ABC's canceled serial thriller "The Nine" will air six more episodes starting in August, says the Futon Critic. The makers of Indiana Jones 4 are insisting on not using any CG effects in order to maintain the style of the older Indiana Jones movies, reports the New Haven Register. The Los Angeles Times says fans of "The Black Donnellys" are sending crackers to HBO, hoping the channel will pick Read more

Fans of "The Black Donnellys," it's time to shake off that cancellation-induced coma and head over to NBC.com. The first two unaired episodes have made their way to NBC's video player, where other two filmed episodes should also wind up eventually. I'm glad that "Donnellys" at least has a venue online to "broadcast" the rest of its episodes; plot lines can get tied up and fans don't have to hope Read more

Let's take the bad news first: According to Variety, "The Black Donnellys" is done, effective immediately. NBC had already planned to bump it in two weeks, but its poor showing this week apparently pushed NBC to shut it down earlier. According to Variety, the remaining episodes will stream on NBC's video site eventually. Now the good news: "30 Rock" is coming back! Yes, it's still early here Read more

Hope you weren't getting too attached to "The Wedding Bells" or "Six Degrees." They were two of the shows axed this week as the networks reshuffled their schedules. Among the other casualties: "The Black Donnellys," which might only get to air two more episodes, and "7th Heaven," which is being canceled (supposedly for real this time). According to Variety, the networks said low ratings were Read more

Now, I've heard of deleted scenes — but a whole deleted episode? That's what NBC has done with "The Black Donnellys." Apparently this episode, called "God is a Comedian," was "too shocking" for network TV, so NBC put it online instead. Like a lot of you, I'm kind of digging the show so far, so I'm curious to give this bonus episode a look. On the other hand, I wonder how "Donnellys" will deal Read more

The song that played over the final scenes of "The Black Donnellys" on Monday apparently wasn't the original choice for that spot. There are two versions of the ending floating around right now: one that aired on Monday and features Snow Patrol's "Open Your Eyes" over the climactic scenes, and one from the original, unaired pilot with Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)" playing instead. After Read more

I'm just going to say this up front: NBC's "The Black Donnellys" is a little like "The Sopranos," if all of Tony Soprano's associates were incredibly attractive young men. Between the good-looking cast and the cinematic, almost epic look of the pilot, "The Black Donnellys," which premieres tonight, is definitely doing just fine in the eye-candy department. The show, which is taking over the Read more

Turns out, NBC really, really wants you to watch "The Black Donnellys." First, the network made the first episode of the show — which is bumping "Studio 60" off the schedule — available on Netflix back in January. Now, they've put the whole pilot online — for free — over at Yahoo! TV. I'm glad to have the chance to see the show ahead of time, but how does NBC actually expect anyone to Read more
