But other quotes in the running were: "Can my code name be Lando Calrissian?" and "It's going to be a freaking vampire apocalypse." It is not a spoiler but a fact that <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/13/moonlight-done-say-cbs-sources/">CBS decided earlier this week </a>not to pick up <em>Moonlight </em>for a second season. The fat lady hasn't finished quite singing yet, though: Our own <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/14/moonlight-isnt-done-yet/">Brett Love reported that Nikke Fink thinks the CW might pick up the show after all</a>. So, keep your eyes pealed for that possible announcement. <br /><br />In the meantime, however, we have the season (and, thus far, series) finale to contend with. I don't know whether the writers suspected that the series would be ending, but surely they knew (along with everyone else) that the show was on the bubble. So, they ended the season in a manner that would provide some closure for us all, while also keeping things open in case it was continued. I, for one, appreciate that.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/moonlight-sonata-series-finale/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Moonlight: Sonata (series finale)</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/moonlight-sonata-series-finale/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1198216/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/moonlight-sonata-series-finale/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Alex OLoughlin</category><category>AlexOloughlin</category><category>CBS</category><category>Eric Winter</category><category>EricWinter</category><category>Jason Dohring</category><category>JasonDohring</category><category>Moonlight</category><category>Sophia Myles</category><category>SophiaMyles</category><dc:creator>Jen Creer</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 17 May 2008 00:25:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Doctor Who: The Sontaran Strategem</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/doctor-who-the-sontaran-strategem/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/doctor-who-the-sontaran-strategem/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/doctor-who-the-sontaran-strategem/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/doctor-who/" rel="tag">Doctor Who</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="114" border="0" align="right" alt="Doctor Who" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/doctorwho.jpg" /><em>(S04E05) </em> Yet another classic <span style="font-style: italic;">Doctor Who</span> villain gets an update. This time it's the Sontarans in their first television appearance in 23 years.<br /><br />For a revision, it's actually pretty accurate to the original series. The only difference with the Sontarans now is that they're all short. This is actually an improvement on the original series since they've always been from a heavy gravity world yet appeared at normal size (which always struck me as a little odd, unless the Sontarans we've seen historically were the professional wrestler versions).<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/doctor-who-the-sontaran-strategem/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Doctor Who: The Sontaran Strategem</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/doctor-who-the-sontaran-strategem/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1193483/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/17/doctor-who-the-sontaran-strategem/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>BBC</category><category>Catherine Tate</category><category>David Tennant</category><category>Sci Fi Channel</category><category>TARDIS</category><category>The Doctor</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 17 May 2008 00:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Battlestar Galactica: Guess What's Coming To Dinner</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/battlestar-galactica-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/battlestar-galactica-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/battlestar-galactica-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/battlestar-galactica/" rel="tag">Battlestar Galactica</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="262" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/bsg-comingtodinner.png" alt="bsg six drawings" /><br /><em>(S04E07)</em> I'm going to go out on a limb (no pun ... oh hell, pun intended) and assume it's not a huge spoiler to mention the fate of Gaeta's leg here, before the jump. Most people in last week's poll thought it was "as good as gone," and they were right. The songs Gaeta sang in the infirmary, along with the haunting music of <a href="http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/">Bear McCreary</a>, were very well done. While we have some minor (and sometimes major) characters dying episode-to-episode, not so much feeling has been put into them as has been with Gaeta's amputation. Sad, yet beautiful.<br /><br />OK, that was a bit creepy, but you get where I'm coming from.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/battlestar-galactica-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Battlestar Galactica: Guess What's Coming To Dinner</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/battlestar-galactica-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1198170/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/battlestar-galactica-guess-whats-coming-to-dinner/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adama</category><category>cylons</category><category>starbuck</category><dc:creator>Keith McDuffee</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 23:55:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Marcia Cross dishes about Desperate Housewives finale</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/marcia-cross-dishes-about-desperate-housewives-finale/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/marcia-cross-dishes-about-desperate-housewives-finale/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/marcia-cross-dishes-about-desperate-housewives-finale/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/desperate-housewives/" rel="tag">Desperate Housewives</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="275" border="0" align="right" alt="Marcia Cross" id="img1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/marcia-cross-picture-3%282%29.jpg" />Michael Weinfeld of the Associated Press was able to sit down with television's most neurotic homemaker.

