brave or just bizarre? In the 80s, you'd never have predicted that the crazy muthafukka from straight outta Compton would twenty years later be successful as the grumpy, cuddly teddy bear of the Friday and Barbershop films. You can't quite imagine his immediate contemporary (and Trespass co-star) Ice-t in a family road-trip comedy. But then, Cube is still regularly knocking out films, while Ice-t is chugging away on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Maybe "canny" is the word.Anyway, the point is, it's a long time since Cube went to the shelf and dusted off the Ak: not since xXx2 has he busted any serious caps, and only about four people saw that. So the words "rogue cop" made us prick up our ears, in a kind of half-assed way. Ride Along, from New Line and Cube's own Cube Vision production company, »

Kathy Griffin lands guest spot on Law and Order Svu
17 November 2009 5:09 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
There's another Bravo to NBC crossover afoot. First, The Real Housewives of New Jersey popped over to play themselves on Mercy. Now it turns out that Kathy Griffin is on her way to Law and Order: Svu. And, get this, she's not playing herself. The queen of the D-list will be acting.
Kathy has been tapped to play a lesbian activist in the February 10 episode. As anyone who's watched Kathy on her Emmy-award winning reality show, My Life on the D-List, Kathy is a shameless over-achiever and loves to work. She's ambitious and determined to get off the D-list. As she might say, she would go to the opening of a refrigerator if it would help her career.

Let Three Rivers Run?
16 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
CBS's organ-transplant procedural Three Rivers just earned its highest ratings yet, jumping 11% since last week's showing. The problem? The network has to decide whether to order more episodes of the struggling, often painfully bad show quickly in order to avoid expensive production stoppage. Movieline's advice? Dump it. Law and Order: Criminal Intent satisfies the incident-investigation-resolution formula better, and there are fewer high-tech touchscreen monitors that look swiped from an intimately lit version of the Enterprise.

2012 – The SFX Rock, But Better To Buy Me A Beer!
16 November 2009 4:17 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
I admit it. I’ve been a closet fan of disaster movies dating as far back as The Towering Inferno and Earthquake -with Senssuround! Yet at some point after Independence Day (I base chronology on disaster movies rather than the calendar), my enthusiasm began to wane. I was becoming anesthetized just when CGI was heating up. Finally I was finished with my love of the disaster movie. Could it have been from literally having watched as one of the two Trade Center Towers imploded in front of my eyes that fateful September morning? I remember so clearly working in television and having to pull off every formerly programmed disaster movie from that point forward so not to disrespect such an unthinkable tragedy. Yes, in the TV world, by the end of 2001 and in the many years that followed, it was downright disrespectful to expose an audience of Americans or humanity »
