Exiled on… the Tube Highlights 11/5-11/11
What happened on TV this week….
Well the word from Michael Ausiello is that ‘Dollhouse is axed“… And word elsewhere says Fringe may not be too far behind
also Ausiello is reporting a Smallville movie event… Actually it just sounds like they are just gonna air two related episodes back to back, the bonus is its the SOCIETY and LEGENDS episodes penned by comic book scribe Geoff Johns.
V, ABC’s alien invasion remake ratings were of 29% from their 14million premiere, but as the press release says V still beat Fox and NBC
BBC America announced it will air Doctor Who, the Waters of Mars, the 2nd of the 4 2009 Doctor Who specials on Saturday December 19th. (It airs this weekend on th BBC in the UK)… on a side note, I was geeked to see BBC America advertising Doctor Who on Saturdays this December in major comic books released this week.
Chicago Tribune TV critic Maureen Ryan slammed Stargate:Universe – the dark, moody (and in my opinion better than SG:Atlantis. ) in her positive review of V.
In slightly older, but Chuck-tastic news, NBC has already order an additional 6 episodes for season 3, (bringing the total to 19 so far for 2010) Also it is rumored that NBC will move up the series return to TV to January (instead of March)
Chuck is also pretty famous for it’s use of Geek friendly guest star casting, and this season certainly aims to keep the tradition alive, as both Superman (Brandon Routh, from Superman Returns) and Lana Lang (Kristen Kruek of Smallville fame) have signed on for multiple episodes. A Batman also pops in (Diedrich Bader, from Cartoon Network’s Batman, the Brave and the Bold, and the Drew Carey show). Also an X-Man (Vinnie Jones, the Juggernaut from X-Men: The Last Stand) and a Terminator, (Robert Patrick also of X-Files fame) will be visiting the Buy More.
