CYNTHIA TURNER’S
Cynopsis


06/28/05

Good morning.  It’s Tuesday, June 28, 2005, and this is your first early morning briefing.

Peer to peer file sharing services can be held accountable for copyright piracy committed by individuals who are encouraged to use its service for the illegal downloading of music and movies.  That unanimous decision was handed down yesterday by the US Supreme Court which found in favor of the music and movie industry in the case of MGM Inc. et al. v. Grokster, Ltd., et al.  Justice David H. Souter delivered the Court’s opinion:  “We hold that one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties.”  The Supreme Court decision overturns the previous rulings of two courts that had both sided with Grokster and StreamCast Networks Inc. At the core of the defense argument was a 1984 case, Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios. There the court found Sony was not responsible for copyright pirating by consumers using VCRs to tape TV programs and movies, because Sony’s intention was that end users would use the machines to time-shift their viewing and not to illegally share the recorded material. Justice Souter continued, “Grokster and StreamCast are not … merely passive recipients of information about infringing use. The record is replete with evidence that from the moment Grokster and StreamCast began to distribute their free software, each one clearly voiced the objective that recipients use it to download copyrighted works, and each took active steps to encourage infringement.”  The decision also says, “… there is no evidence that either [Grokster or StreamCast] made an effort to filter copyrighted material from users’ downloads or otherwise impede the sharing of sharing of copyrighted files.” 

Tonight’s Premieres:
ABC:     Empire at 9p
NBC:    Average Joe: The Joe Strikes Back at 8p

* NEW ORDERS / DEVELOPMENT / PRODUCTION *

A veritable bevy of new series orders coming to BBC America including:

  • Viva Blackpool (BBC AMERICA/BBC co-production): The story of Ripley Holden, a wannabe Donald Trump, who dreams of creating his own Las Vegas. Broadway quality song and dance routines performed by the characters include classic tracks from Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra, Billy Idol, The Smiths, Jimmy Cliff and Diana Ross. (6 x 60m)
  • Bodies (Hat Trick Prods): A hospital drama, billed as The Shield for the medical profession. Says BBC America, “It’s ER without the happy endings.” (6 x 60m)
  • Love Soup (BBC AMERICA/BBC co-production): A comedy/drama is about a perfectly suited couple who’ve never met. (6 x 60m)
  • The Robinsons (BBC AMERICA/BBC co-production): A comedy about two brothers, from a perfectly normal ordinary family … except of course for Ed. (6 x 30m)
  • Teachers (Tiger Aspect): Series focuses on the lives, loves and timetables of a group of hapless teachers no sane parent would want teaching their kids.  In fact the teachers have more in common with their students than they’d like to admit.  (8 x 60m)
  • Bad Girls (Shed Productions): A female prison drama packed with love affairs, homemade weapons, hardened officers, and dangerous women. (10 x 60m)

In development at cable network FX is a series based on the Lions Gate film from Paul Haggis, Crash.  The television production will be produced by Lions Gate Television, and conversations are ongoing with film cast members to reprise their roles if the film is made into a series.

NBC has decided not to go forward with its project based on events of 9/11.  Originally announced last May at the NBC Upfront, the project from Imagine and NBC, and was introduced as an 8 hour miniseries. While neither NBC or Imagine are officially commenting, several reports point to the financial aspects of the project as a major concern.

* MORE GOOD STUFF *

Over the years, many a person has told me to go “stick it in your ear!”  Well, I’ve finally decided to do that, and share it with you.  Beginning today, right now, Cynopsis is launching Cyn opsis: In Your Ear – the podcast version.  Not familiar with podcasting?  Think of it as an audio file, or even a poor man’s radio broadcast.  Cyn opsis: In Your Ear is an audio mp3 file of this daily email – read by yours truly, not a professional by any means at this announcing stuff, but a happy participant. It is available for downloading right into your iPod or mp3 player every morning by 630a (okay, maybe 645a). The new  podcast certainly won’t replace the email version as there are many components to this written version you won’t get in the podcast (ratings charts, classifieds, primetime listings, among others). To subscribe to Cyn opsis: In Your Ear – the podcast version, learn more about how to download and what you’ll need (it’s ridiculously easy!), go to the Cynopsis website at www.cynopsis.com. And if you’re one of those folks that say, I’d never download this every morning, it’s too much trouble – know that the download and copying into your mp3 player can be done completely automatically. You don’t need to do a thing except listen.  It’s just that easy. And this is just the beginning – by this fall look for Cyn: Kids, Cyn: MCE and interviews “live to tape” for Cyn:Weekender, all in podcast form. 

