Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.I haven't jumped on the Blu-ray wagon yet. I know, I know, it's supposed to be "better," but I have all of these individual season sets that aren't Blu-ray and I don't know if I want to get rid of the older ones (or sell them) and get new ones. They'd really have to have a ton of extras (and ones that I'm interested in) on them for me to get them. A better picture doesn't really excite me. So I won't be getting the
Lost sets being released this week.
But I'm on board for season 2 of
Burn Notice!
- Burn Notice - Season 2
- Everwood - Season 2
- Family Guy - Vol. 7 and 100th Episode Celebration
- Generation Kill - Mini-Series (Blu-ray)
- House of Payne - Vol. 4

The coffee at Luke's Diner is perking again. Well, sort of.
The WB television network is being resurrected it as a new web site. The WB, tentatively called wb.com, will offer free streaming episodes of
Gilmore Girls, Everwood and
What I Like About You, to start.
Those are all shows that were WB-produced during 1995-2006, before the WB merged with UPN to become the CW. It has yet to be determined if other series, including
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Felicity and
Dawson's Creek are slated for the wb.com stream. Like other online streaming venues that allow people to watch for free, the shows will be paid for by ads. In addition to the shows, the site is also going to create new, short (approximately five minute) vignettes targeting the old WB audience, primarily women 12-34.

I'm not sure if this means that TNT doesn't have any faith in the show or if they have a lot of faith in the show. I sense the former.
The network has announced that they are moving the new Treat Williams medical drama Heartland from the cushy post-Closer spot at 10pm on Mondays to 8pm. That means it won't have a strong lead-in (The Closer is doing great in the ratings) and will have to kick off the night on its own. Heartland isn't exactly a hit with critics.
What's going in the 10pm slot? Glad you asked! It's Saving Grace, a new show starring Holly Hunter as an alcoholic cop who gets help from an angel after she causes an accident.

(
S01E01) I was curious to get a look at this show as soon as I heard about it. If you were even the most casual fan of
Everwood, the premise had to sound some bells. Treat Williams as a brilliant surgeon who struggles to juggle all of the balls in his personal life. That's a thumbnail sketch, but it's one that fits both Nathaniel Grant and Andy Brown very well.

(Part 5 of 5) In the winter of 2006 CBS and Warner Brothers got together to create a new 5th network . . . The CW. You read right, I said 5th network. That's probably confusing you right now since you thought there were six major broadcast networks on the air last winter: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, WB, UPN. Yes, that's true, but The CW was to do something unique to make it the 5th network. It was going to combine the programming of both the WB and UPN, eliminating those networks completely.
It sounded like a good idea at first. Take the best programming from both WB and UPN and put it on one network. No more jumping between the two networks to find the show you wanted to watch. No more confusion as to whether Veronica Mars was on WB or UPN. Plus, there was elimination of much of the mediocre crap that filled their weeknight schedules.
Like I said, it sounded like a good idea.

While
Saved garnered quite a few good reviews, and some respectable ratings, it's no
The Closer. And apparently the press and numbers weren't enough to convince TNT that there should be a second season of the Tom Everett Scott drama. Instead, the network is looking to bring
two different pilots to series.
Holly Hunter stars in
Grace as an Oklahoma City police detective who is visited by an angel and given a chance to redeem her life. It also stars Tom Irwin (
Related), and Laura San Giacomo (
Just Shoot Me). I'll watch anything with Holly Hunter, or Laura San Giacomo, in it at least once, so I plan to tune in when this show takes off. But based just on the tag line, my expectations are low.
Also on the schedule is
Heartland. This one stars Treat Williams as the brilliant surgeon, Nathaniel Grant. His dedication to his work causes problems with his health and his relationships. Now, if you are thinking, "Hey, that sounds a whole lot like
Everwood." then you and I are on the same page. The show even stars Gage Golightly as his daughter Thea, who doesn't seem so far removed from Delia. Still, Treat Williams is always worth a look. And it has the bonus of Morena Baccarin (Firefly) as well. The show is currently planned to follow
The Closer.