<p>The daytime talk show host will host a reunion of the show. Not only will she get all of the surviving cast members together (Moore, Valerie Harper, Ed Asner, Betty White, Gavin MacLeod, Cloris Leachman, and Georgia Engel), they will also have duplicates of the WJM set and the set for Mary's apartment on the stage (the link above includes a preview of the show - no idea why Oprah is crying).</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/oprah-brings-the-mary-tyler-moore-show-cast-together-on-monday/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Oprah brings the Mary Tyler Moore Show cast together on Monday</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/oprah-brings-the-mary-tyler-moore-show-cast-together-on-monday/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1197793/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/oprah-brings-the-mary-tyler-moore-show-cast-together-on-monday/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>betty white</category><category>cloris leachman</category><category>ed asner</category><category>gavin macleod</category><category>georgia engel</category><category>mary richards</category><category>mary tyler moore show</category><category>oprah</category><category>valerie harper</category><category>wjm</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 15:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>I hate you, Insider TV show</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/i-hate-you-insider-tv-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/i-hate-you-insider-tv-show/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/i-hate-you-insider-tv-show/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img height="200" alt="John Mayer" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/johnmayerap.jpg" width="250" align="right" vspace="4" border="0" />I've written many times here about how much I hate the tabloid shows, whether it's <em>Access Hollywood</em>, <em>TMZ</em>, or<em> Entertainment Tonight</em>. One of the worst is <em>ET's</em> sister show, <em>The Insider</em>. Besides having a despicable host (Pat O'Brien -- what's with that little fake laugh he does all the time?) and the lamest writing this side of a junior high student newspaper, it's also evil and dumb.</p>
<p>Take last night's episode. I don't watch the show, but I didn't get to my remote quick enough to change the channel after the news ended and I caught the teaser opening. They showed singer John Mayer with a gun to his head, a rather raw photograph that looked like it was taken across the street from a bank. Was Mayer being held hostage in a holdup? Was one of Jennifer Aniston's exes there telling him not to see her anymore? OMG! Stay tuned to this breaking news!</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/i-hate-you-insider-tv-show/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>I hate you, Insider TV show</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/i-hate-you-insider-tv-show/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1197759/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/i-hate-you-insider-tv-show/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>access hollywood</category><category>celebs</category><category>entertainment tonight</category><category>gossip</category><category>john mayer</category><category>lara spencer</category><category>pat obrien</category><category>the insider</category><category>tmz</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 14:41:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Beth Ehlers bolts Guiding Light for All My Children</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/beth-ehlers-bolts-guiding-light-for-all-my-children/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/beth-ehlers-bolts-guiding-light-for-all-my-children/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/beth-ehlers-bolts-guiding-light-for-all-my-children/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/daytime/" rel="tag">Daytime</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="267" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/dt_gl_act_large_behlers_03-1.jpg" alt="Ehlers" />You could call it bailing from a sinking ship, assuming you think the current changes on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/03/tv-squad-soap-report-the-new-guiding-light-is-not-working/"><em>Guiding Light</em></a> are something like being on the Titanic. On the other hand, it may just be a talented actress spreading her wings to take on a new challenge. However you couch it, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2008/05/16/2008-05-16_soapdish_reva_pops_the_question_on_guidi.html"><em>Guiding Light </em>star Beth Ehlers is bolting the CBS soap for ABC's <em>All My Children</em></a>. She'll be assuming the role of Liza Colby Chandler, the part most recently played by Marcy Walker (who played Tangie back on <em>Guiding Light </em>in 1993). <br /><br />This is the second major exit from <em>GL</em>, and it seems that the bottom line reason for the departures is the bottom line. Cost cutting across the board at the P&amp;G soaps -- <em>GL</em> and <em>As the World Turns</em> -- have squeezed the actors salaries. <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/20/ martha-byrne-dishes-about-leaving-as-the-world-turns/">Martha Byrne</a> and Scott Bryce left <em>ATWT</em> in recent months, reportedly in contract disputes, and Ricky Paull Goldin departed <em>GL</em> last month and was quickly snatched up by <em>All My Children</em>. Just like Ehlers. <br /><br />And how coincidental that they were a major couple in Springfield. They even won a special Daytime Emmy in 2002 as America's Favorite Couple -- <span style="font-style: italic;">GL</span>'s Harley and Gus. Well, now they can spark that same chemistry in Pine Valley. Move over, Erica and Adam and Tad and Joe, you've got company.