Patricia Arquette - Take 5 (Entertainment Weekly Interview) + 2007 David Letterman Interview

[weber_dubois22]

I stumbled across this completely bizarre video on YouTube this morning, and I had to share it. It’s a little bit older, as Patricia Arquette has longer hair, but it’s an interview with EW.com in which she discusses her top 5 urban legends. They start out normal enough, with the legend of cats having 9 lives. Then, things get progressively sillier. She talks about cats being grown in bowls, a variety of snow people, and how Saskwatch is a fancy foreign name for Bigfoot. The video is compeltely random and completely hilarious. Check it out below:

If NBC didn't like 'Southland' why didn't it just keep 'Medium'?

[weber_dubois22]

So let's get this straight. Last May, NBC renewed its freshman cop drama "Southland" for the fall season. The plan was to put it on at 9 p.m. Friday nights. Although "Southland" didn't draw huge numbers when it was on last spring, it had some critical buzz. The dark drama (I'm tired of the word "gritty") followed Los Angeles beat cops and was known for the way it bleeped out swear words to give the show an authentic feel. It sounds hokey but it actually sort of worked.

Anyway, at the same time the brain trust at NBC was deciding to keep "Southland" -- even though they knew it would move from a 10 p.m. time slot to the earlier 9 p.m. slot -- to make room for Jay Leno's prime-time invasion, it decided to cancel "Medium," a softer drama about a woman who solves crimes by talking to the dead. After NBC passed on "Medium," CBS pounced and grabbed it for its Friday night lineup.

This is why Thursday's decision to cancel "Southland" just weeks before its second season got started and substitute the news magazine "Dateline" is all the more confusing. NBC is spinning that the show was just too gritty hardscrabble for 9 p.m. (8 p.m. central and mountain) and indeed we reported over the summer that the network was concerned about the content in the earlier time slot.

[6.03]: "Pain Killer" (Discussion Thread)

[weber_dubois22]

Friday, Oct. 9 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) - "Pain Killer" - A cancer-stricken friend of Allison's dies suddenly, leading her to suspect the woman's illness did not kill her and that a hospital staffer is to blame. And, Joe takes cues from a story Bridgette wrote when it eerily echoes his latest job interview, on MEDIUM, on the CBS Television Network. Guest Starring Oded Fehr and Martha Plimpton.

CliqueClack TV Reviews 6x03: "Pain Killer": Are Allison’s dreams to be trusted?

[weber_dubois22]

This week was a bit of strange brew over at Medium. Oh, it was a very familiar feeling case, with the cryptic dreams, and a very bad man in Allison’s sights. But everything was just a little bit off. Not off in the bad way, like a ball was dropped somewhere along the production line. No, things were off in a very interesting way that tied in with the coma to once again raise questions about what may have changed with Allison’s ability. As we sorted through that, we also got some follow up on Joe’s big job search, and a return of the ongoing story of Bridgette’s abilities.

CBS Wins Thrice Over with Friday Ratings (Again)

[weber_dubois22]

Fast National ratings for Friday, Oct. 9, 2009

Friday night's ratings for CBS took a similar path to last Friday giving it the most viewers thanks to new series "Medium" and mainstays "Ghost Whisperer" and "Numb3rs." But NBC's justice slate of "Law & Order" and "Dateline" came in second, proving that scheduled repeats of new series "FlashForward" and "Modern Family" just isn't enough when so few viewers are available.

CBS averaged 8 million viewers and an 5.1 rating/9 share in households. NBC took second with 6.5 million viewers and an 4.4/8 share, ABC (4 million, 2.8/5) was third, followed by FOX (2.3 million, 1.5/3) came in fourth, ahead of The CW (1.7 million, 1.1/2). In the adults 18-49 demo, CBS garnered a 1.9 rating. NBC scored a 1.5, followed by ABC at 1.0, FOX with 0.9 and The CW at 0.7. Friday night hour by hour.
