New Season for Secret Life

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, Gossip, Renewals

In the middle of all the winter reality and new small-screen comedies, ABC Family’s surprise hit will reappear next month. That’s right: The Secret Life of the American Teenager is returning Monday, January 5.

The first season was split into two as the show began to create more buzz and excitement. The eleventh episode “Just Say No,” the last to air before the fall break, drew more than four and half million viewers. It’s official: the family drama is a success.

Ten more episodes will now air for the second season, bringing viewers up-to-date on all the relationships, twists and, of course, the status of Amy Jergens (Shailene Woodley) and her as-yet-unborn baby. For those who want a refresher, ABC Family will air the first eleven episodes in an all-day marathon January 4.

Can’t sit in front of the TV that Sunday? The first season of the series will also be available on DVD as of December 30.

VH1’s unexpected reality hit Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew will return for a second season as soon as October 23. For those of us who got addicted to the series, it’s a been a long, hard detox (made tolerable at times only because the media has done its best to keep us all apprised of casting news, future tidbits and other behind-the-scenes extras). Need a quick fix? VH1 has unveiled the Rehab trailer to give us all a little dose of what we’ve all been missing. Ready for a relapse?

Shows Planning a Return in 2009

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Bravo, CBS, FX, HBO, Entourage, Renewals

While it’s probably be safe to assume that Fringe and 90210 would both be handed 2009 renewal notices - especially since they’ve already been given full season orders - this television season is still far too young.

Here is, though, what we do know already about next year’s programming calendar:

• Big Brother (CBS) - Season 11
• Entourage (HBO) - Season 6
• Flashpoint (CBS) - Season 2
• Here Come the Newlyweds (ABC) - Season 2
• Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (Bravo) - Season 5
• My Boys (TBS) - Season 3
• Sons of Anarchy (FX) - Season 2
• True Blood (HBO) - Season 2

Chris Noth Leaves Law & Order: Criminal Intent

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, NBC, News, Renewals

After leaving his mark on two different Law & Order franchises, Chris Noth has decided to leave the Dick Wolf family once again.

Noth, who has been playing Det. Mike Logan on Law & Order: Criminal Intent for three years, originated the character when the first series unfolded on NBC back in 1990. (He stuck around that time through 1995.)

When the USA Network program returns for its 8th season (it’s still in the middle of its seventh), Jurassic Park‘s Jeff Goldblum will be the new face sharing screen time with Vincent D’Onofrio.

In a statement, USA’s executive vice-president of original programming said, “Jeff is one of the most exciting actors around and is a perfect addition to the Law & Order: Criminal Intent ensemble. We are very excited to see what new moves he will bring to the Major Case Squad.” Well, I hope he brings a lot - especially since he’ll reportedly be getting about $250,000 per episode.

There’s been no word as to how or when Noth will be making his exit.
