Women Who've Dumped Me Adaptation Lands at MGM
2 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
MGM has acquired the screen rights for the humor anthology book Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me, which is edited by Modern Family co-executive producer Ben Karlin. Here's the official description from the book's website.
Relationships end. And in most cases, even the most callow among us, even men, learn something from the experience. Now in this smart, funny, and insightful anthology, some of our most impressive comedic and creative (male) minds, including Stephen Colbert, Nick Hornby, Andy Richter, Bob Odenkirk, Patton Oswalt, Dan Savage, and Adam Schlesinger, share with us what they've learned from that all-too-universal experience: being dumped.
Whether it be major life lessons, like "The Heart is a Choking Hazard," simple truths like, "A Dog is No Reason to Stay Together," or profound realizations like, "Persistence is for Suckers, Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me is about that salient something men take away from failed relationships. »

TV Season Champs: NCIS Outdraws Sunday Night Football, Top-Rated New Comedies All Got Axed
3 hours ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
With May Sweeps over, the overall rankings for the broadcast networks’ 2012-13 TV season have been released, and CBS’ NCIS this time around seized the title of Most Watched Program, edging out NBC’s Sunday Night Football with an average of 21.3 million weekly viewers (including all available DVR playback data).

ABC Gets Chance to Shine, Tying for Sweep’s Demo Lead
5 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The major broadcasters were nothing if not tightly bunched in the May sweep, with all four separated by about 125,000 viewers in the adults 18-49 demo.
The close finish shows that, at least in a month when none of its rivals gets a big boost from sports, ABC can be pretty competitive. The net may have finished the season that ended Wednesday night in fourth place, but it tied CBS and Fox for the 18-49 lead in preliminary Nielsen estimates for the April 25-May 22 period — the first time in 13 years that the Alphabet finished first for the sweep.
Of course, the tight finish for the sweep also shows how the networks have fallen: As the numbers drift lower and lower, it’s only natural that we would see closer races.
NBC, which placed fourth in May (1.7 rating) but just one tenth behind ABC, CBS and Fox (all at 1.8), was the only »

MGM to Adapt Ben Karlin’s Things I’Ve Learned From Women Who’Ve Dumped Me
6 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
MGM has picked up the rights to Ben Karlin's humorous anthology, Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped Me. The book is collection of essays from celebrated comedians including Stephen Colbert, Patton Oswalt, Larry David, Will Forte, and Andy Richter as well as best-selling authors/columnists Dan Savage, A.J. Jacobs, and many more. It's a very funny and surprisingly touching book where the authors' talent for self-deprecation and insight shines through. According to Deadline, Kyle Pennenkamp & Scott Turpel (the upcoming Get a Job) will write the script, which will cull the book "for the ingredients to a male-oriented comedy." That phrase has me a bit worried since the essays aren't misogynistic and can appeal to both genders. Hit the jump for a synopsis of the book. Karlin co-wrote and produced the upcoming comedy A.C.O.D. (click here for my review from Sundance), and is currently a co-executive producer on Modern Family. »

‘Modern Family,’ ‘Criminal Minds’ Win As Season Wraps
11 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
ABC’s “Modern Family” emerged the leader in key demos on Wednesday, the final night of the television season, while a two-hour “Criminal Minds” performed well for CBS and won its timeslot. Despite facing “Minds,” rookie dramas “Nashville” on ABC and “Chicago Fire” on NBC had solid ends to their seasons, with the former hitting a four-month high.
According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, ABC tied with CBS for the Wednesday lead among adults 18-49, opening with “The Middle” (2.0/7 in 18-49, 7.5 million viewers overall), which wrapped its fourth season as the 8 p.m. leader in most categories, on par with last year’s finale in 18-49 and its most-watched season-ender overall since its rookie season. Following a special “Modern Family” repeat at 8:30 (1.6/5 in 18-49, 5.6 million viewers overall), the fourth-season finale of “Modern” averaged a timeslot-leading 3.6 rating/11 share in adults 18-49 and 9.9 million viewers overall — on par with last »

Ratings Rat Race: ‘Modern Family’, ‘Law & Order: Svu’ & ‘Criminal Minds’ Hit Finale Lows, ‘Masterchef’ Down In Season Debut
11 hours ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
The final night of the 2012-2013 TV season saw six finales and one season debut. On ABC, Wednesday marked the Season 4 finale of Modern Family (3.6/11) at 9 Pm. In a season that saw the comedy post its first adults 18-49 win over American Idol, last night’s episode dipped 3% from its May 14 show. While the highest-rated show of the night by far, Family also fell 12% from its Season 3 end on May 23, 2012 to hit an all-time season-finale low. That result could change a bit in the final numbers as the extra minute of Family is factored in. Last week, the show went up from its 3.5 in fast affiliate rating to a 3.6 later in the day. The Season 4 finale of The Middle (2.0/7) started ABC’s primetime last night, with the sitcom was up a slight 5% from last week and even with last year’s May 23, 2012 finale. A Modern Family (1.6/5) encore followed at 8:30 Pm. »

Modern Family Season 4, Episode 24: “Goodnight Gracie”
Written by Steven Levitan & Jeffrey Richman
Directed by Steven Levitan
Airs on Wednesdays at 9pm (Et) on ABC
For the past couple of weeks, I have written about how Modern Family hasn’t really been that inspiring. With a number of episodes that have been lacking hilarity, the focus of this season has been built on episodes that are more emotion driven. “Goodnight Gracie” is one of the better examples of this and also makes up for a hit and miss fourth season.
Many sitcoms pack up their characters and send to them to Disneyworld or something, hoping to get a promotional boost from the novelty, as well as discovering new comic possibilities by moving away from the norm. This is a fairly transparent gimmick and something that has definitely been done many times. The best example of this I feel can be »

The sun has set (or risen?) on Summit Entertainment’s venerable vampire series — but even though it, like Robsten, is officially kaput, Twilight still holds a hypnotic power over people of a certain age. (That age is “young.”)
The last installment of the blood-sucking saga dominates the “first wave” of nominees at this year’s Teen Choice Awards, which single out the movies, TV series, music, fashion, comedians, athletes, and performers that resonate most with today’s 13- through 19-year-olds.
