TV Guide Names the Top Cult Shows Ever

Three years ago, TV Guide dared to compile a list of the Top 25 Cult Shows Ever, a veritable who's who of programs that got people talking — and in many cases still had them talking long after the final episode aired. The litmus tests were many. These are the types of shows that make normal folk Romulan-fluent, series that inspire what can only be called worship. The faithful collect everything from action figures (and perhaps way too many of them) to yellowing scripts obtained by any means necessary. They attend conventions in fangs or blue skin or with Hurley's numbers tattooed in disturbing places.

Spurred on by the successful campaign to get Jericho plucked from the postapocalyptic ashes and returned to CBS' 2007-08 slate, TV Guide revisited that years-old countdown, asking ourselves such tough questions as: Is Lost too   read full article

In the Works: SNL Alum Chris Kattan Is a Hero

IFC is developing for 2008 Bollywood Hero, an eight-episode, half-hour comedy series starring Chris Kattan as a version of himself.... MTV is developing a pair of scripted series: Darius, about the dark and secret life of a seemingly "all-American" teen, and Cheerleader Camp, a horror series pegged as "Heathers meets Scream".... Spike TV is retooling its original-series strategy to target comedy as much as drama, says Variety.
