The writers for two shows I don’t watch are getting back to work! Lionsgate has reached an interim agreement with the WGA, meaning that writers for Mad Men and Weeds can get back to producing stellar copy while smoking fat joints. (Both are on the list of shows to catch up on, I swear.) [TV Guide]
Just as American TV is running out of fresh programming, the BBC is kindly showing several favorites. However, none of them, not even the next season of Doctor Who, have me as excited as Ashes to Ashes, the Life On Mars spin-off starting February 7. Sure, Sam Tyler is long gone, but if that means we get more Gene Hunt, I won’t be complaining. Any other fans get giddy just watching this teaser? I mean, after you stopped giggling at Ray’s perm.
Kristen Chenoweth uses the power of song to explain exactly why crystal meth is a bad thing. Some NSFW language.
Heroes returns September 22, and it looks awfully shiny and pretty. I’m looking forward to giving it another chance, even with Sylar still in play. Stupid Sylar.
Thursday’s Top Pick:
USA is running three repeat episodes of Burn Notice tonight, making this an excellent time for new viewers to discover the most fun show of the summer. USA, 8:00pm.

Oh yes. Giggles were followed by obsessive rewinding and rewatching. Even more so with the longer ad!

Oh yes, definitely. I want Ashes to Ashes now! Is it next Thursday yet?
