While there's only one title available now — The Dark Knight — the goal is to release more digital Read more

TV Tonight: "Six Degrees"


Updated 07/20/07 11:07 AM · Posted by BuzzSugar · 7 comments

The story of ABC's "Six Degrees" could really be a metaphor for this whole sorry TV season. The show had the right pedigree ("Lost" creator J.J. Abrams) and the right time slot (right after "Grey's Anatomy"), yet it never gained traction with viewers. So ABC yanked it from the schedule before the holidays, revamped it, and trotted it back out in March, only to pull it again two episodes later. Read more

Unseen "Black Donnellys" Episodes Start to Surface

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

ABC Moves Online with "Voicemail"

Online-only series seem to be all the rage for TV networks these days, and ABC is the latest to jump into the ring with "Voicemail." The series consists of short episodes — most just a minute long — based on messages left for Mike, a twentysomething living your standard slacker-dude life. It's sort of a live-action version of Amy's Answering Machine, inspired by a decade of voicemails saved Read more

Steven Bochco's "Cafe Confidential"

Writer-producer Steven Bochco is best known for his gritty TV dramas, including "Hill Street Blues," "LA Law," and "NYPD Blue." But now he's trying his hand at something warmer and fuzzier by producing a series of confessional-style videos for Metacafe. In this Los Angeles Times story about the project, Bochco likens himself to a camp counselor sitting around the fire listening to his Read more

All 18 Episodes of "Heroes" Are Online

If you missed out on the start of "Heroes" when it premiered in the fall, you don't have to wait for the DVDs. NBC has put all 18 episodes of the show online for a limited time. Granted, that's a lot of catching up to do if you're starting from scratch, but the show is off the air until April 23, so at least there's time. The site doesn't say how long the episodes will be available, but when NBC Read more

Amy Sedaris Meets "Andy Barker" Online

The new Andy Richter comedy, "Andy Barker, P.I." starts its five-episode run on NBC this Thursday. But there's actually a sixth episode of the show that guest-stars one of my favorite funny ladies, Amy Sedaris. The online-only episode, called "The Lady Varnishes," has Sedaris playing a former starlet who claims to have been framed for murder. In case that isn't intriguing enough, it also includes Read more

"The Black Donnellys" Bonus Episode Online

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
