Ask Ausiello | 4/23/2008
Q: Can you tell me whether The Unit, Shark and/or Cane will be back? A: I could, but then I'd be missing an opportunity to funnel some traffic to my handy "Bubble Show Status" chart, which can be accessed by clicking here. read more

Ask Matt | 11/19/2007
So if the strike continues too long, which shows will be screwed the most? Will they cancel 30 Rock, saying it never built an audience? What about some of the new shows this season? Will networks use the strike as an excuse to cancel "bubble" shows like Cane and Life? Basically what I'm asking is: If the strike goes on too long, will the networks just call this season a wash and start over in the fall? read more
Striking Writers' Hit The Office and Others Hard | Today's News: Our Take | 11/6/2007
Get your scorecards handy, because this is only the beginning of the strike-related fallout you'll wanna keep track of: • Although a location manager for CBS' Cane hired two security guards to help out while the show shot scenes from a long-completed script at a Hollywood cafe, 20 angry writers who were yelling and using a bullhorn brought the production to a halt anyway. • ABC has postponed the debut of its Sex and the City rip-off, Cashmere Mafia to sometime after Jan. 1. The Nov.... read more
Ask Matt | 11/5/2007
I've been hearing nothing but great things about Dirty Sexy Money, from critics and TV enthusiasts alike. People are in love with the Darling family. But I've watched several episodes and think this show is getting too much credit. These characters are drab and completely one-dimensional, and are given tired and simply uninteresting storylines. I do not understand what the hype is all about. The Darlings are boring, unauthentic and divisively colored. Then there's this show I've heard almost no... read more
Ask Matt | 10/19/2007
Before I begin what will seem like a tirade, I want to let you know that I have respected and enjoyed your column for many years. Unlike what I've heard from a lot of critics (including you), I have been extremely pleased with the new fall season. Chuck, Bionic Woman, Dirty Sexy Money, Moonlight and Gossip Girl I loved right off the bat. Cane, Private Practice and Reaper have improved and I now love them as well. Life had a mind-blowingly good pilot but wasn't as sharp in its second outing. And... read more

CBS Is Sweet on Cane; CW Embraces Aliens | Today's News: Our Take | 10/11/2007
Just as NBC has shown some love to four of its new series, CBS has ordered four more scripts for Cane, even though the Jimmy Smits serial (like the Peacock's Life and Journeyman) has had trouble mustering an eye-opening audience.Meanwhile, the CW — which was the first network to give a full-season order to a new show (Gossip Girl) — has ordered three more scripts for Aliens in America. Thank Allah! read more
Ask Matt | 10/8/2007
Can you explain to me why Cane is getting such mixed reviews from critics and fans alike? I'm a bit biased since I live in south Florida (it's a big hit down here, as you can imagine) and I'm Cuban myself. The show's authenticity should not be questioned. It is spot-on in every aspect, from the music to the family to the south Floridian accents. But beyond that, it has a lot of substance. The characters are interesting, as is the family dynamic. I was equally interested in both the business ... read more

Ratings: Prancing Stars, Cranky House Are Tops | Today's News: Our Take | 9/26/2007
ADDENDUM: Veronica Mars drew 3.3 mil in each of its last two season premieres, since many were asking.On this first "real" Tuesday of the new ratings season, as Dancing with the Stars' all-male revue averaged 18.34 million total viewers over its 90-minute run:8 pm/ETNCIS' shinier, happier backstage mood paid off on-screen, as it (13.65 mil) outperformed last year's premiere by 530 thou. Bones (8.25 mil) was down 16 percent versus its own previous opener. With three mil, Beauty and the Geek... read more
The New Season: Busy Enough for You? | Roush Dispatch | 9/25/2007
Already playing catch-up on only the second day of the official TV season. Geez, how will we ever survive Wednesdays and Thursdays? (Pause here for a silent prayer to the powers that protect my DVRs.)Anyway, the biggest news on Monday was how Heroes would bounce back from a first-season finale that disappointed many (I was not among them, but then, my expectations for this uneven show haven’t always been all that high). I was mostly enthralled, once I got over yet another tedious Mohinder... read more
Jericho, Boondocks and More Short Cuts | Today's News: Our Take | 9/24/2007
Jericho: The First Season arrives on DVD Oct. 2 in a six-disc, 22-episode set. My copy came packed with (real, not styrofoam) peanuts; yours, probably not....

Jimmy Smits' Cane: CBS Invites You to Take a Lick | Today's News: Our Take | 9/5/2007
CBS has created for its freshman series Cane a "first-of-its-kind" print ad that tastes like a nonalcoholic lime mojito. The ad, appearing in the issue of Rolling Stone on newsstands Sept. 7, promotes the fictional Duque Rum brand featured in the family-centered drama by way of a tamper-proof packet containing a lime-mojito-flavored dissolving taste strip.The two-page ad also directs readers to LuciaDuqueRum.com, a website created for the series and where details can be found on the search for... read more
Ask Matt | 8/20/2007
Why did NBC move The Office so it now conflicts with Grey's Anatomy? I guess putting Scrubs after it might give that show the break it deserves. And now they put Cane opposite Boston Legal. I don't have TiVo, so I guess I have to dust off my VHS. Do they really want to weed out good (old) shows or jeopardize new ones? On another topic, what happened to Shark? read more
Kids, Vampires, Musical Drama: Is CBS "Nuts"? | Roush Dispatch | 7/18/2007
Frankly, I was surprised and a bit dismayed that CBS didn’t have symbolic bowls of nuts in the room as the network launched its portion of the TCA press tour Wednesday morning. Which didn’t stop Jericho from dominating much of the conversation when CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler took the stage to introduce one of the more ambitious and controversial new lineups in CBS’ recent history.Tassler said she couldn’t go to a neighborhood camera store, or even a... read more
CBS Season Kicks Off with Controversial Kid Nation | Today's News: Our Take | 7/18/2007
CBS' premiere-rollout plan is as follows, starting off with the reality series Kid Nation (which reportedly skirted child-labor laws by classifying the production as a "summer camp" and taking advantage of a loophole in New Mexico labor rules that has since been closed. Hey, at least these "campers" were able to dodge Paris and Nicole.) For scads of CBS press-tour goss — including the current spin on Criminal Minds/Mandy Patinkin — see the Ausiello Report.Wednesday, Sept. 198 pm/ET:... read more
CBS: We've Got Ratings, Now We Want Buzz! | First Look: Hottest Fall TV | 5/17/2007
It isn't enough for CBS to be the most-watched network. At the presentation of its new fall schedule, network execs announced they want their shows to be talked about, too.It's a new version of an old tune. For years, CBS has had the largest number of viewers, but many of them were old and not as desirable to advertisers. Recently, the network has gotten much more competitive for the 18-to-49-year-old crowd that Madison Avenue pays most for. Yet shows such as ABC's Ugly Betty get a lot more ink... read more

CBS announced today its 2007-2008 Fall Prime-time lineup, featuring five new series: one comedy, three dramas and one reality program. These freshman series will join the 17 returning programs on the current CBS lineup, which helped the network win the 2006-2007 season in viewers and adults 25-54, continuing its multi-year winning streak.
