Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.
I don't know if
Legend of the Seeker could be considered a guilty pleasure or not. I mean, if you like something, why does it have to be a "guilty" pleasure? Having said that, I think a lot of people would consider this show something they're not willing to admit they like. But I'll admit it: I like it. It's a fun show.

The Office,
30 Rock,

CBS programming chief Nina Tassler held court this morning in the CBS executive session. Her network is in an extremely strong position, so there wasn't much in the way of controversy to report, but here are some interesting tidbits from the session:
- Laurence Fishburne's character of Dr. Langston on CSI will assume a more take-charge position this year, he'll also be given a "wardrobe makeover" so he seems, as Tassler put it "more comfortable in his own clothes."
- Jorja Fox will be back for the first five episodes. And one of the main characters will get promoted. I won't spoil it for you, but you can probably figure out who it might be.
- A new Let's Make A Deal with Wayne Brady as host, will be taking the place of Guiding Light. Tassler wouldn't go so far as saying this is a trend towards the return of daytime network game shows, but she did say she wanted to get a new LMAD on the air for a while.
- No plans to bring back Flashpoint right now, though they can. More Canadian cross-production deals on the way, including The Bridge.
- On NBC's late-night / Leno strategies: "Whatever numbers they get, they'll declare victory anyway, so it doesn't matter."
- On the departure of Ben Silverman of NBC: "I'm really just a D-girl, so I wouldn't comment."

In case you didn't know, I'm Canadian. That being said, I watch tons and tons of American TV, partially because our main English channels -- CTV and Global, just to name two -- mostly air US shows. And, let's admit it, I enjoy a lot the shows created by my friends south of the border.
Since there are more TV shows produced in the US and because actors can make more money down south, a lot of Canadian actors go to the USA. to work (or try to get work in a US show shot in Vancouver or Toronto). Here I present you with ten Canadian actors currently starring in lead roles in various primetime US TV shows. Did you know these ten actors were not from the US?

Remember last summer, that CBS drama about life in 1976, the music, the fashions, the wife-swapping and key parties? Yes,
Swingtown, the daring drama that flirted with controversial subjects, but was essentially a well-produced soap opera in the tradition of
Knots Landing? Well, after months of no news about the show, we learn today that no news is bad news.
Swingtown has been cancelled.
CBS president Nina Tassler championed the show, but apparently she couldn't save it. At the press tour presentation she talked lovingly about the drama, even patting the network on the back to taking a risk by broadcasting it. But in the end, the good performances, excellent writing, critical approval and cult following it garnered didn't matter.

With all this talk that the fall season not exactly thrilling TV viewers (old shows losing viewers, not many new shows catching on in a big way,
quirky favorites being canceled), it's probably time to start talking about what shows we can expect after the new year, at least from two of the networks.
On
ABC we have
Castle, with Nathan Fillion as a mystery novelist who helps police solve crimes (
of course he does). It starts Monday, March 9 at 10pm. ABC also has
The Unusuals, with Amber Tamblyn as a cop transferred to a new precinct filled with odd characters. It starts Wednesday, April 8 at 10pm. And as we've already told you, the new version of
Cupid is coming to ABC too. It starts on Tuesday, March 24 at 10pm.
The new season of
Lost premieres on Wednesday, January 21 at 9pm, and
Scrubs comes back on Tuesday, January 6 at 9pm.
