The 2010-2011 TV Season - Fox Denies Running Wilde a Full Season

FOX has announced it will not be ordering a full season of new show Running Wilde.

While the show hasn't been officially cancelled, it is expected to be. Running Wilde premiered back in September and ratings been extremely low. 

The show is about a self-obsessed billionaire who is reunited with his childhood sweetheart who is now an environmental activist. (I know your yawning right now, don't worry I am too.)

FOX recently removed the show from it's schedule but it is expected to return 30th November.

The 2011-2012 TV Season - FOX renews The Simpsons

Note how the title is The 2011-2012 TV Season, not 2010-2011!


Long running animated comedy, The Simpsons has been renewed for it's 23rd season by FOX.


The news means that the show will be on screens till at least 2012 and it will reach it's 500th episode millstone. It will also become the 3rd longest running prime-time series in the history of television. It's come along way from being a short on The Tracey Ullman Show back in 1987!


I used to watch The Simpsons all the time, but it gets tiring after a while. I loved the movie but I don't watch the show anymore, unless there's nothing else on and it happens to be on. I can't believe it's still going though. It's a great achievement. 


Are you happy The Simpsons lives on? Do you still watch it?

The 2010-2011 TV Season - Raising Hope gets a full season

Raising Hope which airs on FOX is the first new show of the 2010-2011 season to get a full season. 

The season premiere gained 7.48m viewers, and the second episode had the same and the recently shown third episode dropped slightly but FOX have decided to order a full 22 episode season. 

The show will air on Sky1 sometime during October. 

The 2010-2011 TV Season - Lone Star Cancelled

The 2010-2011 TV Season has had it's first victim. 

FOX's Lone Star was cancelled today after just 2 episodes airing. The Series premiere gained 4.06 million viewers which was very disappointing. The recently aired 2nd episode had a dismal 3.2 million views. The show was received well by the critics and Michael Ausiello, EW.com's TV Blogger named it as his favourite new show but also the first likely to be cancelled. Last week there was rumors of Lone Star being cancelled, but FOX denied them. Now the axe has fallen and the series creator is said to be "gobsmacked" at the ratings and cancellation. Lie to Me, which wasn't supposed to start until November, will take the show's time slot. 

The show was picked up by Sky1 to be shown in the UK and it is unknown wether they will show the 6 episodes made. 

Gwyneth Paltrow Heading to Glee?

It's been reported that Gwyneth Paltrow is being lined up to guest star in two episodes of Glee!

She will apparently star in two episodes in November and will play a substitute teacher, who fills in for Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison). Executive Producer and Creator, Ryan Murphy, wrote the role expressly for her and they episodes will featuring Gwyneth singing and dancing. She will also put Schuester's relationship with Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) in jeopardy. 

Shooting for these episodes begins in two weeks. Season 2 of Glee premieres on FOX tonight at 8/7c in the US. It returns to E4 in the UK in January 2011.

Have We Met The Mother?

How I Met Your Mother has been going for 6 years now and we STILL have not met their mother. If you are unfamiliar with the show (why? watch it!) it begins set in the year 2030. A man who is not on screen called Ted is telling his 2 children the story of how he met their mother. At that point we have no idea how long this story is going to be. The show follows Ted (Josh Radnor), his best friend Marshall (Jason Segel), his wife Lily (Alyson Hannigan), Canadian Robyn (Cobie Smulders) and womanizing Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) in their adventures through the years. It's extremely hilarious and very clever and definitely watchable, but I would recommend you start with Season 1, or would won't get the full story. 


Now that's out of the way we can move on to the news. We could have our mother. Jennifer Morrison who played Dr Cameron in FOX's long running House.

Ted (Josh Radnor) and Jennifer Morrison

I've always wondered how long this show could go on for. We've got hints at who the mother could be such as the yellow umbrella which randomly makes appearances to help the story along but sources strongly suggest she will play a major love interest for Ted Mosby. So could we have our mother? Question is though, is that something to get excited about? I presume if we meet the mother that's the end of the show since that was originally the whole point of the show. That would be sad but I guess all good things come to an end.

What are your thoughts? 

Glee. How much is too much?

There's no getting away from it now. I am the biggest "Gleek" I know. Yet are we sick of it ALREADY?

The answer is; we're getting there.

Glee was created by Ryan Murphy and was picked up by FOX 15 hours after the script was submitted. Impressive. Since then it has exploded into the world. Attracting high audiences and massively loyal fans, Glee is an amazing show. There's no doubting that. I have every song they've ever done on my ipod. But now the show is hugely popular, the merchandise and money grab proceeds:

• Multiple CDs
• DVDs
• Books
• Games (Wii game, Board games)
• Stationary
• Clothes
• Accessories
• Greeting Cards ( :S whaaaat?)
• Lunch Bags
• Holiday Gift Sets

Just from one season?!? You're not High School Musical! Also the amount of celebrities begging for cameos or roles is ridiculous and if they keep agreeing to them, it's going to ruin it. I mean Susan Boyle is rumored to be appearing in the Christmas episode as a lunch-lady? Please. Yes, the woman needs to do something with her life but trust me, it's not this. So how much is too much? And how long will Glee last if this keeps up?

I have a few requests if you like for the next season of Glee:
First of all give Jane Lynch every award possible and a hug from me.
More Brittany! (I know this is happening anyway but still)
Kill off 'Other Asian' or Mike as he is actually known. He said one word last season.
and I think that's it.