HBO will move the first weekly airing of its series Six Feet Under back to Sunday nights as of July 10. The show had debuted its current fifth and final season on June 6 in a new Monday night time period in an effort to build a second night of original programming. The results have been lackluster.  Six Feet Under was averaging 2.2 million viewers on Mondays. Last season it averaged 3.7 million viewers on Sunday nights. Starting July 10, Six Feet Under will air at 9p and serve as lead-in to Entourage and Comeback from 10-11p.  Entourage and Comeback have been airing on Sundays from 9-10p, averaging just 1.4 million viewers and 1.1 million viewers respectively.  The hope is Six Feet Under’s lead-in will help bolster those numbers. On Monday nights, all three shows will get a second play with Entourage/Comeback at 9p and Six Feet Under at 10p.

Programming Note for tonight: ABC News will broadcast live coverage of President Bush’s address at Fort Bragg on from 8-9p.  CBS, NBC and Fox have not announced definitive plans to carry the address. All of the 24/7 cable news networks are expected to provide full coverage.

Fine Living Network will launch the Italian lifestyle series Dolce Vita (FBC) on Sunday July 3rd.  The six-part, 30m series airs every Sunday at 930p thru until the end of September.  According to its press info, Dolce Vita takes its viewers on an unprecedented journey behind the scenes of Italian fashion, design and food, and looks at the famous companies, designers and craftsmen who have made Italy the world leader in fine living.  Each half-hour episode looks at three different Italian luxury brands that best represent modern Italian lifestyle.

Animal Planet will launch the new season of All-New Planet’s Funniest Animals (Brad Lachman Prods) with a new host, Keegan Michael-Key, on June 30 at 8p. Beginning its 7th season, the network has ordered up 13 eps and 2 specials.
 
Correction :  20th’s syndicated off-net series Reba will begin airing on the WB affiliate stations in the fall of 2006, not in January 2006.

Miss America has been crowned by CMT.  The Miss America Organization and the cable net CMT have reached a multi-year agreement to carry  the pageant  beginning in January 2006 and again in 2007, with options thru 2011.  CMT says it will engage all of its promotional resources across the MTV Networks to promote the event, with supportive Miss America programming airing on VH1 prior to the January 2006 premiere.

MTV Networks newest effort Logo debuts on June 30 with 10 million subs. Originally signed on as supporting sponsors are Orbitz, Paramount Pictures and Suburu, are now joined by a handful of new charter advertisers including Lions Gate Films, Key West Tourist Board, Miller Lite, Motorola, sibling Showtime Networks and Tylenol PM. 

Television producer-director Carol Scott Caramadre, who won her fourth Daytime Emmy Award just last month for General Hospital, died June 24 after a two and a half year battle with chondro sarcoma cancer, at her home in Studio City, California.  She was 56. Under her end-credit nameline, Carol Scott, was one of a handful of females breaking new ground in the television industry during the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s, as an associate director, a tape and film director and, later, as a hands-on producer.  Her history includes primetime work (Night Court and All in the Family), John Denver’s Australian summer music series.  She was also the producer of the 1982 videotape re-staging of Bob Fosse’s musical Pippin, which was the first Broadway musical ever captured by TV cameras during live stage performance in the history of Broadway, or TV. She began her work with General Hospital in 1993 in several capacities including camera director, line producer, co-producer, editorial supervisor and producer.  She is survived by her husband of four years Brian Caramadre; by her 21 year old daughter Kelly Marie Sheehan. A private memorial service for family and friends will be held next week. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the Premiere Oncology Foundation, attn: Lee Rosen, M.D., 2020 Santa Monica Blvd. Suite 510, Santa Monica, California 90404.
