ZOMBIES RULE
CBS has failed to pick up Babylon Fields, an awesome show about zombies.
TV.com editor and resident party boy Tim Surette has rallied friends and coworkers to save this show. Here's what he's got to say:
The city of Babylon in AnyState USA has a problem. Seems the dead just don't like being dead no more. Corpses dig their way up from their filthy graves and begin returning home. No, they don't eat flesh (at least not yet), and no, they aren't lumbering, groaning meatbags. Instead, they want to go home to their wives, families, and everything else they left behind.
Obviously, the actually-living are a bit spooked out seeing semi-rotted corpses ringing doorbells and trying to get a drink at the local watering hole, and half the town goes into Rapture mode. Some, however, have more than just "GET THE GUNS" reactions... one widow gladly takes her dead husband back and proceeds to "do it" with him (rigor mortis has its advantages, claims the dead hubby); another mother and daughter apparently killed their patriarch and are freaking out now that he's back, and the show's lead, the town sheriff, must decide between his reanimated wife and his new hottie girlfriend.
If it sounds confusing and weird, it's because it is...and wonderfully so. Babylon Fields was a drama, comedy, horror, and--get this--a crime procedural (one particularly despicable zombie wants to know who murdered him).
Clips just sprung up over on TVWeek.com, but I went a step further and dug up (ha! dug up! get it!?) the pilot and I must say, the show has potential and is a lot better than all the boring stuff on TV these days. I mean, maybe the zombies will realize they need to eat humans? What happens when a zombie impregnates a human? Can the zombies go back to work? What about the dead pets? Can the new zombies be killed? What sort of tension will develop between the living and non-living-but-living?
So to make our zombie-loving voices heard, I went ahead and started an online petition to save the show. Hey, if CBS changed their mind on Jericho, who knows what could happen with Babylon Fields.
Sign the petition! (We were up to 81 signatures as of 12:30pm Wednesday with little to no promotion!)
I think it's clear that we should all sign Tim's petition and bring back the dead!- Posted Oct 17, 2007 4:53 pm PT

26Sep 07The fertile womb of reality TV is swollen once more with the spawn of Mark Burnett. This time around it's a game show designed to prove, once and for all, whose dad is totally the best ever--and, consequently, whose isn't. My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad is slated to hit NBC mid-season, and will pit several fathers and families against one another in an all-out war for money, prizes, and fame. The show "combines the family fun and kid empowerment of Fifth Grader with the universally relatable concept of bragging that your dad is the best," boasts Burnett. Now I'm all for family fun, and I did love Double Dare, but something tells me that the whole "my dad rules" thing isn't that universal. Sure, some of us have great dads, but many of us have childhood memories that are less similar to those of Shiloh-Pax-Zahara-Maddox-Jolie-Pitt and more similar to this:

26Sep 07I hate to break it to you guys, but Fox's Nashville has been pulled from the airwaves after a paltry two airings. The Idol-meets-The Hills-meets-actual-musicians "docu-soap" averaged just 2.4 million total viewers during its short lifespan, which isn't actually that surprising since no one knew it had even premiered. Starting on October 19, the show's lousy Friday night timeslot will be filled by the slightly more promising The Next Great American Band, and until then viewers without weekend social lives can fill their time with K-Ville reruns. TGIF!
Disappointed fans--I mean fan--of Nashville (I'm talking to you, Waltmor) can visit the show's official Web site for clips, recaps, message boards, and more. There are also at least two full episodes available, but as you have to install some weird special media player, I didn't bother.- Posted Sep 26, 2007 11:15 am PT

22Jun 07Okay, dudes, I didn't think I needed to say this but today's investigations have proven me wrong. Lend me your eyeballs for a moment and check out this little piece of advice:
Please never, ever add the words "do not use" or "delete" to the end of a duplicate ID's actor name, even if all the credits have been transferred (and especially if they haven't).
Imagine if you were an actor looking for work, and a potential employer Googled your name and saw "TV.com member - DELETE, DO NOT USE," or even if you just Googled yourself and found that. Not such a warm and fuzzy feeling, right?
If you must change something, a short explanation in the bio field will do.
(end of mean teacher voice)
We heartily appreciate your efforts here, and want to make the whole process as problem-free as possible for everyone involved. That means you, us, and also the actors. Sound good?
Thanks again to all for your help with the credit transferals and the reporting of duplicate IDs. They're lining up for a trip to the big database in the sky!

8Sep 06Okay, so no one responded to my subtly announced "win my Emmys wristband" contest, since I buried that announcement deep within an episode of The Scoop. Bummer. I guess I've got to come up with a new way to give this super awesome and totally cool prize away--so the very first person to respond to this blog wins it all!! Here's a picture, and yes, my wristband is identical to the one given away by Missribs. In fact, this is the same picture she posted, because I didn't feel like taking a whole new picture of my wristband.
