USA Network confirmed it has renewed the series Burn Notice for a third season and Psych for season #4. Each series got a 16-episode order. Burn Notice is produced by Fox TV Studios and Fuse Entertainment while Psych is from Universal Cable Productions and Tagline Pictures. Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign bought a commercial-free half-hour on CBS in primetime for a special on October 29 at 8p. On this night, CBS will move The New Adventures of Old Christine back to 830p and pre-empt Gary Unmarried. Washington-based advertising agency, GMMB placed the buy and Sen. Obama’s campaign also bought a half-hour on NBC and is in talks with FOX to make a like purchase but there could be a scheduling problem due to a potential World Series game that night. Other presidential candidates have bought longform buys in primetime before as Ross Perot made a similar purchase in 1992. Discovery Channel introduces its new series Time Warp on Wednesday, October 15 at 8p with back to back 30m episodes. Time Warp slows everything down to extreme slow motion, showing viewers how a juggler can toss around chain saws and not get hurt, a martial artist braking a stone slab, and other slowed down moments in time. Hosting duties go to Jeff Lieberman, and the series is produced by Creative Differences. VH1 has picked up a second season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew from Irwin Entertainment, with the first of 8 episodes set to premiere on October 23rd at 10p. A sneak peak of the first episodes will be available on VH1.com starting on October 17. ~ PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT ~
MTV tapped Whitney Port (The Hills) to star in a new series, The City which will follow her professional and personal life after she moves to New York City, per Multichannel News. The City is from Adam DiVello of Done and Done Productions, creator and executive producer of The Hills. The City will open in first quarter 2009 with Liz Gateley, Sean Travis and DiVello as executive producers; Colin Nash as co-executive producer; and Spike Van Briesen and Sophia Rossi as supervising producers. This Is Your Life, which began as a radio show in 1948 then later was one of early TV’s biggest hits on NBC, will be making a comeback. Mark Burnett and Ralph Edwards Productions are teaming to produce a new version in a deal brokered by William Morris. This Is Your Life focuses on a participant who is surprised by stories and guests relating their past history. Production started in North Carolina on the new HBO sitcom Eastbound and Down executive produced by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Chris Henchy, Jody Hill, Danny McBride and Best Best. The six-episode comedy stars Danny McBride as Kenny Powers, a major league baseball pitcher who gets kicked out because of bad behavior and becomes a gym teacher at the middle school in the North Carolina town where he grew up. The series is slated to debut next year. ~ ELSEWHERE IN CYNOPSIS ~
