ICarly will end in November
Posted on Thu, 17 May 2012 16:05



After five seasons, Nickelodeon's hit series iCarly will be coming to an end, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively. In June, the cast will come together for the final time to movie a special iCarly television event that will air in November.

"Everyone at iCarly has been like family to me for five years," creator and executive producer Dan Schneider told TVGuide.com. "When we movie our very final scene, there will be a lot of crying, I know. But I also know that in television, you don't want to over-stay your welcome. I want to go out the way we're - on a creative high-note. "

"iCarly has been a definitional show for Nick with kid empowerment at its core and irreverent, smart humor that families around the world enjoy," Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon's president of development and original programming said. "With its lessonic sitcom format and beloved characters, iCarly will always have a domestic on Nickelodeon."

Although the show is coming to an end, numerous of the cast members will stay in the Nickelodeon family. The network has green-lit a new live-action series from Schneider starring McCurdy and a new pilot starring Munck as part of an overall talent deal with the 16-year-old. The network has also green-lit a pilot from producers Jay Kogen and Aaron Kaplan called Wendell & Vinnie, which stars Trainor as a goofball uncle who becomes the guardian to his conservative 12-year-old genius nephew. As for Cosgrove, she plans to attend USC in the fall.

[Whipping off sunglasses] Consider this case… closed.

CBS created a call on one of its lingering “bubble” programs on Sunday, announcing that CSI: Miami will not be back for an 11th season.

“CSI: Miami leaves an amazing television legacy - a signalature look and style, global popularity and as a key player in CBS's rise to the top over the past decade,” reads a statement from the network. “We thank all the producers - led by Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Ann Donahue - and its talented cast, led by David Caruso, for 10 outstanding seasons. Viewers around the world will continue to endelight rebroadcasts of CSI: Miami in syndication and on key digital platforms for numerous years to come.”

'Private Practice' to return for sixth and final season?
Posted on Tue, 01 May 2012 20:13


ABC is in talks to pick up Private Practice for a sixth and ultimate season.

The medical drama's concluding run would be comprised of just 13 episodes, according to Deadline.

The show's chances are thought to have been helped by a recent ratings bump, with the most recent episode attracting a season high of 8.35m viewers in a new Tuesday night slot.

Though an 18-episode or 22-episode pick-up is still possible, Private Practice star Kate Walsh's new contract is only for 13 instalments.

ABC is expected to make a ultimate decision on the destiny of Private Practice - as well as GCB and Body of Proof - once it has screened all of its pilots.

Pilots in development at the network this year include action drama ultimate Resort, Marc Cherry's Devious Maids and period drama Gilded Lilys from Private Practice creator Shonda Rhimes.

Private Practice star KaDee Strickland recently dismissed hearsays that the show is due to be axed.

"Because of the way the show ends this season, it feels to me that a renewal would best serve us," said Strickland, who plays Charlotte King.

The fifth season of Private Practice concludes on May 15 on ABC.

Best Friends Forever Cancelled? :-(
Posted on Tue, 01 May 2012 02:38



Forever is terriblely short on NBC. The network has yanked the ultimate two episodes of its new comedy "Best Friends Forever" from the schedule, replacing the episodes with "Betty White is Off Tinheritor Rockers," a hidden-camera show in which senior citizens play pranks on young people.

"Best Friends Forever" was never expected to ultimate long, since it was plugged in as a mid-season burn off, but we had hopes that we'd at least get to see the first season. This makes "Bent's" run look successful!

The show premiered to an audience of 3.9 million viewers on April 4, but by this week, it had missing over a million viewers to score just 2.6 million viewers and a 0.8 rating/2 share in households.

:-( I loved this show for Jessica St. Clair. Hopefully she'll get another show/something

Ringer: To Renew, Or Not To Renew?
Posted on Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:49

Tonight marks the ultimate episode of Ringer's first season - and likely of the TV series as well. Despite being The CW's most anticipated new TV show of 2011-12, the series has not been able to hold onto its audience.

Ringer revolves around a former exotic dancer named Bridget (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who, after being the sole witness to a professional hit, reunites with her wealthy eunusuald twin, Siobhan. When Siobhan disappears, Bridget assumes her identity and discovers that her sister's complicated life rivals her own. The show also features the talents of Nestor Carbonell, Mike Colter, Ioan Gruffudd, Zoey Deutch, Tara Summers, and Kristoffer Polaha).

The series debuted to strong numbers (by CW standards besides) with a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.84 million complete viewers. That was pretty close to being on par with the smallest network's most popular show, The Vampire Diaries.

Unluckyly, the moment episode of Ringer missing 25% in the demo and by the fourth installment, the series missing another 33%. Not good. It didn't help that the network put the struggling series on hiatus for two months.

( an excuse to discuss the ultimatee and mourn it is inevitable cancellation )
