Fall TV Press Tour: 24, Fringe, Truth Talk & More | Today's News: Our Take | 7/14/2008
Matt and Mickey here at the TCA press tour. Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly has taken the stage to field questions. • First discussing Fringe, Reilly says that Fox was hot to work with J.J. Abrams, and thus offered him a series "on Day 1." Pegging Fringe as "X-Files meets Indiana Jones," Reilly says, "Sometimes with these big show runners, it's all hype and no delivery.... This one is going to bring the goods."• Reilly reiterates that which has been said before and by others: "24 is going to come back rocking and rolling" after suffering hard from a full season's postponement. "It was a good opportunity for [exec producer] Howard [Gordon], who is such a perfectionist," he explains. "He was really wanting this next season to be great, and it was unfortunate that he got interrupted [by the WGA strike]." Reilly adds that the "prequel" movie airing Nov. 23 "is a cool piece of business."• Explaining the decision to get in bed with Ozzy Osbourne and family, Reilly... read more
Fear Itself: A Gruesome Reality Break | Roush Review | 6/18/2008
Want to see a critic cringe in fear? Force me to watch Dina Lohan?s narcissistic celebreality atrocity, or another hour of Mark L. Walberg presiding ghoulishly over the Moment of Truth?s hot seat. By comparison, ravenous vampires, sadistic ghosts and spectral serial killers are almost welcome and charming company. Not that charm has anything to do with the grisly stories told on Fear Itself, a horror anthology that should represent a welcome break from network TV?s summer reality obsession. ... read more
Moment of Truth Host: Home-wrecker Rap Is "Crap" | Today's News: Our Take | 5/22/2008
While conceding that Moment of Truth isn't "doing God's work," host Mark Walberg refuses to let the Fox series absorb undeserved blame. "Quite honestly, the 'wrecking-your-family,' evildoing rap we get, I think it's crap," Walberg said in a conference call promoting Truth's May 27 return. "No family gets wrecked unless they're wrecking it anyway." To make his case, Walberg notes that only one married couple from the show has since split — and they were on the skids to begin with.Walberg says Season 2 will branch out to include more questions outside the realm of infidelity and illicit sex. Example: "Did you really vote for Archuleta?" What's your take? Do the Truth-tellers know what they're getting into and thus should be prepared for any fallout? — MWM read more
Ask Matt | 3/28/2008
Q: Your most recent column included a complaint about Moment of Truth and its immoral premise. While I agree with the reader, I put more culpability on the competitors. If readers really want to get mad about the show, they should be angry at the complete fraud the show perpetuates. The questions are asked in advance, not at the time of the show. I hate the fake waiting time as the contestant waits to answer, but the really dumb part is that the contestants already know the questions that are .. read more
Sitting on The Moment of Truth's Hot Seat | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 3/26/2008
Think Fox's controversial quiz show The Moment of Truth (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET) is nothing but hype? TV Guide's own Joe Rhodes strapped himself in for a revealing polygraph test to find out. Here, he gives us his first-person account. I'm not really nervous until the rubber tubes are strapped across my chest, the cuff is fastened to my left arm, and the metal plates are attached to the first and third fingers of my right hand. Until that moment, I assume, as most people do, that getting ... read more
