V premieres with flying colors (and UFOs)

The series premiere of V captured the attention of 14 million viewers on Tuesday night.  Though CBS’s NCIS: LA debut drew in the largest audience with 18.7 million viewers, V wears the crown having the night’s highest adult 18-49 performance.  In fact, V had the highest rated 8:00pm drama debut on ABC since–you guessed it–Lost.

If you missed the spectacular premiere of V, watch it on Hulu (this Saturday) or download it in HD on iTunes.  In my opinion, the debut of V was one of the most exciting and well written narritives packed in a one-hour package I have in some time.

“V” production issues alter schedule

Productions problems have been all the rage for the remake of the 1980s classic mini-series V, set to debut on November 3.  After receiving positive reviews and much hype after the initial screening of the V  premiere episode at this year’s Comic Con, the execs decided to push the airing of the series premiere from a mid-season debut (January 2010) to the aforementioned November date.  This was good news for V fans; the wait for the premiere became closer in view.  Now, though, a bit of bad news has changed the show’s planned schedule.  V will only be airing four episodes before it goes on a long hiatus (presumably until March 2010) due to the Winter Olympics.  ABC execs have said that it was planned to have the fourth episode leave viewers with a massive cliffhanger, but such a long haitus was probably not part of such plan.

This news comes at a time when we recently learned about an extended production shutdown and word of a second shutdown coming into effect after the filming of the fourth episode.  With so many shutdowns and production issues I hope that V can hold itself up and retain its hype and positive reviews throughout the long break until March.  It all rests on the shoulders of the first four episodes.  With Lost‘s Elizabeth Mitchell leading the pack of an all-star cast and a recent trailer that sent chills of excitement down my spine I will continue to support V and I have a good feeling it will do just fine.  V premieres November 3 on ABC.

ABC’s V to arrive sooner than expected

The reimagining of the 1980’s classic mini-series “V” is coming to a TV near you much sooner than expected.  Instead of premiering as a mid-season show, “V” is set to start on November 3, 2009.  Cast members include Lost’s Elizabeth Mitchell and and Firefly’s Alan Tudyk.

Executive producer Scott Peters: “We’ve got [the story] all mapped out and pretty solid direction for everything. We certainly know where we’re going for the first season and second season and we have a really solid plan the whole way through.”  Producer Jeffrey Bell, “We know what the end is. We know where we’re going. Whether that’s three years, four years or beyond that, it’s gravy. There is a plan and we’ll stick to that.”  President of ABC Steve McPherson stated that V will run for four seasons, depending on the show’s success, of course.  Aliens are invading planet Earth.  Sci-fi fans rejoice, it’s going to one hell of a show.

Lost : The Final Season gains extra hours of life

Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello has reported via Twitter that “ABC confirms that Lost’s sixth and final season will total 18 hours, including two-hour premiere and two-hour finale.”  Originally, the final season was supposed to have 16 hours.  However, due to the writer’s strike shortening season four, two extra hours have been added to season 6.  Everyone rejoice!  Lost : The Final Season airs in January 2010.

Pushing Daisies

“Pushing Daisies” is the most vibrant, colorful, over-the-top spectacular, and emotionally interesting television series I have ever watched.  The visual design, quirkiness, fast-paced dialogue, and music of every episode leaves you laughing and filled with all things happy when the murder cases come to a steady close by the touch of the Pie-Maker’s finger.  The tension between Ned and Chuck not being able to touch brings you closer to the characters and creates such a unique connection between fictional people and real life.  If you haven’t seen it or heard of it, do yourself a favor and buy Seasons 1 & 2.  Note: Bryan Fuller, series creator, has stated that he is working with DC Comics to release a 12-issue comic series that will continue and finalize the Pushing Daisies story.  And don’t forget the “Pushing Daisies movie” rumor.

From the great words spoken by narrator Jim Dale: “At that moment, in the town of Couer d’ Couers, events occurred that are not, were not, and should never be considered an ending, for endings, as it is known, are where we begin.”  Pushing Daisies.

Ned the Pie Maker.  Chuck Charles the Dead Girl.  Emerson Cod the P.I..  Olive Snook the Itty Bitty.  Lily & Vivian Charles the aunts.  Digby the dog.  Narrator Jim Dale.  You will truly be missed. Continue reading Pushing Daisies

ABC Fall 2009 Promos

This first commercial is the most interesting.  Patrick Dempsey tells “Charlie” he is so dead.  Charlie responds by saying, “Actually, I was.”  Is Charlie coming back in some form?  Hm…

This one is funny.  “Jack” asks where the ladel is, and Teri Hatcher says, “It’s on the island.”  And then…”Who’s Kate?”  Ha!

Watch for the Lost references in these.  They’re fun.  Check after the break for two more promos. Continue reading ABC Fall 2009 Promos
