“American Dad” Renewed for Fifth Season November 2, 2008 2:42 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in American Dad, Fox, News, Renewals, Television.1 comment so far
While Fox opted not to renew its long-running animated series King of the Hill (related article here), the network has decided to give a greenlight for a fifth season of American Dad. Executive producers Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman have also signed new overall deals with 20th Century Fox TV:
“It was one of our goals going into the summer to make sure their services were secured,” said 20th Century Fox TV chairman Dana Walden. “The show has evolved creatively under their leadership. And when you find a tentpole player like Seth, one of the critical elements in supporting their companies is locking up the services of the people they depend on, they trust.”
Production on the currently running fourth season of American Dad is coming to a close, just as the writing team is starting to break stories for the show’s fifth season.

McCain and Obama to Appear on Monday Night Football October 30, 2008 9:21 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in ESPN, Monday Night Football, News, Television.2 comments
On the eve of the election–Monday, November 3–the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates will appear on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Both will be interviewed, separately on tape, by half-time anchor Chris Berman. The expected time is 10:15 pm ET, but depending in the flow of the game, it could be closer to 10:30.
The game, between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins, actually has some historical signficance. With the exception of one election (2004) over the past 15, when the Redskins win their last home game before the election (this Monday night), the incumbent party remains in power.

David Tennent Leaving Doctor Who After 2009 Specials October 29, 2008 8:58 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in BBC, Doctor Who, News, Sci Fi, Television.1 comment so far
The rumors about whether or not David Tennent will be leaving Doctor Who can now cease. BBC has confirmed that the actor will indeed be leaving the series at the end of the 2009 specials.
Tennant made the announcement after winning the outstanding drama performance prize at the National Television Awards.
“When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won’t be with me,” he said.
“Now don’t make me cry,” he added. “I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don’t take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you’ll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair.”‘I’ll miss it’
In an exclusive interview with BBC,Tennant said that three years was “about the right time” to play the role.
“I think it’s better to go when there’s a chance that people might miss you, rather than to hang around and outstay your welcome,” he said.
Russel T. Davies, the show’s executive producer who will be stepping down as showrunner when the fifth season returns in 2010, said the following about Tennant stepping down:
“I’ve been lucky and honoured to work with David over the past few years – and it’s not over yet, the Tenth Doctor still has five spectacular hours left!
“After which, I might drop an anvil on his head. Or maybe a piano. A radioactive piano. But we’re planning the most enormous and spectacular ending, so keep watching.”
Steven Moffat takes over as showrunner for the fifth season in 2010. BBC has not announced who will replace Tennant, but rumors are swirling around the net that has Paterson Joseph as a possible replacement. Others rumored include David Morrisey, James Nesbitt and John Simm.

The CW Exploring New Version of Melrose Place October 29, 2008 7:40 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in News, Television, The CW.add a comment
I guess bringing back 90210 wasn’t enough. The CW and CBS Paramount Network Television are “exploring” the possibility of creating a new version of the successful 1990’s 90210 spinoff Melrose Place. The CBS Paramoutn spokeswoman was quick, however, to stress that talks about reviving the series are still in the early stages, with no writers or showrunners attached.
The CW’s 90210 has been a mild success for the network, becoming the first new fall show of the season to be given a full season.
