For Sarah Shahi, Life Is Beautiful | Today's News: Our Take | 10/6/2008
Sarah Shahi's got a cool cop show, a hot new look — and she's getting married. What's not to love? We talked to the Life (Oct. 6 at 10 pm/ET, NBC and then Fridays at 10 pm) star about what's ahead for Dani this season, her stint on The L Word and growing up in Texas with a name like Aahoo. TV Guide: Your character on Life, cop Dani Reese, is looking pretty hot this season. Did she get a makeover? Sarah Shahi: My hair is down! You will never see that bun again. We wanted to make the show... read more be the first to leave a comment
Ratings: How Did Chuck's Hot Date Go? | Today's News: Our Take | 9/30/2008
Here's how Monday played out this week:8 pm/ETDancing with the Stars was the night's most-watched program, averaging 19.28 million total viewers (an eight percent dip) over its two-hour run.

Life begins its second season on NBC out of its new timeslot which is meant to be Fridays at 10p ETPT up against CBSs popular Numb3rs as it is its premiere is up against the even more popular CBS cop show CSI Miami And on Friday and next Monday and Friday three more new episodes will be offered theoretically to give the show more exposure than it might otherwise get though it feels like the network throwing it up against the wall to see what sticks or even trying to burn off the episodes as... read more be the first to leave a comment
Jeers: Life As We Don't Know It | Cheers & Jeers | 9/30/2008
Jeers to Life for casting Donal Logue as Sarah Shahi's new love interest. In what universe are we supposed to believe the greasy-haired, sweat-stained Jimmy the Cab Driver from MTV and Tony Soprano's peyote-fantasy stripper would hook up? It was unlikely enough when Logue wooed sexy Sofia Vergara on The Knights of Prosperity. At least it was unrequited - and a comedy. But why would the captivating Det. Reese fall for the cloddish, much-married Capt. Tidwell? To invoke another Logue comedy, the... read more 2 Comments
A Second Chance for Chuck and Life | Matt Roush | 9/29/2008
For some of us, this is the week when the TV season truly begins, with the welcome return of a handful of shows that were abruptly cut short in their freshman season by the writers' strike, but were (to the surprise of many) given a reprieve by their networks, which still sees potential in them. read more be the first to leave a comment
Mad Men's Christina Hendricks Comes Back to Life | Today's News: Our Take | 7/31/2008
Mad Men viewers know Christina Hendricks best as sexy and sassy office manager Joan, but the few of you who stuck with NBC's Life last season also know her as Olivia, the fiancée of Charlie's estranged father. Well, Life fans, I've learned that Olivia will be back in Season 2.While chatting with me about Sunday's episode of Mad Men, Hendricks said she would be shooting an episode for Life's sophomore season next week. "I don't know [what I'll be doing] — they haven't even sent me the... read more be the first to leave a comment

NBC Supersizes Heroes, Picks Up Chuck and Life | Today's News: Our Take | 2/14/2008
NBC has, yes, picked up Heroes for a third season. (No shocker there.) But the network has also ordered second, 13-episode seasons of both Chuck and Life, says the Reporter.Heroes, meanwhile, will air more than 22 episodes (the exact number is TBD) when it returns. None of the three shows will air new fare this spring.Speaking of TV's post-strike "spring awakening," check our Strike Watch blog for a roundup of NBC's plans for its Thursday-night lineup. read more be the first to leave a comment
I heard Life was one of the ... | Matt Roush | 1/11/2008
Question: I heard Life was one of the shows NBC picked up for 2008. Then I heard it wasn't. You seem to be the only one who knows what's going on! Has the show been picked up, and if so, will they be showing any new episodes in January? This is a great show and I'm really looking forward to watching more. Answer: We'd all like for life, and Life, to go on, but until the strike is resolved, no dice. The good news for Life is that NBC picked it up for a full season, but that was largely a... read more be the first to leave a comment
I hope you'll write something ... | Matt Roush | 12/14/2007
Question: I hope you'll write something about the brilliant concluding hour of Life, which aired as the second of the two final shows last week. As always, I was so impressed with the acting and with the parallel storylines of the conspiracy and the everyday cop drama. (It wasn't until after the show was over that I got the "snake in the grass" metaphor of the half-comedic story of finding the python, along with the story of finding Kyle Hollis.) I also found the episode somewhat... read more be the first to leave a comment
With new TV shows in short ... | Matt Roush | 12/7/2007
Question: With new TV shows in short supply because of the strike, why on earth is NBC burning two new episodes of Life this week? Answer: A good and fair question. I'm frankly surprised there are as many original episodes of shows airing this and even next week, when most people have much more more urgent things to do in December (mostly involving holiday preparations, at least in my life) than sitting around watching TV. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. But more... read more be the first to leave a comment
Ratings: Samantha Misses Dancing's Lift | Today's News: Our Take | 12/5/2007
8 pmWith ABC's Charlie Brown Christmas encore topping the hour (at 9.3 million total viewers), Chuck placed second with 8.36 mil, a 120K increase from last week's impressive outing. Everything else was repeats, with House (8.3 mil) nipping at Chuck's heels and delivering the best demos.9 pmWithout the Dancing stars to give her a lift, Samantha Who? is missing her certain something, this week dropping 40 percent to 7.52 mil. Similarly, Notes from the Underbelly (5.5 mil) shed 33 percent. Heroes'... read more be the first to leave a comment
Exclusive: NBC Extends Chuck, Life for Full Season! | Today's News: Our Take | 11/26/2007
It took 'em a while, but NBC is finally rewarding a few of its freshman series with back-nine orders — and methinks you guys will be very pleased with the first two recipients.Sources confirm to me exclusively that the Peacock has picked up Chuck and Life for the full season. That noise you hear is Jaime Sommers' artificial ego short-circuiting.What Chuck and Life have lacked in ratings might, they've more than made up for in buzz — a fact I'm reminded of every time I peer into my Ask... read more be the first to leave a comment
So if the strike continues ... | Matt Roush | 11/19/2007
Question: 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? Answer: I only wish I had a crystal ball to address these larger... read more be the first to leave a comment
I wrote you a few years ago ... | Matt Roush | 11/19/2007
Question: I wrote you a few years ago about Monk's second season, which was fairly awful, but the show has been incredible ever since. (I'm thinking my complaint made the difference). Now I'm writing because I'm a huge TV fan, and I know a good show when I see it — and Life is it. I DVR everything, and when I have the time, I start with the best shows and go from there. Life has become my first watch. For the other TV fans out there, some of my old faves are NYPD Blue, Boomtown, Third Watch and... read more be the first to leave a comment
Scheduling Notes: Bionic Woman Unplugged, Life Cut Short | Today's News: Our Take | 11/16/2007
Sci Fi is pulling the plug on its Bionic Woman repeats and USA is cutting short its run of Life encores after this week, according to the thefutoncritic.com.... But the news isn't all fatalistic for Life. NBC has scheduled the first of a two-part arc for Dec. 3 at 10 pm/ET, following Heroes' fall finale. (And if that doesn't breathe some life into the ratings.... ) Part 2 will air in the show's regular time slot, on Dec. 5....

A New Lease on Life | Matt Roush | 11/14/2007
I’m still not convinced that NBC’s Life is a great series, but tonight’s episode (Nov. 13) is the best I’ve seen to date of a show that has toned down some of the elements that irritated me when it premiered. Detective Charlie Crews (the charismatic Damian Lewis), who is still trying to unravel the circumstances of the unjust murder conviction that kept him behind bars for 12 years, remains something of an acquired taste. But he is indulging his quirks (spouting Zen... read more be the first to leave a comment
