The WGA granted the awards show a waiver today, meaning
Presenters will be funny
No picket lines and no boycotting

CBS just ordered episodes of a Canadian cop drama called “Flashpoint,” which starts shooting in Toronto in April.

I mean really, how many interesting answers can people have to these questions? Who’s going to come … continued »

Several stations are planning “counter programming” during the big game.
Today TNT announced it would show a “marathon” of its hit series “The Closer” starring Kyra Sedgwick, showing nine episodes of the series starting at noon.
This is one of the smartest cop “dramedys” on television. Sedgwick gives a nice edge to her Brenda Lee Johnson, a brilliant southern sleuth hooked on candy.
Sister station, TBS, will show a series of chick flicks, starting at 9:30 a.m. with … continued »
