ABC Commits More Murder as NBC's Bee Gets Stung | Today's News: Our Take | 11/1/2007
ABC has ordered three more scripts for Women's Murder Club, and not a moment too soon, given that a writers' strike could start as early as tomorrow.

That's gotta sting: NBC has pulled The Singing Bee from its November-sweeps lineup and replaced it on Tuesday nights with supersized episodes of The Biggest Loser. — Ben Katner read more

Ask Matt | 8/6/2007
I was surprised to hear that after one good showing of The Singing Bee, NBC would give it a fall spot. This comes from the new president of NBC, who was supposed to be hired to get the network out of last place. The ratings keep going down each week. Why wouldn't NBC wait until the end of the summer tryout to make a decision about the fall? It seems pretty premature and makes NBC look pretty foolish, especially if they go ahead and cancel it after the first few shows in the fall. With this kind... read more
Fox: Follow the Bouncing Bones | Roush Dispatch | 8/3/2007
In recent years the Fox network has ended each season on such a high (thanks to hot franchises like American Idol, 24 and House) that we almost forget how badly Fox struggles to get traction in the fall.Perhaps sensing another fall disaster in the making, with two dark new dramas threatening to drag down its Monday and Tuesday lineups, Fox has rejiggered its fall lineup by postponing the murky New Amsterdam (about an immortal detective), originally intended for Tuesdays at 8 pm/ET, until... read more
Monday's Singing Bee for Ladies Only | Today's News: Our Take | 8/2/2007
Monday's episode of NBC's The Singing Bee, titled "Girl Power," will pay lip service to, as host Joey Fatone puts it, "girl groups, girl singers and… my favorite subject — girls." Why, oh why do I just know that despite the evening's theme, the show still isn't going to pay its due respect to the one and only Martika? Anyway, all the buzz about Bee seems to be paying off. It retained much of the audience from its America's Got Talent lead-in on Tuesday — Talent drew 10.7 million... read more

NBC at TCA: Meet the New Guy | Roush Dispatch | 7/16/2007
He dropped names as diverse as Norman Lear, Uri Geller, Isaiah Washington and Jerry Seinfeld.
