Michael Ausiello is reporting that
CBS has reduced the number of episodes of Numb3rs for this season from 22 to only 16. What does this mean for the show? Well, it means that sometimes numbers aren't good even on
Numb3rs. It also means that this pretty much guarantees that this will be the last season for the show. Ausiello thinks that CBS will put
Flashpoint in the time slot when the episodes run out.
So, are all of you people who tried to save
Southland going to mount a similar campaign for this show? I didn't think so.

I thought last night was tough, with
The Emmys joining new episodes of
Mad Men,
Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the series premiere of
Bored To Death, but it was nothing
compared to tonight. We have the season premieres of
How I Met Your Mother,
The Big Bang Theory,
Two and a Half Men,
CSI: Miami,
Dancing with the Stars,
Castle,
Heroes, and
House, along with new episodes of
Gossip Girl,
One Tree Hill, and
The Jay Leno Show and the series premiere of
Accidentally on Purpose. Whew.
I think all of our DVRs are going to explode around 8:59 PM.
What are you watching? Are you going to give
Heroes another chance? Are you anxiously awaiting Jenna Elfman's new show? Does Nathan Fillion make you all tingly?

For thirteen years,
Lewis Black has been ranting and raving as a correspondent for
The Daily Show, venting about all things political and pop cultural. For much longer than that, he's been a an actor, a playwright, and stand-up comedian, playing clubs and theaters everywhere around the country.
He taped his latest special,
Stark Raving Black, earlier this month in Detroit for a fall release in theaters October 8th before it heads to a new premium HB cable channel called
Epix, where it will debut December 5. (Black also filmed a documentary about his transition from a writer to a comedian - he's unsure where that will end up). And
Big Bang Theory fans will be happy to know he'll be doing a cameo on the show September 28. I spoke with him by phone last week.
Why release the new special theatrically? In order to... I think... I've got no idea. Everyone around me seemed to think it was a smart idea. Why not? I'm interested in seeing how that works and if it does work. It's another way to reach people.

To me, this should be a no-brainer. NBC should renew
Chuck for a third season, even if it only commits to 12 episodes, it should bring the show back. However, I'm not one of the geniuses in
Jeff Zucker's world; you know, those mental giants that have committed five hours of prime time to Jay Leno starting next fall and recently signed up for more
Donald Trump celebrity/reality BS. No, I'm just a loyal
Chuck viewer who has seen a show improve from week to week culminating with a superb final two episodes in 2009.
Well, there were rumors that on Monday at NBC's "infront" -- a preview for the "upfront" -- that
Chuck would get a pick up.
TV Guide says that's not the case. On Friday,
Chuck star Zachary Levi told a reporter that Josh Schwartz, the
Chuck exec producer, had emailed him that
NBC's decision about Chuck was on hold. The pick up, if it comes, won't be for a couple of weeks.
