Do You Want to See More Superman Stories?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:30:28 -0700

Last week there came news that Callum Blue has joined the cast of Smallville in the role of the villainous General Zod. Blue will play the young version of Superman's future arch-nemesis in the upcoming ninth season. Not long after this news broke, rumors started circulating about a possible Smallville movie (on TV) slated for Dec. 2010, which would act as a platform for a Smallville spinoff series.

It remains to be seen whether there's any truth to these rumors at all, though it all certainly seems plausible. But after nine years of this show, plus things like Bryan Singer's 2006 movie Superman Returns, should there be a Smallville movie? Is there no end to interesting stories about Superman? Or do you think we're pretty much done with the man of steel?

S and B, the Winchester Boys, and Tyra are Back for the CW

BuzzSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 14:31:09 -0800

Fans of Gossip Girl, rejoice! There's another season of frenemy-making, backstabbing, and rabble-rousing from S, B, and the rest of the Upper East Siders coming our way.

Gossip Girl is one of six series that the CW renewed today. The others: the Thursday night lineup of Smallville and Supernatural, the comedy Everybody Hates Chris, the drama One Tree Hill, and America's Next Top Model - for not one but two more cycles. All six of the shows will return this Fall, according to the CW - which I assume ends the speculation that Gossip Girl could start its second season over the summer.

In the meantime, Gossip Girl will move to Mondays when it returns April 21 with the first of five new episodes. One Tree Hill will also have more new episodes in April, and Everybody Hates Chris returned to the air with new episodes last night. Smallville has more new episodes this month and in April, while Supernatural will return April 14. And, of course, the latest cycle of ANTM has only just begun.

TV Tonight: The New Thursday

BuzzSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 10:38:09 -0700

Last season, Thursday was the night I rarely budged from my couch, what with TV serving up a lovely cocktail of "Ugly Betty" plus "The Office" with a splash of "Grey's Anatomy" on top. This season's Thursday is already looking crowded, and several of the shows that make it such a blockbuster night - "30 Rock" and "Scrubs" on NBC, "Supernatural" on The CW - aren't even coming back just yet.

The rest are, though, starting with "Ugly Betty," which had one of the craziest cliffhangers of the spring. Tonight's premiere episode features a telenovela parody in addition to the big reveal of which characters made it through the finale's apparent bloodbath alive. Then, of course, there's a special hour-long episode of "The Office" going head-to-head with "Grey's" for the first time. Over on "CSI," the big mystery is the search for Sara, who was left for dead in the spring finale. And on "Smallville," Supergirl makes her first appearance. Add in "My Name is Earl," "Without a Trace," "Survivor" and the game shows over on Fox, and it's going to be a crazy night.

The evening's sole new network show is "Big Shots," which is heavy on the eye candy with Michael Vartan, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus, and Joshua Malina (for those who prefer eye candy of the geeky kind). Unfortunately, I thought the pilot was pretty dismal, though I'm holding out some hope that things could get better. In such a crowded field, what are you planning to watch? To watch previews for several of the shows, just read more

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our Supergirl. Canadian actress Laura Vandervoort has been cast as Superman's counterpart on "Smallville." Vandervoort, who most recently played Sadie on The N's "Instant Star" and had a role in The Lookout, will make her debut in the show's season premiere.
Meanwhile, Katie Cassidy - David Cassidy's 20-year-old daughter - will join the cast of "Supernatural." She'll play a demon hunter who meets up with the Winchester boys in the first episode of the next season.
Those of us who have been enjoying Lifetime's "Army Wives" are in luck: The show, which is the highest rated series in Lifetime history, has been renewed for a second season of 18 episodes. The season will start sometime in the spring of 2008.

Coming soon to a TV near you: "Car Talk," the animated series. The show will be based on the call-in radio show where brothers Tom and Ray - or Click and Clack, as they're known - answer questions about listeners' cars. The series, which will air on PBS, apparently will pick up when the radio show ends, delving into the brothers' personal lives.
