Witchy ‘Eastwick’ Business Coming to ABC

Lipstick Jungle’s Lindsay Price has a new show!
According to Variety (and all those other websites reporting left and right about which shows are a go for the 2009–2010 season), ABC has given a series order to Price’s pilot called Eastwick.
Based on the film and book of the nearly same name The Witches of Eastwick, the hourlong drama with a paranormal twist revolves around three women — one played by Price, of course — who come into some handy otherworldly powers after their men do them wrong.
I don’t have to say I’m looking forward to this, right?

‘Dollhouse’s Amy Acker in ‘Happy Town’ at ABC

Today is a darn good day for Dollhouse fans. In yet more Whedonverse news, Eliza Dushku’s co-star Amy Acker, also known as super-bad Active Whiskey and super-talented Dr. Claire Saunders around the Doll facility, has reportedly scored a new show.
Chatter indicates ABC has picked up the pilot for her small-town murder mystery Happy Town for the 2009–2010 season. As with most of the fall-schedule news leaked online recently, an official announcement is expected next week during the broadcast networks’ upfront presentations, which will probably include scheduling details, as well.
In the meantime, Happy Town is from the same creative …read more

Life Is Good: ‘Sarah Connor’ Gets Full Season

I repeat: Following the news exactly one week ago that Fox had given showrunners the go-ahead to produce two more scripts for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the network has now made the supremely wise decision to pick up the allegedly endangered sophomore sci-fi series for a full 22-episode season.
Whoo-hoo! Do we Sarah Connor fans have reason to rejoice or what?!
Apparently, for once, the Fox Powers That Be listened to faithful viewers and others who realized that if there’s one show currently on television that deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to ratings, it’s Terminator. …read more

‘Fringe’ Follows ‘90210’ with Full Season Pickup

Hooray for Grrl TV!
Just nine days after The CW announced that its lightweight freshman drama 90210 has been picked up for a full season, Fox has done the same for the heavyweight J.J. Abrams paranormal/sci-fi thriller Fringe.
Both shows have had nine episodes (nine must be a magic number, huh?) added to their respective network’s original order of thirteen installments, bringing them to a traditional 22-episode full season.
I’m happy for the cast and crew of each show: 90210 gives me a little mindless fluff to enjoy for an hour each week, while Fringe, which requires substantially more brain power, tickles my …read more
