90210 Gets a Dad

Monday May 19, 2008
Jim Walsh may have been the perfect father figure on the original 90210, but the contemporary version will have a dad that will have most women viewers swooning! The recently canceled Women's Murder Club certainly didn't keep Rob Estes out of work for long -- the hunky actor (and former Melrose Place star) has just signed on to play the role of Harry Mills on the CW's fall series 90210.

More 90210 Casting News....

Rumor has it that Tori Spelling is in negotiations to reprise her role as Donna Martin-Silver on the new series. Could David Silver be far behind? I wouldn't count on it as Brian Austin Green has already signed on for season two of Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Summer Premiere Schedule

Sunday May 18, 2008
The regular television season is almost over, but a whole crop of new and returning dramas are headed to a small screen near you in less than two weeks.

It has become tradition over the last few years for cable networks such as TNT, USA and ABC Family to air their series during the summer months. Viewers have come to anxiously anticipate the return of their perennial favorites without having to worry about Tivo overload. While many of the new summer show big networks tend to fail in the off-season, the cable networks seem to draw impressive ratings during this time of year. Why? I haven't quite been able to figure this phenomenon out just yet, but perhaps it's the quality and/or the creative freedom the cable networks have over the big guys.

CBS Announces 2008-09 Primetime Schedule

Wednesday May 14, 2008
Remember when CBS used to be the network that appealed to a much older demographic? And then all of a sudden, this huge crop of cool shows appeared, giving the other networks a run for their money for the first time in many years. Since the early days of CSI and Survivor, CBS has been the most watched network on television.

Heading into the 2008-09 season, CBS is sticking to that winning primetime formula by making very few changes to the schedule. Five series have been canceled, but three intriguing new dramas are on tap for the upcoming season and they certainly sound promising.
