Below are a few snippets of entertainment news along with my thoughts:
Harry's Law is now
minus two of it's major supporting characters in
Hairspray cutie
Brittany Snow and London-born
Aml Ameen.
NBC's decision to renew the show came as a slight surprise given that the
ratings weren't stellar. Looks like NBC is re-tooling Harry, but, what's more surprising is how prominently Snow and Ameen are featured on NBC's cite and on the
WB's 2011 Emmy campaign. Better Luck next time, kids.
More difficulties for The Peacock: A Utah NBC affiliate will not carry the period piece
The Playboy Club starring country crooner
LeAnn Rimes' husband,
Eddie Cibrian. This isn't the first time NBC has seen affiliates pull away from it's more controversial shows. Recall the 2006 show
The Book of Daniel? No? Well, all you really need to know is that it was a disaster. Even though people are talking about The Playboy Club and it's getting press, that's not always a positive thing.
AMC has renewed
The Killing. Decent ratings, a compelling and sought after lead in
Mireille Enos plus overly flattering reviews (likely due to the fact that there were so few shows of substance this year) have resulted in the second season pick up of
The Killing. I'm behind in watching this drama, but, from where I'm at, I find the show interesting, yet, awfully slow. Nevertheless, congrats to the cast and crew.
Starting September,
Glenn Beck will
stream his show online for $5 a month. Beck's show currently airs on
The Fox News Network and is set to end at the end of the month. Not only do I believe that Beck's streaming show will be a lucrative enterprise, I think being on an online only network will be a much better fit for Beck and his fans.
