NBC Delaying ‘Community’ and ’30 Rock’ Premieres HOW Long?
‘Community‘ fans are the first people to single out NBC for disregarding the show, by either never giving enough promotion, or changing its show-runner without so much of a phone call, and the newly-released official schedule for the fall is just icing on the cake.

Well, lets be honest. When was the last time you saw Jerry O’Connell, and didn’t feel like chasing him with pitchforks and fire? NBC’s reboot of ‘The Munsters,’ titled ‘Mockingbird Lane‘ has made another step (or lurch) closer to the real deal, as the family’s patriarch not has a face.

Who Will Play Hannibal Lecter In the New NBC Series?
In spite of NBC’s pre-’Red Dragon’ straight-to-series drama ‘Hannibal‘ not being present at the past Upfront event, a considerable amount of buzz surrounds the series. After all, to put Hannibal Lecter on TV you’d need some ace casting, no? We already knew that Hugh Dancy would take the role of a young agent Will Graham, but we’ve been tepidly swirling our Chianti waiting for news of the man him
Sorry Brah, ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ Cancelled
Somewhat sad news, folks. While much of last week was spent on an upswing watching show after show get officially picked up and renewed, it seems two of TV’s underrepresented mainstays are about to go gentle into that goodnight.

Could ‘The Incredible Hulk’ Still Smash His Way Onto TV?
As just about everyone in the world knows by now, The Hulk completely stole the show in Marvel’s ‘The Avengers‘ these past few weeks.

TBS Picks Up New Norm MacDonald Talk Show
It’ll always be a shame to us that Norm MacDonald never took off the way Will Ferrell did following ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Both great ‘Saturday Night Live’ stars and breakout performers, yet MacDonald never found the film success or popularity of Ferrell in any of his comedies. But, you know what Will Ferrell never had? His own talk show on TBS!
