I went back and forth on whether I’d live-blog the Emmys tonight, mainly because, after all, this is a TV blog.
But then I thought about it.
Where’s Battlestar Galactica? Kings? Did Jericho ever get any love?
Sure, critical darlings 30 Rock and The Office, though relatively low-rated (compared with the CSI juggernaut, anyway) get lots of Emmy [...]

UPDATED info at bottom of post
I have a special love for the show Jericho, which was, by the by, my entré into social media.
It was such a great post-apocalyptic drama, which CBS screwed up in scheduling and then canceled at literally the last minute, after the season finale aired. Fans rallied, sent tons of peanuts [...]
I’ve fallen rather behind both in my television viewing and in my blogging, so I thought I’d catch up with a few things today, seeing as I don’t have access to HBO this weekend and can’t watch True Blood until tomorrow, at the earliest.
First up: Reaper.
I did so love this show.
I’ve said about 8 gazillion [...]

As it is with every year, a whole bunch of science fiction-y shows were canceled at the end of the season, but I have to give it to the networks for trying a bunch of new ones next year.
It was so hard to keep track of the comings and goings during the upfronts, but SciFi [...]

OK, I guess the TV seasons before most people had televisions were worse, but this season was for the birds, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The four major networks (that’d be CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox – sorry CW) lost an average of 16 percent of viewership in the coveted “demo” – adults 18-49. That includes [...]

I was predisposed to liking Harper’s Island for a variety of reasons.
First, it was a good murder mystery in the vein of the finest Agatha Christie.
Second, it was being exec produced by Jon Turteltaub, who was part of the team that brought us Jericho. Dan Shotz and Karim Zreik are co-exec producers – two names [...]
The anxiously awaited news about Jericho finally came out today, and it’s pretty much what I expected: A new comic book series based on the show.
Believe it or not, I couldn’t actually find the news on the CBS website, but thanks to my Jericho buddies on Facebook and The Futon Critic, I was able to [...]
More hope that there could, indeed, be a Jericho movie.
IGN reported today that there might indeed be a chance for us to see the Second American Civil War in action.
Karim Zriek and Dan Shotz said they’re definitely in talks/development for a movie about our favorite post-apocalyptic not-so-distant future, but that there will be an announcement [...]

One of my fellow Blogs4Bauer bloggers commented Monday night during the liveblog (had a sick toddler, so I couldn’t watch and blog and snuggle at the same time) that Chewbacca’s girlfriend is the cougar of this season, and I have to agree.
I do not consider that to be a liability, however. The cougar has given [...]

A Jericho-fan friend e-mailed me yesterday with the great news — a Jericho feature film is in development by Jon Turtletaub’s production company, according to an interview with Turtletaub in iF Magazine..
Turtletaub, of course, was an executive producer/director on our favorite post-apocalyptic wrongly canceled TV show.
That means we might see these gentlemen together again, but [...]
