Do you have any information ...

Question: Do you have any information on Life Is Wild? I read on another website that it got canceled. Answer: I'm hearing the cast has been informed that it's over. The CW, however, insists that no decision has been made. I'll do my best to get to the bottom of this and get you some kind of firm answer…. Oh, who am I kidding. This is Life Is Wild we're talking about. I've already spent too much time on this subject. OK, that's a wrap! As I casually mentioned at the top of the column, AA is going to be on hiatus until Jan. 7 on account of the holidays. But never fear, I'm not disappearing from your lives completely. Over the next few weeks I'll continue to update my Ausiello Report blog with breaking news and other assorted ra

New Bionic Woman Deemed Family-friendly

The new NBC series Bionic Woman and Chuck, as well as the CW's Life Is Wild, have earned a thumbs-up from the Family Friendly Programming Forum, whose mission is to promote the development of programming appropriate in theme, content and language for adults and children. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this fall marks the first time the FFPF has an approved program airing each night of the week (meaning minus Saturday, which literally nobody seems to care about), with the new options joining the ranks of Ugly Betty, Brothers & Sisters, Notes from the Underbelly, Friday Night Lights and Everybody Hates Chris. But Bionic Woman, really? Methinks someone at the FFPF actually fancies two hot gals duking it out in a nighttime downpour.

The CW Tries Out a Brand New Personality

A year ago, the former stars of the WB and UPN found themselves uncomfortably mingling on one stage for the first upfront of the new CW network. They looked like the kids at the wedding of two single parents.This year, the CW took a step toward developing its own personality, shedding the aging Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars (the longest-running unsuccessful show in prime time) and All of Us (the weakest link in its lineup of urban sitcoms). The network is even taking the teen out of teen-angst drama One Tree Hill. When that show returns in mid-season, the characters will have been fast-forwarded to their lives after college.The network is replacing All of Us with Aliens In America, a comedy about a Muslim exchange student coming to live in Wisconsin. It looks funny and a little provocative. Who would have thought the CW would have the first sitcom to deal with post-9/11 attitudes?Tuesday at 9 pm brings Reaper, about a slacker whose parents sold his soul to the Devil, played with a br...