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Beth Ehlers</strong></p><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/beth-ehlers/810187/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/211_1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Ricky &amp; Beth" title="Ricky &amp; Beth" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/beth-ehlers/810189/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/52960144_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Ricky &amp; Beth at the Emmys" title="Ricky &amp; Beth at the Emmys" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/beth-ehlers/810197/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/d630ec71_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Ricky &amp; Beth 2" title="Ricky &amp; Beth 2" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/beth-ehlers/810199/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/guid.600_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Superhero Harley" title="Superhero Harley" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/beth-ehlers/810202/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/gl-ehlers-tvfamily_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Cooper Family on Guiding Light" title="Cooper Family on Guiding Light" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/beth-ehlers-bolts-guiding-light-for-all-my-children/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Beth Ehlers bolts Guiding Light for All My Children</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/beth-ehlers-bolts-guiding-light-for-all-my-children/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1197790/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/beth-ehlers-bolts-guiding-light-for-all-my-children/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ABC</category><category>All My Children</category><category>AllMyChildren</category><category>As the World Turns</category><category>AsTheWorldTurns</category><category>Beth Ehlers</category><category>BethEhlers</category><category>CBS</category><category>Guiding Light</category><category>GuidingLight</category><category>Harley Gus</category><category>HarleyGus</category><category>Martha Byrne</category><category>MarthaByrne</category><category>Ricky Paull Goldin</category><category>RickyPaullGoldin</category><category>Scott Bryce</category><category>ScottBryce</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 14:23:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>The five new shows I'm most interested in (based on the upfronts that is)</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/the-5-new-shows-im-most-interested-in-based-on-the-upfronts-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/the-5-new-shows-im-most-interested-in-based-on-the-upfronts-th/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/the-5-new-shows-im-most-interested-in-based-on-the-upfronts-th/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/upfronts/" rel="tag">Upfronts</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="194" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/networkupfrontlogo.jpg" alt="network logos" />So the networks have given their <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/upfronts/">upfront presentations</a>. It's not easy to pick which shows look the best. Sure, we can base our judgments on what "type" of show we usually like anyway or a producer that's involved or someone who is in the lead. But we're still just basing it on a description (or <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/15/tv-week-gives-a-peek-at-cbss-new-shows/">a snippet from each show</a>). It really comes down to the writing and the execution in general.</p>
<p>Having said all that, here are the shows that look great to me, based on the upfront description, the cast and crew involved, and how my tastes run in general.</p>

Whatever the case, <em>Lost</em> fans can plan on getting the season four DVD as a Christmas/ Hanukkah/Kwanzaa present because it doesn't come out until December 9th. Which makes sense I suppose, since <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/13/the-upfronts-abc/">the show returns in early '09</a>.</p>
<p>The 5-disc set (aka "The Expanded Experience") will obviously include all 14 season four eps plus a ton of goodies. As far as DVD sets go, <em>Lost</em> always has great extras. According to TVShowsOnDVD.com, <a href="http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/releases/Lost-Complete-4th-Season-Expanded-Experience/7790">expect to see 5 featurettes</a>, bloopers, deleted scenes, and audio commentaries for some of the episodes. The one goodie that really has me excited? The "Oceanic Airlines Safety Guide." Hilarious. It immediately made me think of <a href="http://www.airtoons.com/">Airtoons</a> -- all those funny and inappropriate airline safety cards.</p>
<p>As with season three, there will also be a BluRay release but I've got to be honest. I have the regular season three DVDs and they look pretty damn good on my HDTV set. So I'm not convinced that shelling out the extra $40 to $50 bucks is really worth it. Yet, anyway. You can pre-order both at Amazon for way less though - $38.99 for the normal DVDs and $66.95 for the BluRay.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/lost-season-4-dvd-news/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1197578/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/lost-season-4-dvd-news/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ABC</category><category>DVD</category><category>Lost</category><category>season four</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 12:23:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Kelly Preston in new HBO series</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/kelly-preston-in-new-hbo-series/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/kelly-preston-in-new-hbo-series/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/kelly-preston-in-new-hbo-series/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pickups-and-renewals/" rel="tag">Pickups and Renewals</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="283" border="0" align="right" alt="Kelly Preston" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/preston.jpg" />Kelly Preston (also known as Mrs. John Travolta) has been <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080516/tv_nm/preston_dc;_ylt=AqytZQdHSskNfU9w_uT7JL1pMhkF">signed to star in a new HBO pilot</a> called <em>Suburban Shootout</em>. The series is a dark comedy about rival gangs of suburban housewives. Most recently, Preston had a recurring role on <em>Medium</em>.</p>
<p>Preston will be playing Camilla, the leader of one of the gangs. Other cast members include Kerri Kenney and Rachael Harris. The show is based on a British series that was picked up by the Oxygen network.</p>
<p>The premise of the series sounds good. It's a bit like <em>Desperate Housewives</em> meet <em>Boys In The Hood</em>. I envision a scene in which the housewives rumble like the rival gangs in <em>The Warriors</em>. While the premise works, its success depends on the execution of the idea.</p>
<p>There is one thing that can be confidently said about this new series.

