Steve Carell has now been elevated to ‘legend’ status. The excellent United Hollywood site reports that he has phoned in sick and is unable to work. The cause? Enlarged balls.
The show shut-down list continues to grow. All late night talk shows went dark immediately, and as of yesterday you can add Desperate Housewives and The Office to that list. Grey’s Anatomy looks to be the next to halt production. Basically, the 2007-8 season appears to be a wash. And while it sucks that original programming is about to be replaced by the new American Gladiators, I am now and will remain firmly in the writers’ camp. Damn the man! Save the empire!
There’s something for everyone on Monday night. How I Met Your Mother still makes me laugh every week, which is something I never thought I’d say for a CBS comedy. CBS, 8:30
Chuck also still makes me laugh. So does Heroes, which follows it, though I’m pretty sure Chuck is the only one that’s intentionally funny. NBC, 8:00 and 9:00
For cheesy goodness, Gossip Girl’s second season has more than lived up to the promise of the first one. Chuck may be the greatest soap villain since Amanda Woodward first flexed her claws. CW, 8:00
