30 Rock Season 3 Premiere: Do-Over - Watch now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, NBC, Internet
We’re big fans of this whole Internet thing, and we think it’s gonna continue to change the face of television in the next 12 months. Case in point, the ginormous Hulu, which many critics said would fail before it was even in beta. Of course, now, Hulu has proved itself an enormous success, celebrating its one-year anniversary just yesterday.
So, why the Hulu love today? Well, it just so happens that last week, they posted the Season Premiere of 30 Rock. However, that show, subtitled “Do-Over,” isn’t premiering on television until this evening. So, if you used Hulu, you would have had the opportunity to see the entire show, with limited interruption, a week early. Of course, if you prefer your TV in high definition, then you would have have to tune in tonight for that luxury. We’ve embedded 30 Rock: Do Over above - enjoy!

If you’ve found yourself without a plan on this Labor Day Weekend, there’s a new way to keep yourself busy online.
Earlier this week, viewers of the old WB were given a free way to watch some of their now-cancelled shows. At TheWB.com, fans can access programs just like they would on any other network-sponsored site. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville, Angel, Everwood, Roswell, One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls are amongst the selections offered.
Meanwhile, other shows that didn’t originate on the WB (but were produced by Warner Bros.) are also included on the site. That list is comprised of such titles as Friends, The O.C., Veronica Mars, Babylon 5 and Firefly.
Although the number of episodes are currently limited, fresh hours will be posted weekly.

Entourage Available on iTunes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Cable, HBO, Entourage, DVD, Internet
After four years on air, Entourage fans will finally be getting another way to watch the cable series.
As of today, Seasons 1 and 2 of the comedy have already been available to iTunes users. The third season will hit the online market on August 18; the fourth arrives the week after that.
If you’re hoping iTunes can spare you from subscribing to HBO, you may be out of luck. If you want to watch your episodes in a timely fashion, you’ll have to cough up the dough. While Season 5 will eventually be available for download, it won’t be placed online until the DVD’s release.
Mark your calendars for the crew’s return on September 7.

Fox Hypes Up Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, 24, Announcements, Internet, News, Video
Feeling quite guilty that I haven’t come across the Dollhouse trailer until now, I felt like I should make up for it by doing Fox a favor and spreading the love!
The trailer for this fall’s sci-fi drama (which you can check out after the jump) has been out and about on YouTube and select TV spots, getting many pretty excited about its premiere. After all, it is Joss Whedon’s first series since Firefly, which went off the air back in 2003 (surprisingly with the same network his new show is on).
Dollhouse, starring former Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BTVS) favorite Eliza Dushku, focuses on a clandestine, illegal operation carried out by agents who have their memories and personalities completely erased after each mission. Dushku plays Echo, one operative who slowly starts to learn more and more about where she works over time—she becomes a known flaw in the system, if you will.
The series premieres in January on Fox, right before 24 in the Monday 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT spot.

Stephen Colbert Shines as Webby Winner
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Internet
Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert won’t be winning a bid in the U.S. Presidential election, but he has managed to walk away with one prestigious award on the year.
Colbert was recently named “Person of the Year” and given a Webby award to mark his feat. Webby awards, a vehicle dreamed up by the Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, are given out for Internet excellence, and those people who do their part to maintain this ideal. The award ceremony takes place June 9 and 10 in New York, but the winners are (as part of Webby tradition) only allowed to make a five-word acceptance speech.
“Person of the Year” is the highest Webby honor. Colbert won for “the innovative way he has used the Internet to interact with fans of The Colbert Report.” Also known as the Colbert Nation, these fans have oft been prompted by Colbert to participate in online activities, such as changing the status of the American buffalo on Wikipedia.

South Park Episodes Available On Own Site
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Internet
Tired of piecing together videos of South Park from YouTube? Well, the creators of the show are too.
To alleviate all the wasted time spent searching, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are offering fans of the show an easier way to keep up with the series. They are now making every single episode of the program available on one site. And for free! In a joint statement, the duo said: “We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time, so we gave ourselves a legal alternative.”
Although the shows are currently running ad free, expect that to change sometime in the near future. Current episodes can also be found on the site though they will experience a short blackout period.
The site (which can be found here) has already had seen several million visitors since debuting last week.

