Buzz News Roundup, 11/21
- Strike news: A huge number of actors will be recording PSAs in support of the writers on the LA Weekly's Deadline Hollywood Daily blog; the New York Times says some showrunners have returned to their non-writing duties; the LA Times says the strike could cost the city $20 million per day; and Variety has the news that directors have reached a deal that will probably keep them off the picket lines.
- Billboard says Weezer will release a new album in April, while NME has the tracklist for frontman Rivers Cuomo's solo album.
- David Hasselhoff may reprise his Knight Rider role for NBC's remake, Zap2it reports.
- Cirque du Soleil will open a show in Hollywood starting in 2010, writes Variety.

- Variety reports that advertisements for Shoot 'Em Up have been banned in the UK.
Back to You will be Back for More
The latest show to get a full-season pickup: Back to You, the Kelsey Grammer/Patricia Heaton comedy on Fox. The show was one of the first to be picked up by any network last spring, so I suppose it only makes sense that Fox would be standing by it now.
The network has ordered 11 more episodes of the show, bringing the total number of episodes to 24 for the season.
TV Tonight: Welcome Back, TV!
Finally! At long last, it's starting to get hard to decide what to watch on TV. While many shows don't start till next week, three networks have new shows premiering tonight, and most of them are worth a look:
- Fox has the premiere of its new comedy "Back to You" and Gordan Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares," with a new episode of "'Til Death" sandwiched in bewteen.
- CBS has the much-ballyhooed premiere of "Kid Nation"
- The CW kicks off the new season of "America's Next Top Model," then follows it up with the first episode of "Gossip Girl."
Pilot Watch: "Back to You"
The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. A lot can change before a show makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
First Connecticut, Now Pennsylvania?
A while back, I told you that Connecticut was becoming filmmaking's latest hot spot. Now, I'm wondering if Pennsylvania's next. Much to Sienna Miller's likely chagrin, filmmakers and TV producers haven't exactly fled the state ever since her famously nasty comments while filming The Mysteries of Pittsburgh there last year.
Get a Sneak Peek of the New Fox Shows!
Thanks to Fox, we now have sneak previews of that network's new fall shows, to add to the clips we've already seen from ABC, NBC, CBS and the CW. I'm eager to hear what you think of these clips, so get watching!
"New Amsterdam" (pictured above)
I still think this story of an immortal detective is the strangest of Fox's shows.

5 Reasons New Moon Is Good: A Follow-Up
Last April, while New Moon was in production, I gave you five reasons why I thought the movie could be good. I think the sequel is better than Twilight, which many of you agree with, but let's get back to my five April theories — does New Moon fulfill them all?

Movie Preview: Ben Stiller Plays It Straight in Greenberg
I have a love/hate relationship with Ben Stiller movies. Over the years, I've grown tired of seeing him in the same everyman role again and again (with a few exceptions, like There's Something About Mary), but every now and then he throws a curve ball that pulls me back in. Greenberg already looks like one of the latter films.
House Rundown, "Ignorance is Bliss"
With Cameron gone, the new (old) team is still working out the kinks in this week's House — and it feels like the writers aren't sure where the show's going either. The episode tackles a genius patient with what appears to be TTP, Thanksgiving, and House and Cuddy all in one swoop. And while the doc is back to acting like a selfish jerk following his recent good behavior, I didn't even find his quips that amusing.
