Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:30:00 +0000

Oprah's cable network goes live in January 2011

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:37:47 +0000

The start of the new Oprah Era on television and the end of the old one will overlap by a few months. On the day that Oprah Winfrey formally announced the end of her daytime talk show, the cable network she's launching announced its own start date. OWN -- the Oprah Winfrey Network -- will debut in January 2011, eight months before Winfrey signs off from her talk show. "Oprah has been nourishing people through her television show for nearly 25 years, a legacy that has touched millions the world over," says Christina Norman, OWN's CEO. "She is the life force behind OWN and will be guiding the effort for this completely new 24-hour television experience premiering in January 2011." At the end of her show Friday, Winfrey told her audience that she would in fact make the 2010-11 season of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" its last. "These years with you, our viewers, have enriched my life beyond all measure, and you all have graciously invited me into your living rooms, into your kitchens and into your lives," ...

'Grey's Anatomy' webisodes belly up to the bar

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:33:23 +0000

"Grey's Anatomy" may be taking a break from television for the rest of 2009, but if you need a fix -- like, really badly -- you can turn to the web. The show debuted a spinoff web series, "Seattle Grace: On Call," after Thursday's episode. The six-episode series is set mostly at Joe's and features a documentary crew filming a project about the lives of residents. Joe the bartender (Steven Bailey) is the only long-time "Grey's" face who'll be a regular in "On Call." The rest of the webisodes focus on the Seattle Grace interns (Mark Saul, Molly Kidder, Joseph Williamson, Gloria Garayua and Brandon Scott) and two of the new docs from Mercy West (Nora Zehetner and Robert Baker). As these characters have so far ranged from underdeveloped to barely present on "Grey's Anatomy," "On Call's" first episode didn't hold a ton of interest for me. (Though I like Joe a lot; more Joe would be good.) But if you can't live without "Grey's" in some form for the next few weeks, this could be a way to tide ...

TV ratings: 'Mentalist,' 'CSI' lead CBS Thursday sweep

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:50:58 +0000

Fast National ratings for Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009 A slightly down night for ABC Thursday resulted in an across-the-board ratings win for CBS, which led primetime in both in viewers and demographic ratings. CBS was off a touch from the last couple weeks as well, but it still snagged the top spot with 14.35 million viewers and an 8.8 rating/14 share in households. ABC (10.3 million, 6.8/11) finished second. FOX (7.9 million, 5.0/8) came in third, a good distance ahead of fourth-place NBC (5.4 million, 3.5/6). The CW averaged 3.2 million viewers and a 2.1/3 -- though that may change some since its Miami affiliate aired an NFL game instead of the regular lineup. In the adults 18-49 demo, CBS' 3.7 rating topped ABC's 3.5 for the lead. FOX and NBC tied for third at 2.3, and The CW came in at 1.5. Thursday hour by hour: 8 p.m. CBS: "Survivor: Samoa" (12.3 million viewers, 7.3/11 households) FOX: "Bones" (9.8 million, 6.2/10) ABC: "FlashForward" (8 million, 5.2/8) NBC: "Community" (5.1 million, ...

Leighton Meester Parties With Cyndi Lauper At mtvU Woodie Awards

'She's damn sexy,' 'Gossip Girl' star says of the '80s icon. By James Montgomery Leighton Meester and Cyndi Lauper present the Woodie of the Year Photo: MTV Things were pretty raucous at the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards , what with the keg stands and all, which is pretty much the only way to explain this pairing. At the tail end of the show, which airs on December 4 at 10 p.m., "Gossip Girl" star (and budding pop princess ) Leighton Meester and music legend Cyndi Lauper joined forces on the Woodies' stage, to present the night's final award (for Woodie of the Year). And, no, Leighton couldn't believe it was happening either. "I can't believe I'm standing here with Cyndi Lauper!" she shouted, as the crowd whooped in appreciation. "She's damn sexy. Sorry, it's true." But it wasn't just attraction that brought the two together. As she embarks on her solo career — she's working with the likes of Robin Thicke and Lil Wayne — Meester would do well to take ...

'Trauma' still has a pulse; NBC orders more episodes

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:23:26 +0000

Reports of the death of NBC's "Trauma" are, if not greatly exaggerated, at least a little premature. The network has reversed its earlier position on the show -- an NBC rep said late last month that the show would be done after its initial 13-episode order -- and decided to keep the paramedic drama on the air a little longer. The network has asked for three more episodes of the show, according to The Hollywood Reporter and others. Ratings for the pricy show -- which is heavy on location shooting and big set pieces -- have been nothing to crow about. The show draws a shade under 6.5 million viewers a week (DVR viewing included) and a 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic. (The numbers have, at least, been pretty consistent.) "Trauma" will have aired 10 episodes by the end of 2009, which will leave six (three from the original order and the three new ones) for later in the season. There's a pretty good chance the show will stay on Monday nights, but it likely wouldn't return until spring since ...
