The Doctor will see you now — or, more specifically, in a few weeks.

BBC America has acquired the Stateside rights to five Doctor Who specials that mark the end of both Russell T. Davies’ stint as show-runner and David Tennant’s run as the titular time-traveler. Producer Steven Moffat and actor Matt Smith will succeed Davies and Tennant starting with Season 5.

DEXTER has a new bad guy or is it role model ?

raideruk — Wed, 27 May 2009 20:42:55 +0000

Sources confirm that John Lithgow is joining the season 4 cast as Walter Simmons, an unassuming suburbanite who has been living a dual life as one of America’s most prolific and deadliest serial killers. When the mad man (who is dubbed the “Trinity Killer” because he always kills in threes) relocates to Miami, Dexter becomes obsessed (or inspired?) by his efficient killing methods and ability to evade capture for almost three decades.

Spanish grandmother who billed herself as the “world’s oldest internet blogger” has died at the age of 97.

Maria Amelia Lopez only began blogging from her seaside home in Galicia two years ago.

But her postings on international affairs, Spanish politics and old age quickly turned her into a celebrity, attracting followers around the world.

Season 2 of TRUE BLOOD starts on June 14 with an episode called ” NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD”.

CBS has canceled Without A Trace and renewed Numb3rs.

Fox’s official plan for the 2009-10 TV season includes good news for House and Bones fans: The two popular series are staying put on their respective nights. They’ll also boost two returning freshman series: Tim Roth’s Lie to Me has scored the plum après-House berth on Monday, while Fringe will lead out of Bones on Thursday.

Dollhouse will remain in the Fridays-at-9 pm slot.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has officially been powered down. Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly tells TVGuide.com that no matter how well Christian Bale’s Terminator Salvation theatrical release does, the TV series will not be back.

CBS is disbanding The Unit after four seasons. No talk of another network rescuing it.

BC has pulled the plug on My Name is Earl.

BONES picked up for two more seasons

Capping one of the upfront season’s most prolonged back-and-forths over the licensing fee paid by the network to the studio, Fox has decided to renew Bones — for a fifth and sixth season.

Executive producer Hart Hanson announced the pick-up on Saturday, via his Twitter account. Later, Hanson confirmed that Fox had ordered not just one but two more seasons.

Bones likely will be paired on Thursday nights with So You Think You Can Dance, which this year will be launching a fall season veritably on the heels of this summer’s cycle.

Bones joins Lie to Me, Fringe, Dollhouse and 24 as Fox’s officially announced returning dramas for the 2009-10 TV season.

Is your Twitter feed looking a little quieter than usual?

raideruk — Thu, 14 May 2009 10:02:46 +0000

It used to be the case that you could control the types of @replies you saw in your feed. The old guard of Twitter not only saw replies to their updates from other users, including those they don’t follow, but also the replies of their followers to people they don’t follow.
