Blue Brain

The Lost 2-hour season premier of the final season kicks off tonight. The show notorious for raising a handful of questions for every 1 question it answers is back to finally wrap-up everything into one neat little package? Right? I hope so. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve yelled out “WHAT?” at the end an episode. I realize it’s just a TV show but there are so many loose ends that need to be wrapped up that I’m almost watching in disbelief that it’s possible to make sense of it all. What is all that crazy jungle whispering? How did John Locke come back to life? What’s up with Walt’s have special powers?  Why does Hurley see dead people? How does Hurley remain to be 300lbs on an island with limited food resources? Where is Claire? How is the island connected to Egyptian mythology? … I could do this all day.

The producers have said they plan to wrap up long-standing mysteries, such as the nature of the smoke monster, the four-toed statue of Taweret, the identity of the Adam & Eve skeletons from the season one episode “House of the Rising Sun”, and the reason the Dharma periodic resupply drops continue after the purge. Let’s hope they don’t disappoint.

The kids of South Park return tonight for the second half of the 13th season. The episode titled “Dead Celebrities” appears to be a the writers taking a poke at the explosion of ghost hunting shows popping up all over TV. Powerful forces are tormenting Ike Broflovski, the adopted younger brother of Kyle. He’s freaked out and the stress could kill him. Kyle and the boys are doing everything they can to save him, but the poltergeists won’t leave the poor kid alone. They’re forced to seek out professional ghost hunters to bring some sense of normalcy back to the Broflovski household.

Well it looks like Sacred Heart isn’t closing its doors after all. It’s official — there will be a ninth season of Scrubs. And it looks like Scrubs may become very similar to the medical drama E.R. — not in content, but rather in it’s rotating style cast. Zach Braff (J.D.) and Sarah Chalk (Elliot Reid) will be returning for the first six episodes to “help transition the show to its new set-up, details for which are still being hammered out” according to the Hollywood Reporter. Donald Faison (Turk) and John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox) have both shot pilots for new shows, however if their pilots don’t get picked up they may be returning to the show as regular cast members. Ken Jenkins (Bob Kelso) will be making guest appearances in some capacity. No word yet as to whether or not Judy Reyes (Carla) or Sam Lloyd (Ted) will be returning to the show. Neil Flynn (Janitor) will appear in the first episode of the new season — however his new show The Middle has been picked up by ABC and airs September 30th.

It’s official — the entire voice cast of Futurama has just signed a new contract with Fox after weeks of intense salary negotiations.

As late as last week, the network was threatening to replace the original voices of Matt Groening‘s cult-hit cartoon, to the point of actually announcing a casting call for voice actors to replace them.

The Futurama voice cast includes John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille and Katey Sagal.

The compromise agreement, with the studio paying more and the actors accepting less, comes after the announcement of a 26-episode pick-up here by Comedy Central. Futurama also airs internationally in syndication, has produced four bestselling straight-to-DVD movies (later cut into episodes) and an upcoming feature film.

Interesting news for you Lost fans out there– so don’t read forward if you don’t want any details. It’s sounds like Jack’s crazy plan worked.

During Comic-Con this year numerous sixth season reports were made including the announcement of the return of Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet Burke), Jeremy Davies (Daniel Faraday) and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie Pace),  as well as the inclusion of Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert) as a main character. Josh Holloway stated his character Sawyer would revert back to his old self after the loss of Juliet.

Much like that gas station burrito you thought tasted great at the time — the news of Futurama returning in 2010 to please starving fans has turned horribly crappy.

20th Century Fox TV is producing 26 new episodes for a mid-year cable run on Comedy Central, but talks have broken down with voice stars Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, and Tress MacNeille over money. Fox is trying to cut costs for the move to cable and has offered the cast much less than they were asking (believed to be around $75,000 per episode).

Have you grown tired of bad TV news? And by bad TV news, I mean bad news about television shows. Bad “TV news” is redundant.

Well, get ready for some good news. No wait, get ready for some great news. No, great doesn’t really describe it. Here is some grantasticularly wondergasmiclicious news! (And my 12th grade English teacher said I’d never amount to anything as a writer.)

Comedy Central has ordered all brand new episodes of Futurama, and the show has officially gone back into production.

An insider told Collider.com that the network has given the series an order for 13 additional episodes to air now that the network has run through all of the series’ original episodes and the four full-length DVD movies.