Quarterlife Already Yanked from NBC Schedule
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Bravo, Cable, NBC, Cancellations, Internet, News, Ratings
Question: What dubious honor do Anchorwoman and quarterlife have in common? Answer: They’re both one-and-out shows.
After just one airing, NBC has already decided to pull the plug on its experimental project. (Apparently the network wasn’t feeling quite daring anymore.) Quarterlife - a project created by My So-Called Life‘s Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick - was an internet hit long before it hit the boob tube this week. The Peacock execs, thinking the series’ built-in popularity would bring insta-ratings, gave the show a special debut earlier this week with plans to have it regularly air on Sunday nights. Unfortunately, the idea was far too ambitious for its fickle viewers.
The show’s premiere gave NBC its lowest ratings in the Tuesday 10pm slot in approximately 17 years. While I would usually chide a network for giving up so easily, in this case, I can’t say I blame them. If the program couldn’t succeed in SVU‘s regular time slot, where would it?
Those still interested in watching quarterlife play out can either find it on the web or on its new home - Bravo (NBC’s sister station).

The Rise And Fall Of Britney Spears: Who’s To Blame?
Posted by David Onda Categories: Editorial, Features, Gossip, Internet, News
Forget about Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. The year 2007 belonged to Britney Spears. And not in a, “Hey, Britney Spears is the sexiest women alive and sold a lot of records” kind of way. No, it’s more like, “Hey, Britney Spears split from her back-up dancer husband, had her disgusting hoo-ha and c-section scar plastered all over the internet, shaved all her hair off, lost custody of her children and had a comeback performance/album that bombed.” Yeah, she’s had that kind of year. And frankly, I’m pretty freakin’ tired of seeing her face every time I turn on the TV or go online and having to listen to every step of the “Britney custody saga” reported as legitimate news.
This woman is a disaster. Let’s make that point very clear from the outset. She is clearly a very unstable woman in need of some very serious help, and she’s not getting it. And now that it’s being reported that yet another member of the Spears clan has her tin-roof rusted, I think we need to take a step back and take a look at the big picture. Who is really to blame for the downfall of one of the biggest names and faces in, not only music, but pop culture as a whole? Who is responsible for the destruction of Britney Spears?

‘Lost’ Returns to TV and Web
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Lost, Internet, News
Fans stunned by last May’s Lost cliffhanger have been chompin’ at the bit waiting for a new season to begin. For their patience, they were promised an uninterrupted 16 weeks of episodes come 2008. Of course, the current writers strike had many wondering if their show’s status was in jeopardy.
Although some may fans may not like how ABC has decided to resolve this issue, others will probably be grateful they have something - anything - to look forward to at this point. The network could have opted to shelve their unfinished season (like FOX recently did with 24); they have instead chosen to air the finished eight episodes. In other words, viewers will get only half of what was originally promised. The good news? Co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof says the eighth episode does come with its own cliffhanger. The bad news? Lindelof admits the planned story arc may have to adjust accordingly.
So until Season Four kicks off sometime this February, fans will have mini-teasers to tide them over. ABC’s website will soon begin posting weekly vignettes featuring characters from the show. The episodes - each only a few minutes long - are separately shot videos that somehow belong into the much larger Lost puzzle. You can find the first ‘mobisode’ starting this Monday (November 12th).

Finally… there’s a show that promises to showcase celebrity junk! Where do I sign up? When it comes to celebrities, I must know everything—so why not see their junk too? A&E is the network to pull it off, with their upcoming series Celebrity Garage Sale, created and hosted by Illeana Douglas. Do celebs really have garage sales? Well, I can recall Whitney Houston sold a bunch of her junk and didn’t Tori Spelling too? Douglas will uncover the best celeb garage sales in this unscripted pilot—well, at least her celeb friends anyway, which in the pilot is Tom Arnold. Eh, maybe not such an interesting star for the pilot episode, but the proceeds of the garage sale (and in his case he raised $5,000) goes to charity. According to Douglas, “I’ve always been a garage sale fanatic, but the fun of a celebrity garage sale is that their throwaways become someone else’s collectables—like an Antiques Roadshow to the stars.” I’ve always thought Illeana Douglas was okay, but her short web series Illeanarama was a riot. I think she’s got the right amount of spunk to pull off Celebrity Garage Sale. She has most recently been seen in Ugly Betty.
