Going back and reading my review of the second season of "House" I am surprised at how generic and boring I was. I have a far different recollection of that season than what I wrote down. Sure, the first season of "House" hit me like a ton of bricks. I loved it and I recommended it to anyone that hadn't watched it yet. The sarcastic nature of Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) was right up my alley and the detective/medical aspect of the show was highly entertaining. However, the second season played the sarcastic angle way too hard and I was beginning to think it was a one trick pony with an out of control ego. Basically I was getting the impression the writers of the show thought they were too clever for their own good. Reading my second season review you would think I had the season mounted on

TV writer-producer Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) has disclosed that as the writers' strike dragged on into January, he and "seven or eight" other top screenwriters were invited to a dinner at the home of writer-producer Paul Attanasio (House) -- each of whom was concerned that the strike was creating unwarranted hardship to hundreds of members of the industry. In an interview with GQ magazine, Sorkin said, "We all agreed that we had been irresponsible and that, in an effort not to seem elitist, we had remained quiet during this strike. We hadn't voiced our objections. We hadn't put pressure on Patric Verrone and the other heads of the union to end this thing." Sorkin said that the meeting took place the day after the Directors Guild had reached an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. He said that at some point that evening, a call was placed to the WGA leadership. "We named who we were in the room and said that if we didn't see fast action over the next forty-eight hours, that we would have to make our feelings public." Asked whether the threat was effective, Sorkin replied that he had no idea if it did. "I know that the strike ended. I could have been for entirely different reasons."

After being bumped off the top of the Nielsen weekly ratings list a week earlier by baseball's All-Star Game, NBC's America's Got Talent regained its leadership as America's most-watched summer show, with 13.2 million viewers. On the other hand, two new summer shows that were expected to perform strongly proved to be disappointments. Both aired on ABC. The game show Wanna Bet? and the High School Musical spinoff Get in the Picture attracted just 3.1 million viewers each. Sticking mostly with reruns, CBS nevertheless won the week with an average 4.1 rating and 7 share. Fox and NBC tied for second with a 3.5/6. ABC trailed with a 2.8/5.

The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research:1. America's Got Talent, NBC, 7.9/13; 2. Two and a Half Men, CBS, 6.4/11; 3. 60 Minutes, CBS, 6.3/13; 4. NCIS, CBS, 5.9/10; 5.

The singing skills Teri Hatcher displayed during May's American Idol Idol Gives Back telethon have earned her another gig with Desperate Housewives' co-star James Denton and his band.

Hatcher sang Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats while fronting all-star group Band From TV, which features House stars Hugh Laurie and Jesse Spencer, and now the group has invited her back for an encore.

The actress will perform with the band during an Orange County Flyers baseball match this weekend. Denton co-owns the team.

Former House actress Anne Dudek is expecting her first child with artist husband Matthew Heller.

Dudek, whose character Dr. Amber Volakis was killed off the medical drama, is nearly five months pregnant.

The 33 year old showed off her bump for the first time at the premiere of season two of her new show Mad Men in Los Angeles on Monday.

She told reporters, "I'm having a baby."

And she revealed her unborn baby will be making its acting debut in another show she has a part in - Big Love.

Dudek continues, "The thing is I haven't been that pregnant while I've been working on House or Mad Men or Big Love. But Big Love we're going to be filming for a while and I'm starting to get a little bigger now."

According to the Daily Mail, he recently purchased an English-style country house with a gym, a pool and guest house.

ABC and Fox ran neck-and-neck during the first two hours of primetime Monday night, with ABC scoring slightly higher in the overall ratings and Fox slightly higher in total viewers. ABC's strength came from the summer reality series The Bachelorette, while Fox relied on repeats of its regular season hits, Bones and House. CBS took over the lead at 10:00 p.m. with a rerun of CSI: Miami.

In an apparent effort to avoid last year's embarrassment when the titles of the "short lists" of Emmy contenders leaked out on the Internet, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences made the unprecedented decision on Thursday to itself reveal the full lists. The lists -- ten shows in the best-comedy category; ten in the best-drama -- are determined by the votes of all members of the academy. A "blue ribbon" panel then winnows the lists down to the five official nominees in each category, which this year are due to be announced on July 17. (This year's Emmy awards show is scheduled for Sept. 21.) The ten drama finalists include: Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, Friday Night Lights, Grey's Anatomy, House, Lost, Mad Men, The Tudors and The Wire. The ten comedy finalists include: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, Family Guy, Flight of the Conchords, The Office, Pushing Daisies, 30 Rock, Two and a Half Men, Ugly Betty and Weeds.

