Cynopsis


 

09/22/06

It’s still premiere week, and there’s a slew of them tonight, as well as a few finales –

Tonight’s Premieres:
CBS:   Ghost Whisperer at 8p; Close to Home at 9p; Numb3rs at 10p
CW:    Friday Night SmackDown at 8p
NBC:   Dateline at 9p, Law & Order at 10p
Showtime:  Sexual Healing at 10p

Tonight’s Finales:
Sci Fi:  Stargate SG-1 (part 1) at 9p, Stargate Atlantis (part 1) at 10p.
IFC:  The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman at 11p, The Business at 1130p

* MORE GOOD STUFF *

On CW’s first official night airing a two-hour premiere of America’s Next Top Model, the network won the night among A18-34 with a 3.2/10 and W18-34 at 4.9/14, according to Live Plus Same Day National Nielsen ratings for September 20. America’s Next Top Model also had its best premiere ratings ever with A18-49 at 2.6/7 and W18-49 at 3.8/10. An interesting sidebar – 71% of the former UPN stations moved to another local station in a market that has now become a CW affiliate, so viewers did figure out where to go to see this show.

SOAPnet will air season one of the ABC series What About Brian starting September 24, and airing on three consecutive Sunday afternoons from 12p-2p . ABC debuts season two of What About Brian on October 9 at 10p.

The Louisiana Superdome will be opened for business on Monday night for the first time since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina when it hosts the New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons game, which can be seen on ESPN’s Monday NIght Football. Additionally, ESPN’s full complement of pregame shows will be from New Orleans, not to mention a plethora of ESPN original programming throughout the day.

I know this has kept you up at night, so let’s help you get some sleep.  The rock band Supernova who sued the Mark Burnett Prods/CBS series Rock Star: Supernova, has reached a settlement in the case. The original band will keep its name, Supernova, and the TV band will henceforth be known as Rock Star Supernova.  Okay?  Say G’night, Gracie.

If you’re looking for the golfer in your life and can’t find him or her today or through the weekend, find a TV.   They’ll be there watching the Ryder Cup live from The K Club, Straffan, Ireland, which tees off this morning on USA Network at 8am and continues coverage thru 6p this evening, and then over the weekend on NBC, Saturday 8a-6p and Sunday 7a-1230p.  You know where to find me.  

And if you’re annoyed your TV may be dedicated to golf this weekend – there’s probably another TV in the house you can use.  According to Nielsen Media Research, the average home has 2.73 TV sets in it, and only 2.55 people.  Don’t ask about the partials – it’s an ugly visual.

* PRODUCTION / DEVELOPMENT / CASTING *

TNT‘s new project Grace starring Holly Hunter, has added Laura San Giacomo as co-star.  The drama project is about a cop (Hunter) who has become pretty jaded over the years, and gets an opportunity to redeem herself when she is visited by a nutty angel. No San Giacomo isn’t the angel, she plays a forensic scientist and Hunter’s best friend.  Leon Rippy plays the angel.

Gabriel Byrne returns to the small screen, and it’s about time.  He has been cast in an HBO drama project called In Treatment, as a compassionate and caring therapist. However, when he decides to visit with a therapist himself, in those sessions he becomes angry, and questions his every move and motive.  HBO has ordered 5 episodes.

Starz Entertainment has ordered up three new series:

  • Martin Lawrence’s 1st Amendment Standup is a weekly series featuring young and some times new standup comics, from exec producer Martin Lawrence. Getting the hosting gig is Doug Williams.  This project has received a 10-episode order.
  • Head Case is about a Hollywood therapist catering to the Hollywood jet set, shown in interstitial 5-minute format, starring Alexandra Wentworth. 20 such interstitials have been ordered.
  • The Bronx Bunny is based on a UK series, about a couple of gutter-mouthed puppets hosting their own talkshow. Starz has ordered ten 15-minute segments.

Casting Note:  The producers of a new weight loss and healthy lifestyle primetime special are looking for people living in the tri-state area who are hectic, frazzled executives, busy moms or blue collar workers. Interested individuals must be 30-something and available during October to work with a famous chef/nutritionist/TV personality for a 10-day period in New York City and follow a healthy eating plan and lifestyle alterations. Send an email with contact information, a current photo and a description about your life, background and why you are interested in this chance to improve your life to: [email protected].

Casting Note: WSBS-Mega TV Canal 22 will launch its new educational campaign, Tu Mega TV, on September 25.  The goal of Tu Mega TV is to discover and promote new on-air talent and others who want a career in broadcast production.  Those who want to participate in Tu Mega TV, including high school and college kids living in the US and Puerto Rico will need to submit a video clip with their “unique story” to www.mega.tv . Those individuals selected will have the opportunity to post their video on the channel’s shows such as Mega News, Zona Cero, Noticero, Paparazzi TV, Lamusica.com, and Bayly.