In short, they really don't bother me. <br /><br />Since I write about TV and movies, I have a work-related TV in my office, and I use those few minutes here and there to slam through some work or get caught up on whatever show I'm recapping. In fact, while watching commercial-free shows on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/hbo/">HBO</a> and <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/showtime/">Showtime</a>, I actually miss those little interludes. <br /><br />But, apparently, Fox hasn't been peering through my window, because at <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/15/the-upfronts-fox/">their upfront presentation yesterday morning</a>, they announced their "Remote-Free TV" idea. Two new dramas, J.J.

<p>Did you really think that <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/er/">ER</a> </em>would end its fourteenth season with everything all honky-dory at County General? You haven't watched it recently, have you? Fact is, the season-ender for the last few years has been some sort of cliffhanger. Last season the fate of Neela was unknown. The year before it was Abby and Luka. A few years before that the fates of Pratt and Jing-Mei were undecided.</p>
<p>Now we have two (or three, or four) characters to consider as potential victims. But, who will be the lucky -- or in this case, unlucky -- one who will end up as a patient in their very own Emergency Room when season 15 of <em>ER </em>begins? Let's take a look at the candidates. Oh, by the way, spoilers ahead if you didn't watch the last three minutes of the episode.</p>

Bill Lawrence wants to take the show in a more dramatic direction, and these cast additions are part of that agenda.<br /><br />Betsy Beutler is best known for her role as Joanie on the <em>Black Donnellys</em>. Eliza Coupe guest-starred on an episode of <em>Flight of the Conchords</em> and had a role on the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/03/18/hbo-bails-on-lily-tomlin-comedy/">prematurely canceled HBO series <em>12 Miles of Bad Road</em></a>. Fans of MTV's <em>Human Giant</em> are already familiar with the comedic work of Aziz Ansari.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/three-new-interns-coming-to-scrubs/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Three new interns coming to Scrubs</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/three-new-interns-coming-to-scrubs/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1196794/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/three-new-interns-coming-to-scrubs/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>aziz ansari</category><category>AzizAnsari</category><category>Betsy Beutler</category><category>BetsyBeutler</category><category>eliza coupe</category><category>ElizaCoupe</category><category>scrubs</category><dc:creator>Erin Martell</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 08:41:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>My Name is Earl: The Camdenites (season finale) - VIDEO</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/my-name-is-earl-the-camdenites-season-finale/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/my-name-is-earl-the-camdenites-season-finale/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/16/my-name-is-earl-the-camdenites-season-finale/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/my-name-is-earl/" rel="tag">My Name Is Earl</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="316" align="right" alt="Randy and his lady" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/earlcamdenites200.jpg" />(<em>S03E21 / S03E22</em>) "Whoa, not on the menu!" - Earl Hickey</p>
<p>In the entire run of this series, I have never been more sympathetic to any of Earl's situations than the one he is in now. What is a man to do when he has a full-on hottie in his bed and everything she does drives him nuts? I see now why Billie and Frank got along so well.</p>
<p>The sad part is that it seems like Earl is destined to be shackled to women who are just plain evil. Karma takes him to Billie, he can't seem to get away from Joy and any time he meets a woman who seems half way sane, his list gets in the way. I can only hope this is all part of karma's master plan.</p>
