5 nights a week of Leno in Primetime? Oh boy. NBC must REALLY be hurting for original programming. Don’t get me wrong, I watch Jay occasionally, but 5 nights in a row? I think this is going to fail miserably for NBC. Then we’ll end up getting a string of reality shows crammed down our throats while they try to find a suitable show to replace the 10pm showing of Law & Order, ER, etc.

I really love Southland. I think that there is no way the series isn’t going to continue, unless there’s another strike of some kind. The Unusuals, on the other hand is missing the mark with me. It’s not quite funny enough or enthralling enough, but maybe I comparing it to Southland.

I love these Weekly TV Wrap Ups. Keep up the good work, guys. It’d be useful though if you had an image to identify it quickly on the home page.

“If this is anything like the way Stargate Atlantis started, we’ll see them in one quick scene, making it an official Stargate send off. ”

Untrue.

Richard Dean will appear in the 5th episode:

Good for SouthLAnd, Ryan–or the guy who plays Ryan from OC–is a really good actor.
Bruce, I wouldn’t say that SouthLAnd was compelling, because the gritty cop-drama is always a recipe for strong television but it did hold my interest.

You’ve taken a look at The Unsuals as well? From the previews I saw before it seemed more like a comedic twist on the whole cop-drama, I would say something like Arrested Development meets NYPD Blue. Then I catched last Wed’s episode, my first viewing, seems they are trying to balance ‘out-there’ comedy with serious drama. Not right there but I am willing to tag along cause it’s got two guys from Oz, so gotta support the homies. They have the formula but are not there yet, like to hear more of what you thought didn’t work?

Lastly, it is sad when American Idol beats the NCAA Championships. Ah, sign-of-the-times.

Was there a review for the movie Adventureland here in Screenrant? I just saw it yesterday in a doubleheader at a Drive-in along with Fast and Furious.

It’s a teen movie that takes place in the 80′s. I thought it was hillarious cause I could soo relate to it…LOL. It’s a comedy with some serious issues in it.

What did you guys think of it?

I’ve been enjoying Chuck. I think these last few eps leading up to the finale have been excellent.

I thought Southland was good. I’ll keep watching it even though it’s only got something like 7 episodes total and may not be back again because of Jay Leno.

24 is my favorite show on tv and I agree that it’s hard to say anything about the last episode without giving stuff away. I’ll just say I didn’t see it coming.

I’d like to see more of TSCC, but with the ending to the season finale. I was kind of confused.

I watched Harper’s Island after ya’ll had reported that it wasn’t going to be a reality show. It wasn’t too shaby. I was a little disappointed they got rid of the big name star so soon though. I thought for sure that character would at least get some from the blond hottie first lol.

I’m not surprised that Boston station reevaluated their position on Jay Leno’s show. It’s not worth losing their affiliation over. Although I still hope Leno’s show fails hard. I consider his average fan as one who he would find “Jaywalking” lol.

I’m glad they are bringing FNL’s back for another two seasons at least. It will be weird to see new cast members though. I hope they’re as good as the others were. I knew that rich guy was going to be trouble. They’ll regret their decision to go with a new coach soon enough I figure.

Ken J,
Christopher Judge did a guest spot on Stargate Atlantis
about a year ago.

About Stargate Universe… where’s Teal’c?? I read in a few places about Walter, O’Neill, Carter, Jackson, and all of those people showing up, but Christopher Judge’s Teal’c is never in any of those… WTF?? It won’t be the same without the big UM football player with the symbol on his forehead… Wait, was it UM? I forgot now, lol.

Looking at the ratings, they are still showing Flashpoint? I was excited to see the premier when it started, but after watching the first 5 or 6 episodes, I lost interest. It was way too much sympathizing with the bad guy, and that “new guy” character was too annoying to take seriously. If they would keep it more realistic where the bad guy was just some doped up coke head that tried to rob a store but cops showed up, or someone fleeing from a chase ran into an occupied house and took hostages. Every episode it’s some boohoo story of some crazy extenuating circumstance that you almost never see. They should keep those for the finale’s or maybe at certain points in the season while the majority of them are straight forward cops versus bad guy cases.

Bruce,

I don’t know why Fox axed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I should re-phase that. I do know why (because Fox is horrible) but I’m pissed. I’m surprised more people don’t watch it. The finale was one of the best finales I have seen of any show in a long time.
