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 for a DVD set to see what happens.
"30 Rock" Will be Back! "Donnellys," Not So Lucky
Let's take the bad news first: According to Variety, "The Black Donnellys" is done, effective immediately.

"The Black Donnellys": One Ending, Two Songs
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 watching both versions, I'm amazed at how much the song changes the character of the ending.
TV Preview: "The Black Donnellys"
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.
