Originally part of the 2006 Dramatic Independent Film Competition at Sundance, Somebodies has been adapted into a 30m, single-camera comedy format and is written, directed and stars the film’s creator, Hadjii. Shot on location in Athens, GA and the University of Georgia, the story is about Scottie, played by Hadjii, who is trying to find his way in the world but finds himself stuck in the role of “professional” student as his buddies move on to the real world. He then begins a journey of self-discovery.

MSNBC is changing its primetime lineup – coming out is Dan Abrams at 9p and going in is political commentator Rachel Maddow.  Abrams show will have its last airing tomorrow night; Maddow’s program will premiere on September 8th.  Abrams will stay at the network as its chief legal correspondent as well as step in in other areas at both MSNBC and NBC News.

SlamBall will soon have a home on CBS and VERSUS, reports Variety. The first-ever team action sport that combines parts of basketball, football, hockey, soccer and gymnastics and owned by IMG Sports Media and Tollin Productions, will have its championship title game air on CBS November 2. In addition, VERSUS will air eight SlamBall games on Sundays beginning August 31. The SlamBall league is expected to launch in 2009 over the July 4 weekend in eight U.S. cities.

November 25 will be the final episode date for FX’s The Shield, per Variety. The seventh and final season kicks off September 2.

ION Media Networks, Inc. made a non-exclusive deal with CBS Television Distribution for the broadcast syndication rights to the first four seasons of NCIS. Starting September 8, the drama will air on ION Television Mondays and Tuesdays in the 9p time slot.

Fox Reality Channel signed with Target Entertainment to be its distribution partner for the reality competition series Gimme My Reality Show! which opens October 11. Target Entertainment will license the show’s format and completed episodes worldwide.

For the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, Fox News Channel will set up a field base calling it “The Fox Experience.” From this temporary center, Fox News will broadcast many of its programs live starting with the daily Fox & Friends at 6-9a on through to On the Record with Greta Van Susteren at 11p-1a. In addition, Fox Business Network, Fox News Radio and the FOX’s online and mobile coverage as well as Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace will all originate from both convention cities.

A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM THE CYNOPSIS FOUNDATION, INC.

Warren Sapp, former NFL star will join Inside the NFL on Showtime as an analyst along with host James Brown and other analysts Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth. Inside the NFL, produced by CBS and NFL Films, begins on Showtime September 10 following 31 seasons on HBO.

MGM Domestic Television Distribution optioned the online digital graphic novel The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore from Factory Publishing for a potential TV series. The storyline involves Jonas, a character created by the founder of a global game network, who is pegged by the network as a virus and is forced to go on the run. MGM is looking at all distribution outlets for the project including broadcast, cable, syndication and international.

ABC gave the go-ahead for a Supernanny spinoff featuring Chicago child therapist Mike Ruggles, reports THR. The project titled Supermanny will air as a back-door pilot special this fall in the new Supernanny time slot of Fridays at 9p. Ricochet Television, which produces the original Supernanny, is also involved with production on this project.

Fresh from starring in a Lifetime original movie, Valerie Bertinelli signed an agreement to do an as-yet unnamed TBS sitcom pilot, according to Variety. The project, about a woman raising two kids on her own and running a lumber business after her husband walks out, will be produced by Sony Pictures Television and is written and executive produced by Dave Caplan.

CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  Flying in the face of conventional wisdom that online video should be short, CBSSports.com unveiled a new weekly Fantasy Football show to premiere Sept. 7 that will run a full 90-minutes in length, streaming live every Sunday morning of football season from 11-12:30 pm ET. The show will utilize segments from the cast of CBS’ NFL Today filtered for value to fantasy team owners, along with input from CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Senior Writers Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard. Going head to head against the 4 established Sunday morning football preview shows (on CBS, FOX, ESPN and NFL Network,) Fantasy Football Today will have its work cut out. Then again, none of the shows cater exclusively to fantasy football fans. The show will also benefit from wide distribution across the CBS Audience Network, including YouTube, AOL, MSN, Veoh, TV.com, Bebo, Joost and Fancast. Full edition: CYN DIGITAL.

CYNOPSIS KIDS – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  Sorpresa, the US Spanish-language kid’s network, is set to launch the popular live-action Chilean tween/teen-targeted telenovelas series, Karku, on August 25 at 9p, as part of the network’s back-to-school programming. Set in Santiago, Chile, the series follows Emilia (13) and her five friends as they go to school and face the mileposts of growing up (e.g. school work, earning money, friendship).  New episodes of Karku will debut on Sorpresa every Monday through Thursday at 9p. Full edition: CYN KIDS.

CYNOPSIS INTERNATIONAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  India’s Reliance ADA Group has launched Reliance BIG TV Ltd, its new direct-to-home satellite TV operation with 202 networks on its MPEG4 platform.  The figure includes 50 SVOD channels and 30 exclusive film networks.  The company is also planning to bring in IPTV services in the country by the end of 2008. Full edition: CYN INTERNATIONAL.
