Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 13 May 2013 00:48:21 +0000

We'd be hard pressed to say who had the most brutal of cancellations and fruitful pickups between the five major networks this weekend, but few would offer that NBC had any undeserved ends. Even so, the peacock has become the first among the five to set its major schedule, moving 'Revolution' and 'Parenthood' to new nights, scheduling Jonathan Rhys-Meyers 'Dracula' for fall and moving 'Community' and more to midseason! Get the lowdown on NBC's new lineup inside!

NBC's 'Smash': Ousted Showrunner Theresa Rebeck Calls Season 2 A "Disaster"

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 01 May 2013 04:26:13 +0000

Even the most casual of 'Smash' viewers knows that what started as a promising Broadway musical drama quickly devolved into the target of critical angst, leading to a complete creative shakeup in season 2 and the replacement of show-runner Theresa Rebeck with 'Gossip Girl' helmer Josh Safran. Now, as the series lies on the verge of cancellation, Rebeck had some rather harsh words for the direction 'Smash' has taken in season 2, and her own involvement in the debacle.

Back in February, I wrote a post about a guy who put his entire resume on a candy bar wrapper. I also included my own story of getting noticed in a highly competitive field by introducing the "shoe resume." A few weeks later I received a call from a Today Show producer who read the article and invited me up to 30 Rock to talk about it.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 03:17:46 +0000

Last week, we heard a surprising-if-unreliable rumor that David Lynch's legendary spookfest 'Twin Peaks' was being eyed for a revival on NBC, to either pick up where things left off on a season 2 cliffhanger, or bring the story into the modern day. The rumors of a 'Twin Peaks' revival seem largely to have been de-bunked, but has the rumor now inspiried actual development from NBC? New 'Twin Peaks' scoop inside!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:30:46 +0000

While everyone has their own opinion of the direction NBC's 'The Office' has taken in the years without Steve Carell, as the series approaches its final swan song most would agree any finale would feel incomplete without Carell's character Michael Scott returning for one final "that's what she said." So while we move closer to 'The Office's ninth season and series finale, will Steve Carell return? NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt has an answer that might surprise you, so check out the new details inside!

Laurie Cataldo — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:19:01 +0000

Who knew something as innocent as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony could be so…scandalous. So what’s at the *ahem*center of it all? Mariah Carey’s…assets. In the pre-taped portion of the show, Mariah Carey sang her hit holiday tune ‘All I Want for Christmas is You.’ Unfortunately, I don’t think many people paid attention [...]

'Community' Shocker: Chevy Chase Officially Leaves the Series

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:08:46 +0000

Streets ahead? Streets behind? Just plain streets? Any loyal 'Community' fan knows that for as long as the series has aired on NBC, series star Chevy Chase has had a public distaste for its brand of humor, his character Pierce Hawthorne, and particularly former show-runner Dan Harmon. Chase himself has hinted multiple times that he might leave the series, and has now officially confirmed his exit. But with so much of the thirteen-episode season 4 shot, will we really miss him?

'Community' Season 4 Premiere Delayed, Possibly Moving Off Fridays

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:56:05 +0000

Streets behind! For those of us anxiously awaiting the fourth season of NBC's 'Community,' and the first under new show-runners Moses Port and David Gurarascio, the wait just got a little longer. Details are still pouring in, but it seems NBC has reneged on its plans to premiere both 'Community' season 4 and 'Whitney' season 2 on October 19, potentially taking either comedy off of Friday as well. But why would NBC make such a last-minute change, and when will we get our beloved 'Community?'

'Today Show' Talks Breast Implants Instead of 9/11 Moment of Silence [VIDEO]

Matt Ryan — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:29:09 +0000

The Today show got people’s attention today when the morning program aired an interview segment of Kardashian-mom Kris Jenner talking about her breast plastic surgery instead of honoring the 8:46 a.m. moment of silence in remembrance of the 11th anniversary of 9/11/01. It seems like really bad timing here, assuming this was a mistake or [...]
