  • CBS Press Tour The net tries for "daring and different" with Kid Nation, Viva Laughlin and Swingtown | Stephen Battaglio | 7/19/2007
    When the promos for CBS' new fall reality show Kid Nation come on, you can't look away. Forty kids. No adult supervision. Watch how they build their own civilization in a ghost town in New Mexico. You immediately want to know: Which one is going to be Piggy from Lord of the Flies? But when pressed by reporters at the Television Critics Association — stirred by a report in Television Week that the kids were performing on camera for 14 hours a day, making their own meals and missing school... read more

    When the promos for CBS’ new fall reality show Kid Nation come on, you can’t look away. Forty kids. No adult supervision. Watch how they build their own civilization in a ghost town in New Mexico. You immediately want to know: Which one is going to be Piggy from Lord of the Flies?

  • Kids, Vampires, Musical Drama: Is CBS "Nuts"? | Matt Roush | 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
  • Critic's Notebook: Shield finale, Jericho Revival | Matt Roush | 6/6/2007
    In all of the hubbub being made over anticipating Sunday’s final episode ever of The Sopranos, it seems unfair to let The Shield end its penultimate season without some fanfare.As I noted when both shows returned within a week of each other in April, these dark dramas are among TV’s best. As their seasons unfolded, they lived up to my expectations. Quoting myself at the time: “The Shield is first-rate pulp fiction, blisteringly intense as it grabs you by the throat. The Sopranos... read more
  • Now that Eric Winter's CBS ... | Today's News: Our Take | 5/23/2007
    Question: Now that Eric Winter's CBS pilot, Viva Laughlin, has been picked up, what does this mean for his role as Kevin's love interest, Jason, on Brothers & Sisters?Answer: Based on what I'm hearing about Viva, I have a hunch Eric will be back on B&S by November sweeps.

  • CBS: We've Got Ratings, Now We Want Buzz! | Today's News: Our Take | 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

  • Veronica Mars Update: "Nothing Definitive" | Today's News: Our Take | 5/16/2007
    Veronica Mars is still clinging to life.Despite reports this morning that the show has been canceled, Rob Thomas just assured me via e-mail that there's "nothing definitive." That jives with what I told you in Ask Ausiello: It's possible CW head Dawn Ostroff is delaying a final verdict on VM until after Thursday's upfront. One encouraging sign: Sources say Rob has passed on CBS' offer to come aboard its new musical mystery drama Viva Laughlin as an executive producer. (Rob declined to... read more
