Cynopsis

6/21/07

Good morning, it’s Thursday, June 21, 2007 and this is your first early morning briefing. 

Our headline news — the arrival of the most exquisite Halle Anne Root, the 7 lb 12 oz daughter of Marilee and Gary Root and granddaughter of me, who made her debut at 7:48pm last evening.  The whole family is happy, healthy and perfect.

Elsewhere in the world — The upfront season for the broadcast appears to be winding down and some of the totals and percent increases being bandied about include:  ABC finishing ahead of last year by 5% at $2.4 billion with rate increase of 8%-10%. Fox saw increases in the 7%-10% range, and is expected to finish with $1.8 billion.  As did ABC, CBS is expected to finish ahead of last year by about 5% with a total of $2.5 billion in upfront ad sales, with rate increases in the 5%-8% range.  NBC is still wrapping up, but will reportedly bring in about $1.8 to $1.9 billion, with rate increases in the area of 5% to 6%. The CW is still in the works and no numbers are coming from that camp as yet.  Last year this newly formed hybrid network brought in approx $600 million in upfront sales commitments.

Tonight’s Premieres:
CNBC:
American Greed at 10p and 1a
Sundance Channel: Live from Abbey Road at 10p
 
Tonight’s Finales:

~ PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT ~

Later this summer, VH1 will launch its third night of original programming on Thursdays. A slew of new projects in development will premiere this fourth quarter or first quarter 2008 to fill up this additional night of original programming:

  • The Salt ‘N’ Pepa Show – the female rap duo will reunite on and off the stage in this 10-episode reality series produced by Left/Right Inc.
  • America’s Most Smartest Model – a reality competition series, hosted by Mary Alice Stephenson and Ben Stein, that has 7 female models and 7 male models showing off their beauty and brains. 10-episodes produced by 51 Pictures and Mindless Entertainment.
  • Click! – fashion photographer Russell James will mentor 10 amateur photographers who will live and work together in a downtown L.A. loft to learn the ins and outs of becoming a fashion photographer. 10 x 10 Entertainment is the production entity behind this eight-episode series.
  • Danny Bonaduce’s Child Star (tentative title) – knowing all too well what’s it’s like being a child star, Danny will guide talented kids and their stage parents through various challenges on how to make it in today’s Hollywood. Eight one-hour episodes are executive produced by Danny and Gretchen Bonaduce and produced by 3 Ball Productions.
  • Free Radio – eight-episode, half-hour improvised comedy about an L.A. morning talk radio show host played by improv comedian Lance Krall. Rory Rosegarten and Lance Krall are executive producers.

AMC has ordered up a new series off its development slate.  Breaking Bad from Sony Pictures Television stars Bryan Cranston as a school chemistry science teacher who upon learning his own fate, fights for the financial security of his family by creating a meth lab in the school science lab.  AMC has ordered 8 episodes and plans to debut the series in 2008.

Fox has ordered up a fourth season of American Dad from 20th Century Fox TV, says Hollywood Reporter. The network has ordered 22 episodes for the new season, scheduled for the 2008-09 season.  This order will take the series over the hump for the number of episodes needed to syndicate the show with a total of 84.

Casting Call: CBS will host two open casting calls for its new summer game show Power of 10, hosted by Drew Carey. The first audition will be this Friday in Atlantic City followed by another on June 27 in New York City. Applications are available at CBS.com or contestant hopefuls can enter online at ( http://www.cbs.com/primetime/powerof10/ ). This game show will have contestants predict the American public’s response to a variety of poll questions with $10 million at stake. The show will premiere at a special time on August 7 at 8p then move to its regular time slot on Wednesdays at 8p starting August 8.

Casting Call: Procter & Gamble Productions (PGP) and the New York Television Festival (NYTVF) have jointly launched the PGP-NYTVF Comedy Talent Search. The national contest will cast six to fifteen performers – actors, comedians and improvisational entertainers – to form The Procter & Gamble Productions Players where they will develop and perform live comedy sketches for The Procter & Gamble Productions Comedy Hour during the NYTVF in Manhattan September 5-10. Performers are invited to submit a 2-4 minute original comedy sketch that includes a minimum of two players but not more than five players. The sketches can be uploaded online at nytvf.com/2007_contests_pgp or for public viewing on MSN Soapbox. The deadline to submit sketches is August 3.