The first two games of the NBA finals produced the best initial ratings for the championship series in four years. Sunday's telecast, which drew 13.5 million viewers, attracted an audience that was 60 percent larger than the comparable game a year ago. Although it did not land in the top ten (largely because three shows tied for ninth place) the new CBS drama Swingtown got off to a solid start with 9 million viewers. Washington Post TV writer Lisa de Moraes said that the show received "a promo shot in the arm" from the Parents Television Council, which urged CBS stations to drop it because of its allegedly salacious content. The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research:1. NBA Finals - Game 1, ABC, 8.7/16; 2. NBA Finals - Game 2, ABC, 8.5/15; 3. 60 Minutes, CBS, 6.5/13; 3.

Propects for Emmy acting awards

From drama, comedy and miniseries, these actors are up for the part.

June 4, 2008

Emmy's winners for acting are chosen in a three-tier system by actors who belong to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. During the first two weeks of June, they participate in a popular vote that determines a Top 10 runoff in each race. Finalists submit a sample episode of their best work to judges, whose scores are combined by accountants in a 50-50 mix with results of the original popular vote. The five nominees in each category are then announced July 17. Winners are decided based on judges' scores of the sample episodes and are revealed at the awards ceremony to

After much hand wringing over the erosion of ratings for American Idol during its latest season, the two final episodes last week -- Tuesday's performance show and Wednesday's results show -- wound up capturing bigger ratings than the comparable finale a year ago. Tuesday's telecast drew 27 million viewers; Wednesday's, 32 million. Together they gave Fox an easy win for the final official week of the 2007-08 season with an average 7.3 rating and a 13 share. CBS and ABC tied for second with a 5.6/10, while NBC continued to trail with a 3.5/6. Meanwhile, Fox reality shows that produced solid ratings for the network when they followed American Idol continued to lead their rivals on their own this week, the first week of the summer season -- although their numbers were down from the previous week. Hell's Kitchen and Moment of Truth likely benefited from the fact that the competition was a slew of network reruns. On Wednesday, the two-hour return of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance led the field, with the first hour recording a 5.3/9 and the second, a 6.3/10.

The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research: 1. American Idol (Wednesday), Fox, 17.7/28; 2. American Idol (Tuesday), Fox, 15.1/24; 3. Dancing With the Stars (Tuesday), ABC, 12.9/20; 4. Dancing With The Stars (Monday), ABC, 12.4/20; 5. Grey's Anatomy, ABC, 11.8/19; 6. CSI: Miami, CBS, 10.4/17; 7. NCIS, CBS, 10.3/16; 8. House (Monday), Fox, 10.0/15; 9. Two and a Half Men, CBS, 9.0/14; 10. Criminal Minds, CBS, 8.3/13.

In a festival that's boasted such fine music docs as "Lou Reed's Berlin" and "Playing for Change: Peace Through Music," along with an appearance from Madonna to promote the non-musical Malawi doc "I Am Because We Are," Tribeca has also turned out to be a place where musicians put down their instruments and pick up scripts. Though acting is nothing particularly new for either Mariah Carey or Dave Matthews, the two have taken on supporting roles in the low-budget films "Tennessee" and "Lake City," respectively, both in this year's line-up. Here's a look at how they measured up.

Mariah Carey, "Tennessee"

Albums sold: Over 160 million worldwide.

Previous acting experience: "Glitter," the straight-to-dvd "WiseGirls"

Role believability: We're inclined to believe that Carey's early moments in the film, as a forlorn waitress longing for a better life, might've been inspired by the fact that shooting in New Mexico was

In April, dozens of scripted shows will return to the broadcast networks. Thank goodness! Though I've already posted details on the returns of "The Office" (here and here) "30 Rock," "Ugly Betty" and "House," I thought I'd collect all the information I have in one place.

First, here's a chronological list of return dates (to see the return dates sorted by network, go here).

Second, for those who want more than just return dates, I've got details on what will happen on many shows, in addition to the ones mentioned above, on the second half of this item.

If you don’t spot a favorite show on either list, by the way, be aware that some programs aren’t returning until fall, and the fate of several others has not been officially announced yet. There's more info on what's returning in the fall here.

Fox had no NFL playoffs to buoy its ratings last week, but it did have American Idol, and even though the talent contest's ratings were somewhat off from what they were a year ago, they still looked better than anything else in sight, as Tuesday and Wednesday's telecasts finished first and second for the week among overall viewers and those 18-49. A rerun of Fox's House also crushed the competition on Tuesday night. Overall, Fox averaged a 6.9 rating and an 11 share for the week. CBS followed with a 6.1/10. NBC came in third with a 5.1/8, while ABC trailed with a 4.4/7. The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research: 1. American Idol (Tuesday), Fox, 16.2/24; 2. American Idol (Wednesday), Fox, 15.1/23; 3. Moment of Truth, Fox, 12.9/19; 4. 60 Minutes, CBS, 9.5/15; 5. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CBS, 8.6/13; 5. Hallmark Hall of Fame: The Russell Girl, CBS, 8.6/13; 7. Deal or No Deal, (Monday), NBC, 8.5/13; 7. Deal or No Deal (Wednesday), NBC, 8.5/13; 7. House, Fox, 8.5/13; 10.
