'Up All Night's Will Arnett Joins CBS Pilot, How Many More Nails Does the Coffin Need?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:02:17 +0000

For weeks now the 'Up All Night's debacle has been kicking into high gear, as prior to shooting even one episode of the struggling NBC series' three-camera retool, series star Christina Applegate abandoned ship. Most recently, we'd heard that fellow stars Maya Rudolph and Will Arnett were eying their own departures, Rudolph disclosing a fourth pregnancy and Arnett being courted for a new multi-camera CBS pilot, and now the latter has been made official. Will Arnett will lead Greg Garcia's untitled new comedy, but is NBC still holding on to 'Up All Night?'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:39:00 +0000

CBS may not yet have given us any real look 'Under the Dome' as production gears up, but its casting sure has turned heads. Last week casting 'Breaking Bad' star Dean Norris as the Stephen King-adapted piece's villain, 'Under the Dome' has next cast ousted 'Twilight' actress Rachelle Lefevre in the leading female role. Will the hotly anticipated summer series break out of its shell or find itself lost in the summer shuffle? Go 'Under the Dome' with the latest casting inside!

Sarah Michelle Gellar Joins Robin Williams in CBS Pilot 'Crazy Ones'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:08:26 +0000

Did a CBS sitcom just become our new favorite comedy pick of pilot season? You betcha! Having previously cast comic legend Robin Williams, CBS pilot 'Crazy Ones' has made yet another terrific addition: former 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' star Sarah Michelle Gellar! Following the demise of The CW's 'Ringer,' Gellar will once again return to TV for the David E. Kelley single-camera comedy, taking the role of Williams' character's daughter, but will it be any good? Get the inside scoop on 'Crazy Ones' with SMG inside!

'Harry Potter's Rupert Grint to Become CBS' 'Super Clyde'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 23:41:38 +0000

Redheaded 'Harry Potter' franchise star Rupert Grint might have grown up playing one of modern literature's greatest sidekicks, but that isn't stopping the former Ron Weasley from breaking out as a leading man, and a superhero in his own right. Following the close of the billion-dollar film franchise, Rupert Grint's next major project will take him to CBS as the leading man of upcoming single-camera comedy pilot 'Super Clyde,' but will he prove up to the task? Get the scoop on 'Super Clyde' inside!

'How I Met Your Mother' Season 9: Stars Confirm Additional Season!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:30:37 +0000

It might be among the worst-kept secrets in TV about now, though while neither CBS nor 'How I Met Your Mother' series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas have issued an official statement about the long-running comedy continuing on for a ninth and final season, series stars Josh Radnor and Neil Patrick Harris were all-too-happy to speak about the additional year. Will 'How I Met Your Mother' season 9 stall the titular meeting, or make for a better ending? Find out what Ted and Barney themselves have to say inside!

'Two and a Half Men': Could Charlie Sheen Return for the Series Finale?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:55:49 +0000

As we roll toward the season of renewals, pilots and pickups, CBS has a great question hanging over its head with regard to the fate of 'Two and a Half Men.' Having survived two additional seasons past Charlie Sheen, the show may face additional departures as its looks toward a potential eleventh season. Yet if 'Two and a Half Men' were to come to an end in the near future, might all be forgiven enough to allow Charlie Sheen a brief return to the series before a potential finale? Sheen speaks out on his 'Two and a Half Men' future inside!

Bryan Singer Producing 'Twilight Zone' Reboot?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:55:55 +0000

It has nothing to do with that other 'Twilight,' nor is it merely a series about a scary door, but 'The Twilight Zone' might be ready for a new generation. Sources are saying that acclaimed 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director Bryan Singer has closed a deal to update the sci-fi/horror classic anthology series for the modern generation (again), likely to land on CBS. What will Bryan Singer bring to a modern 'Twilight Zone?'

Charlie Sheen Invites Angus T. Jones to Join 'Anger Management'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:39:01 +0000

It's the story that just keeps giving! Like we mentioned yesterday when disgraced 'Two and a Half Men' and current 'Anger Management' star Charlie Sheen offered yet another comment on 'Men' star Angus T. Jones' religious-fueled "Filth" rant against the CBS sitcom, it's unlikely Jones will risk rocking the boat any further. However, Sheen now hopes to coerce the young star to ~~join the dark side~~ leave 'Men' behind as he once did, and join him on 'Anger Management!' Would Jones accept the offer?

CBS Goes 'Under the Dome' With Stephen King in Summer 2013

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 22:12:30 +0000

In a rare move that sees major broadcast network CBS taking on a show originally developed for pay-cabler Showtime, CBS has announced that it will take to series an adaptation of esteemed horror author Stephen King's novel 'Under the Dome.' The project is to be written by 'LOST's' Brian K. Vaughn, but will it bring in the post-apocalyptic buzz that 'The Walking Dead' and 'Revolution' have managed to pull in? And will it continue beyond the initial order?

'Two and a Half Men' Update: Angus T. Jones Not Quitting

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:12:51 +0000

As much as we'd love for the fallout from Angus T. Jones' religious rant against 'Two and Half Men' to continue on indefinitely, sooner or later an impass would have to be reached. Charlie Sheen can continue commenting on his former cast-mate's outburst, but given Jones' apology yesterday, there aren't likely to be many further developments. To that end, the actor is believed to stay at his 'Two and a Half Men' job for the moment, but will he leave at the end of the season?

'Two and A Half Men' Star Angus T. Jones Finds Religion, Calls the Show "Filth"

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:11:20 +0000

While we make no personal habit of watching CBS' decade-long powerhouse 'Two and a Half Men,' there's no denying the absurd amount of popularity the former Charlie Sheen-fronted series has achieved in its day. That popularity hasn't always come easily, as recent years saw controversy with series star Charlie Sheen and creator Chuck Lorre explode into the media, but now it seems an all-new development with series star Angus T. Jones has stoked the fires all over again. Could Jones' new-found proclamation of religion put an end to 'Two and a Half Men?'

Robin Williams to Return to TV for CBS Sitcom?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:00:58 +0000

Could Mork be headed back to Earth? It seems Robin Williams’ bite from the TV acting bug might have been bigger than his recent ‘Louie‘ and ‘Wilfred‘ appearances, as the legendary funnyman may have his eye on a new gig at CBS. But what could have lured Williams back to a regular role after over 30 years off the tube, and why does the project have ‘Mad Men‘s Don Draper feeling a shiver up his spine?

CBS Cancels 'CSI: Miami'

Jacob Hall — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:30:45 +0000

On some days, CBS giveth and on other days, CBS taketh away. After ten seasons, ‘CSI: Miami,’ the first spin-off from the massively successful ’CSI’ franchise, has been cancelled. It leaves behind its parent show as well as its sister spin-off, ‘CSI: NY’ (which was quietly renewed). Its sudden departure leaves David Caruso’s career in critical condition.

Fall TV 2011: CBS Cancels '$#*! My Dad Says'; NBC Unveils Fall Schedule

Jon Michaels — Mon, 16 May 2011 11:30:14 +0000

Well, $#*!.

CBS announced Sunday that is pulling the plug on the William Shatner vehicle '$#*! My Dad Says' after just one season.

The sitcom, which was based on the popular Twitter feed by Justin Halpern, debuted to strong ratings last fall, but stumbled as the season progressed. Critics' reviews, meanwhile, were less than kind.

Also getting the axe: the legal drama 'The Defenders' and the new comedy 'Mad Love,' co-starring Judy Greer.