Ugly Betty; Allison Mack,
Smallville; Sara Rue,

I know that we already have a 'Ask TV Squad' category to answer questions from our beautiful and intelligent readers, but that is usually meant for one question at a time. In this episode of 'The Five' I'd like to reply to a number of questions that have come to us over the last few weeks. So, without further ado . . .
1. Steph writes 'Please help! Is Psych canceled? I just discovered it and I've only seen reruns.'
Fear not, dear Steph. Psych is just taking a mid-season break, which is normal for cable shows to do. The USA Network comedy, which stars James Roday, Dule Hill and Corbin Bernsen, returns with new episodes in January of 2007.

Fans of the late CBS drama
Smith will be happy to hear this. Jonny Lee Miller, who played Tom on
Smith, has
just signed on to star in a new drama for ABC titled
Eli Stone. It's from Greg Berlanti, the guy who created
Everwood, and Marc Guggenheim, a former attorney.
The plot is about a lawyer who finds out that he might also be a prophet. Ahem.
So many lawyer jokes going though my head right now...can't concentrate...
I just hope he's not a prophet who talks to the dead while solving crimes.

It looks like Everwood is really, really, really, really not coming back. You want proof? Well, how about the creator of the series, Greg Berlanti, leaving Warner Brothers TV and relocating to ABC and its sister production company Touchstone TV. Still don't believe me? Gosh, you're stubborn.
Berlanti, the creator of the recently canceled WB drama as well as the critically acclaimed Jack & Bobby (also canceled), has two drama pilots in development for ABC. One of them, a drama entitled Eli Stone, has earned a pilot order from the network. The other untitled drama, about a wealthy family seen through the eyes of their lawyer, has a script order.
According to Zap2it, Eli Stone, will center on a a lawyer (not the same one who represents the wealthy family) who thinks he is becoming a prophet because of visions he is having. Berlanti hopes that the show will discuss the subject of spirituality with a heartfelt sense of humor. The script for the show was written by Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who worked on Jack & Bobby as well as Law & Order and CSI:Miami.

It's that time
of year again, folks! Yep, some of your favorite shows are on the cancellation bubble and you can vote on which
ones you'd like to see next fall and ones that should go far, far away. It's an annual tradition that sometimes
predicts what shows will be renewed and which shows won't. So far you want your Scrubs.
In fact,
according to the ninth annual USA Today 'Save Our Shows'
survey (say that five times fast) a whopping 61 percent of you would like to see the NBC comedy renewed for a
sixth season. Only fourteen percent of you want to see the show die a quick death. Scrubs is a good
bet to be renewed for the fall, as long as the network is willing to pony up the increased dough to the show's
production company, Touchstone Television. If NBC doesn't renew the program there is an equally good chance that
Touchstone's sibling ABC (both are owned by Disney) would pick up the show.
Six more shows on the USA
Today survey have more supporters than detractors: Veronica Mars (UPN), Commander in Chief
(ABC), Everwood (WB), Invasion (ABC), Reba (WB) and The King of Queens (CBS).
After ABC shelved Commander
in Chief this week, there is a good chance that it will not be renewed; Kevin James, the star of The
King of Queens, wants a bigger paycheck for the new season; and Veronica Mars and Reba
are vying for spots on the new CW network, which will be a combination of the WB and UPN.
What
shows have the least amount of supporters? FOX's one-camera comedies The Loop and Free Ride and UPN's
Half and Half and One on One.

Nikki Finke at the L.A. Weekly
investigates the new CW
Network and the control that CBS President and CEO Les Moonves has over the new combo of UPN and the WB.
Supposedly, every single programming decision and every single business decision has to go through Moonves first, as
if he has "sole custody" of the network, according to Finke. She says that under Moonves,
Charmed
will be gone,
7th Heaven will be back, and shows like
Pepper Dennis,
Everwood,
One Tree
Hill, and
The Bedford Diaries are on the fence.
