Latest TV News & Links for 1/15/09

Posted by on January 15, 2009 in Television | 0 comments


Because my life is about to consumed by all things Lost when Season 5 begins next week, I do not want to neglect this blog.

I thought I’d try out a new weekly feature in the style of the USA Today Pop Candy and the Houston Chronicle Tubular blogs; links to relevant television news and my brief response to each.

Arrested Development movie; Michael Cera on hold?
Cera shouldn’t shun the role which put him on the map now that he’s achieved a certain level of success on the big screen, and AD wouldn’t be AD without young George Michael.

Damages, Season 2: A Big Chill Reunion for Glenn Close & William Hurt
One of the most intriguing and compelling shows on television; if you’re not on the bandwagon yet, rent Season 1 this weekend.

Friday Night Lights returns tomorrow night (for those of us who don’t have DirecTV)
I’ve missed Tammy and Coach, and really look forward to this season.

Jericho to be revived again, perhaps on the big screen
I watched it after the fact and LOVED it, so I’m on board for the film.

The L Word‘s final season begins on Sunday; spin-off for Alice?
I have a love/hate relationship with the series and was openly thrilled to be spoiled ahead of time with news of a death that occurs in episode 1, and although Leisha Hailey’s character is my favorite…I will not tune in if they revamp Alice and take off in an entirely new direction.

Amy Ryan will return to The Office
Hallelujah…perhaps she’ll bring the mojo with her that this season seems to have misplaced.

Remaining Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone episodes to air this summer
Thank you for answering my question from Monday, ABC, even if your answer is disappointing; if I were Tina Fey, I’d tell you to ‘suck it.’

More to follow early next week!
